The AI platform for commercial insurance underwriting, claims and policy operations. 95% data accuracy, 30x faster quotes, live at 5 of the top 10 carriers. Backed by Y Combinator and a16z.
About the role
Own and grow the AI org. Lead our AI team today and scale it into three teams - AI infrastructure (routing & reliability), Agent intelligence (evals, shared tools, multimodal pipelines), and Agentic products (the customer-facing AI assistant, long running agentic workflows). Set technical direction for how we build agents that hold up in real production, on real customer money.
What they're looking for
- Proven experience leading AI/ML engineering teams building production LLM/agent systems — you've managed engineers and shipped, not just advised
- Deep, hands-on understanding of agentic architectures — tool use, planning, multi-agent orchestration, evals, reliability
- Strong technical bar — still fluent in the code, can dive deep and evaluate experiment design rigorously
- Track record building and scaling teams — recruiting strong people and growing leaders under you
- Clear communicator, in person and in writing
- Bonus: B2B SaaS and working at a early stage growth startup

At FurtherAI, we're building the AI agents that run insurance - a trillion-dollar industry still powered by manual work. By combining frontier agentic AI with deep domain expertise, we're reshaping how the industry's most critical work gets done.
We've raised more than $30M from top investors (Andreessen Horowitz, YC, Nexus, South Park Commons, Converge), grown more than XY00% in the last 12 months, and work with some of the largest names in insurance - top 10 carriers/brokers, F100 & public companies
We are a deeply technical company. Both founders are engineers and engineers have an outsized say on product direction.
Now, we're looking for an exceptional engineering leader to own our AI organization - the agents, infrastructure, and products at the core of everything we build.
Outsized ambition: We're out to build the definitive AI company for insurance - a trillion-dollar industry - and we're moving faster than anyone in the space.
Own the AI org: Lead our AI team and grow it into the engine of the company - hiring the leaders under you as we scale post-Series A.
Elite team: Founders and engineers from the best companies and schools in the world - ex-Apple AI Research, Brex,...
