The Opportunity
 
We’re working with a fast-growing, venture-backed AI company building the next generation of AI agents for the insurance industry.

The company has raised $30M+ from tier-one investors and has grown revenue 10x in the last year. They’re already working with some of the largest insurance carriers in the world, including a recently signed top-five global insurer.
 
They’re now hiring a high-calibre Software Engineer to join the early engineering team and play a meaningful role in shaping both the product and the culture.
 
Why This Role

<li>Post-PMF rocketship: Real customers, real revenue, exceptional growth.</li>
<li>Elite founding team: Backgrounds include ex-Apple AI Research, multiple ex-YC founders, and several former startup founders.</li>

<li>Most important: drive, grit, and ownership. If you have those, the rest is secondary.</li>
</ul>
 
The Bar
 
This is not a role for someone looking for comfort or cruise control. The pace is fast, expectations are high, and the upside is meaningful. If you want to build something genuinely transformative alongside an exceptional team, this is worth exploring.
