AI Forward Deployed Engineer

About the role

We are rebuilding health insurance for small businesses by making sure as much of every premium dollar as possible goes to care instead of getting absorbed by the system around it. Your job is to work shoulder-to-shoulder with operational teams across the company, underwriting, claims, premium finance, patient experience, broker operations, sales engineering, and more, and work directly with them to understand how decisions are made, where work slows down, and what can be automated.

What You’ll Do

• Embed within operational teams across the company, underwriting, claims, premium finance, patient experience, broker operations, sales engineering, and more, and work directly with them to understand how decisions are made, where work slows down, and what can be automated.
• Build AI underwriting agents that synthesize risk, summarize cases, and assist decision-making.
• Automate claims workflows that currently require manual review and coordination.
• Create internal copilots for support and care navigation teams.
• Design systems that extract structure and actions from messy healthcare documentation.
• Deploy retrieval, memory, and evaluation systems that improve operational reliability over time.
• Replace repetitive back-office workflows with AI-native tooling and agents.

What We’re Looking For

• You’re obsessed with customers; their success is your scoreboard.
• You don’t quit on outcomes. Mission accomplished means real, visible results, not just release notes.
• You use feedback as fuel, turning customer insights into new ideas and features overnight.
• You’ve shipped full-stack AI and LLM apps, and you know your way around Python, Postgres, and modern AI workflows.
• You handle tradeoffs: fast but safe, powerful but reliable.
• You build guardrails into everything you ship.
• You use AI-powered developer tools to move at startup speed.

Target Compensation Range

$180,000 – $250,000 + equity
