What You'll Do- Own and grow the AI org. Lead our AI team today and scale it into three teams - AI infrastructure (routing & reliability), Agent intelligence (evals, shared tools, multimodal pipelines), and Agentic products (the customer-facing AI assistant, long running agentic workflows).
- Set technical direction for how we build agents that hold up in real production, on real customer money.
- Recruit, mentor, and retain a world-class team of AI engineers - and hire the team beneath you as the org grows.
- Stay deeply technical. You'll still be in the code and the architecture. You set the bar by example, not from the sidelines.
- Push the frontier of what agents can do for insurance as the field moves.
Representative Projects- Model router to operate on the Pareto frontier of speed and accuracy
- Infrastructure for long-running agents
- A general-purpose AI assistant that reads documents, pulls from connected systems, and takes actions end to end
What We're Looking For- Proven experience leading AI/ML engineering teams building production LLM/agent systems - you've managed engineers and shipped, not just advised.
- Deep, hands-on understanding of agentic architectures - tool use, planning, multi-agent orchestration, evals, reliability.
- Strong technical bar - still fluent in the code; can dive deep and evaluate experiment design rigorously.
- Track record building and scaling teams - recruiting strong people and growing leaders under you.
- Clear communicator, in person and in writing.
- Bonus: B2B SaaS and working at a early stage growth startup.
- 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 and own a big piece of it. If you thrive where the pace is fast, expectations are high, and the rewards are outsized, you'll love it here.
