Job description

At mea, our mission is to make customers’ lives easier by delivering insurance specific technology that just works. We’re building an intelligent operating layer for the insurance industry—combining a domain-specific language model (dsLM) with an insurance knowledge graph to automate workflows end-to-end and deliver operational impact from day one.

Founded in 2021 and bootstrapped to 4 straight years of profitability, mea raised $50 million from SEP in February 2026 and now serves clients across 21 countries. We are a fully remote global team of over 100 insurance veterans and technologists, spanning the UK, US, India, continental Europe, and the Middle East. With the future for innovation in insurance looking more positive than it ever has before, you will be joining us at a moment in time where what we build now will define the next era of insurance operations.
