We are rebuilding everything from the ground up with intelligent agents, advanced LLM systems and real time data pipelines.

Every line of code you ship will support live customers making high stakes decisions in real time.The team combines deep insurance and underwriting expertise with engineers who have built production grade AI in fast moving product companies. We recently secured a multi million pound investment from respected European funds and already have enterprise insurers using our platform in production. Momentum is real. The appetite for transformation is massive. And we are becoming the operating system for modern underwriting.

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