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 10x 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 Staff Product Engineer to build the products that make agentic AI something insurance professionals rely on every day. ## 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 - Build the product surface for AI agents that do real insurance work - the tools people use to create, run, and supervise agents, and the experiences they trust to act on the results. - Ship across the whole surface: agent authoring, a chat assistant that reads documents and takes actions, human-in-the-loop supervision, and multimodal experiences across documents, voice, and the web. - Own features end to end, idea to shipped, across the stack (React/TypeScript front end, Python back end). - Set the quality and taste bar, and mentor. ## REPRESENTATIVE PROJECTS - The Universal Assistant - one assistant on top of everything a company runs on. It reads their documents, pulls from the systems they already use, reasons across all of it, and takes the action - so work that used to bounce between five tools and three people just gets done. You'd build the interface and the intelligence that make that feel effortless, and trustworthy enough to rely on. - Agents that run for hours, not seconds - long-running, human-in-the-loop agents that wait on an email, make a phone call, and know exactly when to hand control back to a person. You'd design what it even means to supervise an agent mid-flight. - Multimodal by default - agents that work across documents, voice, and the web, in one product. Building product experiences that stay coherent whether the input is a PDF, a phone call, or a live website. ## WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - 8+ years building production full-stack software - you've shipped real customer-facing surface, fast. - Excellent full-stack: modern front end (React/TypeScript) and back end (Python), with strong product/UX judgment and taste. - Comfortable turning ambiguous ideas into shipped features. - Clear communicator - in person and in writing. - Bonus: built LLM/agent features in production; B2B SaaS; 0→1 / early-stage experience. - 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. If you thrive where the pace is fast, expectations are high, and the rewards are outsized, you'll love it here. ## BENEFITS - Fully covered, best-in-class health, dental, and vision - 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 - happy hours and off-sites - Pre-tax commuter benefits ## About FurtherAI ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: FurtherAI builds a domain-specific AI workforce that automates complex insurance workflows like submission intake, policy comparisons, and underwriting audits. - **Entity Type**: Private (Series A) - **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 - **Mission or purpose statement**: "We build AI that works with people — it reads, reasons, and gets things done.

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. ## Sources 1. [furtherai.com](https://www.furtherai.com/) 2.
