Compensation: The annual salary range for this position is $150,000 - $250,000 based on level in addition to equity & benefits ### **About Us** At FurtherAI, we’re building the next generation of AI agents for the insurance industry - a trillion-dollar market ready for transformation. We’ve raised a **$5M seed round** from top investors (YC, Nexus, South Park Commons, Converge) and have grown **10x in revenue this year alone.** Our customers include some of the largest names in insurance (we recently closed a top 5 insurance company in the world), and our team combines deep AI expertise with proven company-building experience. Now, we’re looking for an exceptional **Software Engineer** to join our early team and help shape both our product and culture. ### **Why Join Us** * **Rocketship Growth**: Post-PMF, with revenue growing at an exceptional pace. * **Elite Team**: Founding team includes **ex-Apple AI Research, 4 ex-YC founders, and 6 ex-founders**. Engineers have prior experience at Apple, Microsoft, Google, and Amazon. * **Technical Depth**: Work alongside a **staff research scientist** and a team of 7 engineers solving cutting-edge problems in AI and scalable backend systems. * **Massive Market Impact**: Insurance is the backbone of global commerce - our work reshapes how this industry operates. * **Founder’s Mindset**: Perfect fit if you want to own big pieces of the product and possibly start your own company in the future. ### **What You’ll Do** * Build and scale the **core product**, ensuring performance, reliability, and continuous improvement. * Own significant portions of the backend stack in **Python**. * Collaborate directly with founders to set the technical direction. * Operate with extreme ownership in a **fast-paced, high-output environment**. * Work in-person from our San Francisco office (5 day week) ### **What We’re Looking For** * 5+ years building products. * Strong experience with **backend systems (Python preferred)**. * 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 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.
