Founding Software Engineer

A well funded early stage startup is building a new AI platform that is transforming how complex insurance and underwriting decisions are made in a global multi trillion dollar market. This is one of the largest and slowest moving industries on the planet and we are rebuilding its core workflows with intelligent agents, advanced LLM systems, and real time data pipelines. Everything you ship will be used by live customers making high stakes decisions.

The team blends deep insurance and underwriting expertise with engineers who have built production AI at fast moving product companies. We have recently closed a multi million dollar round from respected European investors and already have enterprise clients using our platform in production.

We are now expanding our founding engineering team across full stack and AI. Our stack includes TypeScript with Next.js, Python, AWS, Supabase and modern tooling across retrieval and evaluation.

What we are looking for

We want a high agency engineer who is excited about applying cutting edge AI to the most complex problems in insurance. You track the latest LLM advancements, think in systems, and enjoy taking ideas from zero to production. You want ownership, pace, clarity and direct customer feedback.

In this role you will

• Build agentic workflows that extract, reason and generate high quality underwriting insights
• Design and ship LLM powered features from architecture to production
• Build and optimise retrieval pipelines, search indices and evaluation frameworks
• Develop interfaces, APIs and infrastructure for AI driven underwriting products
• Work closely with the founding team and directly with users to identify pain points and deliver real value fast

Your background

• Five plus years of engineering experience in product focused environments
• A track record of taking features or products from idea to launch
• Experience building with LLMs, including RAG, semantic search and vector stores
• Hands on with TypeScript, React, Node and Python
• Comfortable deploying to AWS, GCP or Azure
• Curious, fast, accountable and motivated by ownership

Salary £100k - £150k + stock

This is a rare opportunity to join a small founding team and build category defining AI in one of the world’s most important and least disrupted industries.
