About this job

About the Role

Join the founding engineering team at an AI-powered commercial insurance company. You will work directly with the founder to build core AI systems that streamline how businesses find and obtain insurance coverage.

What You'll Do

  • Build browser-use agents that automate insurance workflows.

  • Develop voice AI for conversations with clients and insurance carriers.

  • Create long-horizon LLM pipelines and robust evaluation frameworks.

  • Build carrier integrations and AI-powered quoting and submission workflows.

  • Develop agents for policy analysis and insurance document processing.

  • Own systems end-to-end, contributing across a broad range of technical work.

What We're Looking For

  • Zero to five years of software engineering experience, including recent graduates.

  • Strong software engineering fundamentals, including systems design, clean code, and debugging.

  • Hands-on experience building production LLM, AI agent, or voice AI systems, ideally including evaluation frameworks.

  • Experience with Python or TypeScript, and familiarity with LangGraph, AWS, browser-use agents, or autonomous agent frameworks.

  • Ability to build end-to-end systems in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.

  • A CS or engineering degree and experience in a technical engineering role at a technology company or as a founding engineer.

  • Background in insurtech, fintech, or healthcare technology, or contributions to AI/ML open-source projects, is beneficial.
