We red-team, certify, and insure agents - working with AI category leaders like ElevenLabs, Lovable, Harvey, UiPath, and Fin.\n\nSoon, agents will take on critical work in hospitals, banks and governments. This could create abundance - or go terribly wrong. History teaches us that standards and insurance are capitalism’s best tools for making risk legible and shaping incentives.\n\nWe’ve built the gold standard for agent security & reliability, AIUC-1, with 100+ CISOs from the Fortune 1000. Our team comes from Anthropic, McKinsey, METR, Palantir, Amazon - 50% are previous founders. We've raised $55m from Ribbit, First Harmonic, and Nat Friedman. Read more here, here, and here.\n\nThe Role\n\nEvery AI company that comes to us wants the same thing: proof their agent is safe enough to sell to an enterprise. Getting there means running thousands of evaluations against their live system.\n\nWe've now certified the category leaders in every major AI vertical: ElevenLabs (voice), Intercom (customer service), UiPath (workflow automation), Lovable (coding), and more we'll announce soon. No two of those systems look alike: each has its own authentication, its own interface, its own definition of what a failure even looks like. Before we can test any of it, someone has to sit with that customer, understand how their agent actually works, and get it wired into our evaluation system.\n\nWe're hiring an engineer to own that work end to end. You'll have your own set of customers within your first weeks, paired with a commercial counterpart on each one.\n\nIn this role, you will:\n\nOwn the path from signed customer to delivered results - scoping what to test, working through their authentication and interfaces, and getting their agent running in our system\n\nBuild the one-off version when a customer doesn't fit the product yet, and make it work anyway\n\nDeliver results directly to the customer and be the person they trust with the technical detail\n\nMake the call on whether a customer meets the AIUC-1 standard\n\nWork across the widest surface of any role here: our Delivery team, our core engineers, sales, the Standards team (shaping what goes into AIUC-1), and your customer's own engineering team\n\nTurn what you learn in the field into the product\n\nThat last one is why the role exists. We're building toward a product that runs evaluations end to end without an engineer in the loop. This is a high-agency role: you'll shape what we build next as much as you'll deliver what we've built.\n\nIf you're planning to start a company one day, this is a front row seat. You'll work directly with our founders, with founders at the companies we certify, and alongside a team full of ex-founders.\n\nWhat we're looking for\n\nThe job in practice looks like reading someone's API docs, chasing credentials, building integrations into customers' systems and agents. Then evaluating whether those agents behave, and owning the failure modes the evals surface. The person who thrives here has done this work before. What drives them is trust and safety.\n\nTo be successful, we think you have:\n\n3-7 years of experience, likely as an early engineer at a startup where you ended up owning customers, or in an integration, solutions, or forward deployed role selling technical products to technical buyers. (Impact matters more than years.)\n\nEnough software engineering to build and debug an integration yourself, and the judgment to know when the scrappy version is the right answer\n\nComfort owning a customer relationship directly – scoping the work, setting expectations, and delivering bad news early\n\nCustomer obsession: their problem is your problem, and you see it through\n\nThe discipline to turn what you see in the field into something reusable rather than solving the same problem twice\n\nNice to have\n\nExperience founding or co-founding a company\n\nExperience with AI evaluations or red-teaming\n\nExecutive presence with senior stakeholders\n\nCompensation & Perks\n\nCompetitive salary and meaningful equity\n\nComprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance for you and your dependents\n\nVisa sponsorship and relocation support to San Francisco, where applicable\n\nA team dedicated to doing the best work of their lives\n\nOur Values\n\nStrong Back: High standards, keep our promises, work hard\n\nFast Feet: Experiment, cut scope, take delight in pace\n\nEyes Up: Feel the AGI across our strategy, teams, and day-to-day work\n\nOpen Heart: Say the scary thing, create connection, make room for emotions\n\nCompensation Range: $200K - $400K","company":"Artificial Intelligence Underwriting Company","rawCompany":"artificial intelligence underwriting company","city":"Millbrae","state":"CA","isRemote":false,"isActive":false,"createdAt":"2026-09-14T08:55:49.391Z","occupations":[{"code":"15-1252.00","title":"Software Developers","slug":"software-developers"},{"code":"15-1299.08","title":"Computer Systems Engineers/Architects","slug":"computer-systems-engineers-architects"},{"code":"17-2199.00","title":"Engineers, All Other","slug":"engineers-all-other"}],"industries":[{"code":"541511","title":"Custom Computer Programming Services","slug":"custom-computer-programming-services"},{"code":"513210","title":"Software Publishers","slug":"software-publishers"},{"code":"541512","title":"Computer Systems Design Services","slug":"computer-systems-design-services"}],"jobPosting":{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"JobPosting","title":"Forward-Deployed Engineer","description":"About AIUC\n\nOur mission is to underwrite superintelligence.
