About this role

Join a seed-stage, YC-backed insurtech startup as a founding engineer to build AI-powered claims automation agents. You'll own core platform components end-to-end—from eval pipelines and model reliability to document parsing and agent infrastructure—on a small, high-velocity team where your decisions directly shape the product.

What you'll do

  • Own end-to-end platform components including evaluation pipelines, model reliability systems, document parsing, and agent execution infrastructure
  • Design and ship an evaluation platform that detects regressions before customers encounter them, with per-run evals and automated regression detection
  • Build reliability systems including retries, circuit breakers, failover mechanisms, observability, and canary deployments
  • Collaborate with forward-deployed engineers to rapidly spec, build, and ship customer-driven solutions
  • Shape developer platform tooling, CI/CD workflows, and coding agent integrations to increase team velocity

What they're looking for

  • TypeScript
  • SQL
  • AWS (production experience)
  • PostgreSQL
  • Docker
  • REST API design
  • Vector databases
  • System architecture

Benefits

  • Equity participation at founding-engineer level
  • On-site in Los Angeles, San Francisco, or New York (no remote work)
  • High-ownership role with direct product impact
  • Work on cutting-edge AI agent infrastructure
  • Small, high-velocity team environment
