Compensation: $170k - $250k base + equity
Location: New York City (Chelsea) - fully on-site five days/ week
We're partnering with a fast-growing NYC AI startup that's building agentic systems for complex, high-stakes insurance investigations. The team already has strong backend, document-processing, entity-resolution, and fraud-scoring systems in place and is now building its next generation of AI agents and LLM workflows.
This is a hands-on IC role for an engineer with a software background who has shipped production AI systems and wants real ownership from idea through deployment.
What You'll Do
- Build and ship production AI agents and multi-step LLM workflows.
- Develop agents that enrich claim information using permissible public sources.
- Build internal workflows to help operations review ambiguous records.
- Integrate agents with existing backend, data, and ML systems.
- Monitor production performance, investigate failures, and improve reliability.
- Work closely with the CTO, ML, backend, and operations teams.
What You'll Bring
- Strong Python and backend engineering skills.
- Experience shipping and maintaining AI agents or LLM workflows in production.
- Hands-on experience with orchestration, tool calling, APIs, and data pipelines.
- Strong ownership from ambiguous requirements through deployment and iteration.
- Product-focused mindset and comfort working in a fast-moving environment.
Why Join?
Join a small, technical team with real customer traction and established infrastructure, where you'll help build the applied AI layer from the ground up and see your work used in real operational workflows.
