Job description

About Us

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.

Why Join Us

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, Coinbase, and Uber; 4 YC founders and 6 ex-founders; grads of Stanford, Berkeley, IITs, and Cornell.
Massive market impact: Insurance is the backbone of global commerce. Our work reshapes how the industry operates.
Founder's mindset: Own a huge piece of the company and build a team from the ground up - ideal if you want to start your own thing one day.

What You'll Do

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.
Recruit, mentor, and retain a world-class team of AI engineers - and hire the team beneath you as the org grows.
Stay deeply technical. You’ll still be in the code and the architecture. You set the bar by example, not from the sidelines.
Push the frontier of what agents can do for insurance as the field moves.

Representative Projects

Model router to operate on the Pareto frontier of speed and accuracy
Infrastructure for long-running agents
A general-purpose AI assistant that reads documents, pulls from connected systems, and takes actions end to end

What We'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.
Above all: drive, grit, and ownership. If you excel here, other requirements are secondary.

At FurtherAI, we set a high bar. We're not looking for someone who just wants a job — we're looking for someone who wants to build something transformative and own a big piece of it. If you thrive where the pace is fast, expectations are high, and the rewards are outsized, you'll love it here.
