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. Why Join UsRocketship 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.

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.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
