Role Details

Location: San Francisco, CA. This role is based out of our San Francisco HQ and is not eligible for full-time remote work.

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 more than $30M from top investors (Andreesen Horowitz, 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.

Now, we’re looking for an exceptional Forward Deployed Engineer to join our early team and help shape both our product and culture.

Why Join Us

• Rocketship 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.

• Founder’s Mindset: Perfect fit if you want to own big pieces of the product and possibly start your own company in the future.

What You’ll Do

• Build enterprise-grade AI agents from the ground up

• ⁠Work closely with our CTO, Sashank, who brings experience from building speech and language models at Apple’s AI/ML org

• Talk to customers, understand their flows, and translate those into robust agentic solutions

• Implement cutting-edge AI capabilities in production

• Work in-person from our San Francisco office (5 day week)

What We’re Looking For

• 2+ years of consumer facing engineering experience.

• Strong experience with backend systems (Python).

• Clear communicator - both in person and in writing.

• 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. If you thrive in environments where the pace is fast, expectations are high, and the rewards are outsized, you’ll love it here.

You can look forward to the following benefits:

• Fully covered, best-in-class health, dental, and vision benefits

• Competitive Compensation, meaningful stock options, company 401(k)

• Unlimited PTO

• Outstanding in-office culture in the heart of San Francisco

• Lunch and dinner onsite

• Team events, such as happy hours and off-sites

• Pre-tax Commuter benefits
