This is a senior role for someone who’s not afraid of ambiguity, gets energy from building things that don’t exist yet, and wants to work on meaningful problems with a small, fast-moving team.

You’ll also collaborate with the founders (CEO & CTO) to help define the company’s technical direction.

Responsibilities

• Natural Language Processing & Understanding: Build and fine-tune NLP systems to extract structured data and insights from dense, jargon-heavy insurance documents.

• Lead the development and fine-tuning of large language models tailored to our domain.

• Architect training workflows that use user feedback and corrections to continually improve model performance.

• Apply computer vision to extract data from PDFs, scanned documents, and other unstructured formats.

• Build intelligent agents that interact with complex web interfaces using tools like Playwright or Selenium, and a strong understanding of DOM structures.

• Design robust evaluation pipelines and performance metrics for all models.

• Help architect scalable systems to support training, inference, and feedback pipelines.

• You’ll be building core systems from scratch.

Qualifications

• 6+ years with Python development experience
