## 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), 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 AI Engineer to join our agent team and shape both our product and how we build agents.

## WHY JOIN US

- Outsized ambition: We're out to build the definitive AI company for insurance - and we're moving faster than anyone in the space.
- 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 big pieces of the product from day one - ideal if you want to start your own company one day.

## WHAT YOU’LL DO

- Set up end-to-end evals to measure and improve agent performance.
- Experiment with new agentic techniques - multi-agent systems, reasoning-from-feedback, and more.
- Build lightweight tools, servers, and orchestration layers (e.g. MCP servers) that let agents run reliably in production.
- Stay on top of emerging research on LLMs/agents and bring ideas into production experiments.

## REPRESENTATIVE PROJECTS

- Eval harnesses that measure and lift agent accuracy on real insurance work
- Orchestration and tools (e.g. MCP servers) that keep agents reliable in production
- Multi-agent systems and reasoning-from-feedback loops
- Long-running agents that read documents, pull from connected systems, and take actions end to end

## WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

- Amazing ability to speak with LLMs - Occam's razor in prompting
- Strong experience with Python
- 8+ years of software engineering experience, including at least 3 years building in AI/ML.
- Clear communicator - both in person and in writing.
- Bonus: background in B2B SaaS and 0 - 1 experience
- Above all: drive, grit, and ownership. If you excel here, other requirements are secondary

Note that this is not a model-training role - you’ll be building orchestration and reasoning systems on top of existing LLMs (think Claude-Code over Claude-Model).

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. If you thrive in environments where the pace is fast, expectations are high, and the rewards are outsized, you’ll love it here.

YOU CAN LOOK FORWARD TO THE FOLLOWING BENEFITS:

- Fully covered, best-in-class health, dental, and vision benefits
- Competitive Compensation, meaningful stock options, company 401(k)
- Unlimited PTO
- Outstanding in-office culture in the heart of San Francisco
- Lunch and dinner onsite
- Team events, such as happy hours and off-sites
- Pre-tax Commuter benefits

## About FurtherAI

- **Headquarters**: San Francisco, California, United States
- **Founded**: 2023
- **Founders**: Aman Gour (CEO) and Sashank Gondala (CTO)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Insurance Technology (InsurTech) / Artificial Intelligence
- **Target customers**: B2B — Commercial insurers, reinsurers, Managing General Agents (MGAs), and brokers

## Products & Services
- **AI Assistant for Insurance Workflows**: A domain-specific AI that automates complex document processing and integrates disjointed systems.

The AI extracts data from PDFs and SOVs, compares documents, automates workflows, and can make phone calls or send/receive messages. [furtherai.com](https://www.furtherai.com/)
- **Submissions Processing**: Automates the intake of submissions, extracting key details, running eligibility checks, and flagging inconsistencies to achieve 30x faster quote readiness. [furtherai.com](https://www.furtherai.com/)
- **Underwriting Audit**: Automates data extraction and policy reviews to cut audit time by 45% and boost compliance accuracy. [furtherai.com](https://www.furtherai.com/)
- **Policy Comparison**: AI-powered comparisons that instantly spot discrepancies and reduce manual effort, delivering up to 400% ROI within a few months. [furtherai.com](https://www.furtherai.com/)

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Total Funding of $30.55M (Series A of $25M raised ~9 months ago, plus a prior $5M round) [cbinsights.com](https://www.cbinsights.com/company/further-ai)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Y Combinator (Winter 2024 batch), Andreessen Horowitz (led the $25M Series A), Nexus Venture Partners, South Park Commons, Converge. Primary YC Partner: Tom Blomfield. [ycombinator.com](https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/furtherai)

## Competitive Advantages
- **Domain-Specific AI**: Purpose-built for commercial insurance, not a general-purpose LLM. This allows it to handle complex, industry-specific documents (ACORD forms, loss runs, SOVs) with high accuracy (95% data accuracy reported). [furtherai.com](https://www.furtherai.com/)
- **Proven ROI**: Customers report 30x faster quote readiness, 646% ROI, and 45% reduction in audit time. [furtherai.com](https://www.furtherai.com/)
- **Enterprise-Grade Security**: Client prompts and data are never used for training; completely isolated firm-specific data storage; regularly audited and tested by third-party security specialists. [furtherai.com](https://www.furtherai.com/)
- **Deep Integrations**: Triggers flows based on email or messages, and can make phone calls, creating a seamless end-to-end automation layer.

## Strategic Focus
- **Current priorities**: Scaling the AI workforce across more insurance workflows (submissions, audits, claims, policy comparisons) and expanding the customer base among top-tier insurers, MGAs, and brokers. The company is focused on replacing manual, repetitive tasks with AI to help insurance professionals focus on higher-judgment work.
- **Direction for growth**: Deepening its foothold in the commercial insurance market, which faces increasing submission volumes, tighter margins, and a shrinking underwriting workforce. FurtherAI aims to be the standard AI layer for the entire insurance industry.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture highlights**: Mission-driven focus on freeing humans from busywork. The company emphasizes "human expertise and machine speed working together with trust and precision." [furtherai.com](https://www.furtherai.com/company)
- **Remote/hybrid/office policy**: The company is based in San Francisco, CA, but offers remote roles (e.g., Sales Development Representative is listed as remote). Engineering roles may be hybrid or in-office depending on location (e.g., a Backend/Fullstack role is listed for India). [ycombinator.com](https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/furtherai)
- **Notable perks or engineering culture**: Backed by top-tier VCs (Andreessen Horowitz, Y Combinator) with a strong founding team (ex-Apple AI scientist, ex-Microsoft PM, ex-YC founder). The engineering culture is likely strong given the technical pedigree of the founders (former language modeling scientist at Apple, former Microsoft PM). The company is at an early growth stage (Series A, 36 employees), offering significant ownership and impact.
