Tech Stack

About the role

  • Diagnose where the product falls short, rigorously analyze root causes, build evaluations, and ship improvements that customers feel.
  • Work directly with customers to understand the problems deeply.
  • Design and refine tool-calling patterns and agent orchestration to handle multi-step research tasks that requires reasoning across thousands of related documents.
  • Build ingestion and normalization systems for complex structured documents at scale - millions of filings where formats vary and each version builds on the last.
  • Build and iterate on reinforcement fine-tuning harnesses, including training graders for research tasks with non-verifiable reward.
  • Develop tooling to measure, profile, and optimize agent pipeline performance - latency, cost, and quality across millions of calls.
  • Run experiments end-to-end: design, analyze, and translate into clear product recommendations.

Requirements

  • 2 - 5 years of experience building software professionally, with strong programming fundamentals (we work mostly in Python).
  • Proficiency with LLM APIs, agent frameworks, and modern retrieval patterns. You stay current as the field moves. We don't need classical ML expertise - we need someone on the frontier of applied AI.
  • Strong track record of shipping high-impact work in ambiguity. You take a vague problem, define what 'good' looks like, ship a v0, and iterate.
  • Experience shipping user-facing products, either backend or full-stack.
  • Drawn to the question 'how do we know this is actually better?' - excited to build the evaluation infrastructure that answers it rigorously.
  • Curiosity over domain experience. No insurance background needed - you learn fast and care about understanding the problem space deeply.
  • Strong written and spoken English
