As a Founding Engineer, you’ll split your time between deploying AI agents with clients and developing the core platform. You’ll work directly with users to understand their day-to-day processes, decide what to build and see each deployment through to launch. You’ll work closely with the founders and use what you learn on‑site to shape the product.

• Own client deployments end to end, acting as the main point of contact from initial discovery through to rollout and iteration.
• Build AI agents, data models and user interfaces for commercial insurance workflows.
• Turn common client requirements into core platform features and make future deployments quicker to deliver.
• Work with clients to plan how the platform can support more teams and workflows across their organisation.

Experience

• 2 - 3 years of full-time software engineering experience, ideally as a founder, founding engineer or forward‑deployed engineer, with hands‑on full-stack development at a high‑growth startup.
• Experience taking a product or feature from an initial idea through to launch, with clear ownership of what you built.
• Experience working directly with clients to define requirements and improve the product based on their feedback.
• A STEM degree from a leading university.
• Experience with Python, React, AWS and SQL would be beneficial.
