Overview

The $3T commercial insurance market runs on email threads and spreadsheets. We're building the AI agent layer that fixes this: submission intake, data extraction, insurer outreach and quote comparison. Brokers cover more ground without ripping out their existing systems.

The product is live with brokers using it daily at several of the top 10 global brokers (over $150B combined market cap). Backed by Creandum, Kleiner Perkins and Vicus Ventures, as well as former executives at the world’s largest brokers and frontier AI labs.

The role

Brokers at the largest firms in the world still do most of their work in email and spreadsheets. We’re looking for people who want to own how our agents change that. You’ll talk with brokers, build what their process needs, get it into production, and then scale it so the agents get better for every other broker we work with.

The work comes in two modes. Sometimes you sit with a broker, learn how their process runs, and build the tool around it. Sometimes you work on the core platform: reliability, security, and the agents themselves, including the evals and data that turn every bad run into a better agent.

You'll work directly with the founders, watch brokers use what you build, and see your work shape how hundreds of billions of pounds of insurance gets placed.

This is probably for you if

  • You've built real things and shipped them. The language or stack doesn't matter

  • You can go from a vague brief to something in production without much steer

  • You've owned something in an early-stage or resource-constrained place, ideally taking it from zero to one and then scaling it

  • You have views on the right way to build things, and you'll argue for them

  • You can explain a complex system quickly and clearly, you like teaching, and you make the people around you faster

  • You want to own part of how our agents get better: the data model, agent behaviour and evals

You don't need insurance knowledge. We'll teach you that.

What we offer

  • Pay and equity: £80,000 to £150,000 base plus meaningful equity. Founder-level impact should carry founder-level upside.

  • A founding seat: you're one of the first people here, and your scope grows as the company does.

  • Mentorship: the founders care a lot about coaching. Worst case, you learn more than you ever have. We win together and push each other to do more.

  • Location and visa: London, fully in-office. We can sponsor Skilled Worker visas and help with relocation.
