The role

Own and scale FurtherAI's AI organization, leading the team building production LLM-powered agents that automate critical insurance workflows, and shaping the technical direction of the entire AI org.

What you'll do

• Own and grow the AI org, scaling it into three teams: AI infrastructure (routing & reliability), Agent intelligence (evals, shared tools, multimodal pipelines), and Agentic products (customer-facing AI assistant, long-running workflows)
• Set technical direction for agents that hold up in real production on real customer money, including model routing, multi-agent orchestration and reliability
• Recruit, mentor and retain a world-class team of AI engineers, hiring the leaders beneath you as the org scales post-Series A
• Stay deeply technical: still in the code and architecture, setting the bar by example
• Push the frontier of what AI agents can do for insurance
