Job description

San Francisco, CA · On-site · Full-time Compensation: $150,000–$225,000 + competitive equity

About the Company

Our client is rebuilding the foundation of the world's largest industry — insurance — as an AI-native claims operator that automates the entire claims process from intake and fraud detection through settlement, combining automation with human expertise to improve loss ratios, cut manual work, and deliver better outcomes across the claims lifecycle. In under a year the team reached multi-seven-figure ARR, growing 50% month over month, and is backed across two rounds by Tier 1 funds.

Founded 2025 · 11–50 people · Industry: FinTech / Insurtech (applied AI)

The Role

Deploy multi-modal, agentic AI systems into production for senior insurance stakeholders, owning client deployments end to end from scoping through go-live as the primary point of contact — and shaping the product based on what works in production.

Tech stack: Python, APIs, cloud platforms, modern AI/ML tooling, LLMs, agentic AI, AI-assisted dev tools.

Requirements
  • 2+ years of technical plus client-facing ownership (via agent engineering, forward-deployed engineering, growth engineering, or founding-engineer/founder experience)
  • Python, APIs, cloud, modern AI/ML tooling
  • LLM, prompt engineering, and agentic-AI fluency
  • AI-assisted dev workflows daily
  • A founder-mode operator
  • On-site in SF
Nice to Haves
  • Prior Forward Deployed Engineer at a top AI or enterprise platform company — the highest-signal background
  • A backend engineer who pivoted to a solutions-engineering role (backend depth first, then client-facing)
  • A founding-engineer or founder background
  • Strong communication under pressure with senior executives paying seven figures
  • ICPC, NeurIPS, or comparable competitive technical pedigree
Why Join
  • Top-quartile comp: top-quartile salary and equity, plus full relocation support, all meals covered, and productivity tools provided
  • Shape the company and the industry: redefine claims for the world's largest industry from the ground up
  • More than a deploy role: more technical and product-owning than the average FDE — you shape what the product becomes
  • Build a new function: work directly with the CTO on a forward-deployed function still being built
Details
  • Location — San Francisco, CA
  • Work policy — On-site
  • Compensation — $150,000–$225,000 + competitive equity
  • Visa sponsorship — Available (H-1B)
  • Employment type — Full-time
