The distribution system failed them: too slow, too opaque, too confusing.\nOver 90% of commercial insurance is still human-led. We’re building the inverse: 90%+ AI-led, pushing toward the higher 90s. Not by patching legacy workflows—by building AI that makes humans more effective, improves the customer experience, and eliminates friction at every step.\nWe’re adding ~1,000 customers per month. We’ve grown 100x since last year. We’re looking to do even more this year—and that’s why we’re hiring.\nSomewhere in that transition, there’s leverage hiding everywhere—inefficiencies the right engineer could eliminate with the right solution built in the right week.\nThe Thesis Turning judgment into compute isn’t a one-time project. It’s a constant hunt for leverage. New models drop monthly. What was impossible in January is table stakes by June. Someone needs to be on the frontier—figuring out what’s newly possible and applying it before anyone else does. That’s this role.\nThe Role You’re a technical generalist who views engineering as a tool for solving business problems—not the end goal itself. You embed with operations: sales, customer service, underwriting, carrier relations. You see where things break. You identify the 20% of problems that cause 80% of friction. Then you build the solution.\nPrototype Monday, ship Tuesday, measure Wednesday. If it works, push to production. If not, try something else.\nWhat You’ll Do Find leverage — Sit with teams, discover what nobody’s automated because nobody knew it could be\n\nBuild solutions fast — AI agents, automations, internal tools—prototype in days, ship in weeks\n\nStay on the frontier — New model drops?
