  • Big Data & AI Expertise: Experience with unstructured data, LLMs, and AI-driven financial or analytical applications.
  • Industry Knowledge: Prior exposure to Property & Liability (P&L), Business Owner's Policy (BOP), or insurtech is highly valued.


What You'll Get

  • Competitive Compensation: $180-200K base salary equity in a high-growth startup.
  • Impact & Ownership: Direct influence on a rapidly evolving company tackling a trillion-dollar market.
  • Top-Tier Team: Work alongside PhDs from Stanford, ex-Citadel & DE Shaw engineers, and fintech innovators.
