Software Engineer @Panora (backed by Hexa)

ABOUT PANORA Panora is building a suite of AI-powered agents for insurance brokers - a highly regulated and operationally complex industry. Our ambition is to become the AI Operating System for brokers in Europe: automating high-friction workflows while improving compliance, advisory quality, and client relationships. The product is already live with brokerage firms across France and Belgium, with AI assistants in production (quotation automation, contract comparison, coverage analysis, compliance checks, document generation…). Panora enables brokers to save hours every week, reduce analysis time by up to 70%, and focus on what truly matters: advising clients . Founded by Diane du Paty (ex-VC, operator) and Fabian Langlet (repeat founder, AI product engineer), Panora is backed by Hexa (Aircall, Spendesk, Front). We are entering a key phase of scaling and industrializing our AI platform. At Panora, AI is not a feature - it is the core product layer, deployed in real-world conditions with strong constraints on reliability, traceability, and compliance. ABOUT THE ROLE As a Software Engineer, you'll join a small engineering team working directly with Fabian (CTO & Co-founder) and Jeremy (Founding Software Engineer).

Your work will sit at the intersection of: - Backend engineering - AI-powered product features - Data processing and integrations - Product development You'll have ownership over meaningful parts of the product while learning how to build robust software in a complex, regulated environment. WHAT TO EXPECT - You'll join an existing product already used by real customers. - You'll spend as much time improving existing systems as building new features. - You'll work with complex workflows, unstructured data and production constraints. - You'll own features end-to-end, from implementation to deployment. - You'll work closely with users, founders and the rest of the engineering team to continuously improve the product. RESPONSIBILITIES Build Product - Design, build and ship product features used daily by insurance brokers. - Improve existing workflows and build new ones across the platform. - Work closely with the founders to turn customer feedback into product improvements.
