Technical Support Engineer at Kalepa

United States

$85k - $135k

About Kalepa: Insurance is a $7T global industry built on professional labor: underwriting, claims, pricing, operations, and distribution. Kalepa is building AI that can perform that work. We create professional-grade AI systems for insurers: software that can read, reason, decide, and act inside real workflows and operate over long-time horizons. Kalepa begins by augmenting professionals with the tools to succeed at their jobs. That earns us the right to learn from real decisions, capture decision traces, and automate what can be automated successfully over time. Our products are already in production with leading insurers, driving measurable outcomes and expanding across functions. The opportunity is far broader than any single workflow: to build the AI operating system for decision-making across insurance. For people who want to work on AI that matters, in a sector where correctness, trust, and real-world impact count, Kalepa is just getting started. Kalepa is backed by leading investors such as IA Ventures and Inspired Capital, and our team brings experience from Facebook, Palantir, Google, Amazon, McKinsey, Mastercard, and Uber. Our Values (This is important): Many organizations have a dusty list of corporate values that no one ever follows. Kalepa is not one of those companies. Our values are designed to unlock the potential of our employees. Success at Kalepa is bred from five core principles: Hustle and Determination - We hire people who take full ownership of their craft and relentlessly pursue excellence with speed and determination. We choose the hard problems and do not give up. This is the foundation of how we work and how we win. Deliver Customer Impact - We're obsessed with customer impact. Every feature, every line of code, every decision is measured against one question: does this help insurers make better decisions? If it doesn't drive speed, accuracy, or profitability for our customers, we don't build it. Meritocracy - We're building something exceptional, and that requires exceptional people and ideas. We have a high bar but we reward excellence with rapid growth. If you're the best at what you do, you'll thrive here. Transparency - We value honest, transparent communication over politics. We challenge ideas, not people. We say what needs to be said, even when it's hard. This is how we solve problems fast and find the truth. Experiment Relentlessly - Many of the problems we face have never been solved before. We tackle them by testing quickly, measuring rigorously, and iterating until we find the path forward. Speed of learning is our advantage. In addition to our NY office, we have remote employees speaking 10+ languages across the globe. But we invest in bringing our people together both for regional meetups and global offsites (2021 - Playa Del Carmen | 2022 - Rome | 2023 - Buenos Aires | 2024 - Lisbon | 2025 - Cartagena). Kalepa’s culture isn’t for everyone, and that’s ok. But for the people who are a fit, they can’t imagine working elsewhere.

This role is designed to own the technical investigation and resolution of issues across Kalepa's AI platform for insurance. You'll be the connective tissue between our customers and our development teams, triaging and investigating complex technical issues, driving resolutions, and building the systems and processes that make our support function world-class. You'll work directly with large-scale enterprise clients who rely on Kalepa's platform to make critical decisions, so your ability to earn trust, communicate clearly under pressure, and go deep on technical problems is critical. What you'll do: Technical Investigation & Resolution Investigate reported issues end to end within Kalepa’s AI underwriting platform. Coordinate technical resolution end-to-end. Distinguish working-as-expected behavior from genuine bugs, configuration issues, user education gaps, and feature requests. Manage your own queue and hit response and resolution targets consistently. Client Communication Draft responses to Kalepa’s clients that are clear, accurate, and resolve the issue without unnecessary back and forth. Maintain professional, consistent communication across all client touchpoints. Engineering & Cross-Functional Coordination File Jira tickets with full diagnostic context when issues are confirmed bugs, so Engineering has what they need to resolve quickly. Identify patterns across tickets and surface them to Client Success and Product as themes worth addressing structurally.

You communicate clearly in writing. You can explain technical issues to non-technical audiences and write responses that hold up under scrutiny from sophisticated users. You are comfortable operating in ambiguity. Many of the issues you will own do not have a documented answer, and the right resolution requires synthesizing product behavior, client context, and operational judgment. You are operationally disciplined. You manage your own queue, hit response targets consistently, and do not let things age. You are metrics-driven, with a strong ability to combine quantitative and qualitative insights. You value open, direct, and respectful communication. You enjoy being part of a collaborative, thoughtful, and purpose-driven environment. Experience supporting complex data-heavy SaaS products As a plus: Insurtech or Fintech product experience.
