About Parsewise
Software
Parsewise is a data platform for accelerating risk decisions. We use proprietary AI agents combined with human-in-the-loop workflows to ensure high accuracy, traceability, and completeness.
Founded in 2024 by Max Hofer and Greg Csegzi, alumni of the University of Oxford with experience at Palantir, Bain, and Amazon.
What you will do
- Onboard insurance and reinsurance customers by deploying and configuring the Parsewise platform within their specific tech stacks and workflows.
- Translate complex, real-world underwriting and claims documents into structured, decision-ready data configurations, often working side-by-side with customer SMEs.
- Cycle between commercial activities and core engineering: scope use cases, run pilots, and build new features based on direct feedback from the field.
Who this is a fit for
- Strong engineering foundation with the ability to write production-quality Python or TypeScript and integrate software directly into enterprise customer environments.
- Proven ability to navigate commercial conversations and scope technical use cases; experience in insurance or reinsurance is highly valued but secondary to quick learning.
- High-ownership mindset capable of shipping high-quality work in a fast-paced environment and earning trust with sophisticated, regulated buyers.
Why this role is remarkable
- Join as the first Forward Deployed Engineer, working directly with founders from Palantir and Bain to shape the company’s deployment strategy and product roadmap.
- Backed by elite investors including Y Combinator, General Advance, and angels from OpenAI and McKinsey, operating at the cutting edge of AI for regulated industries.
- Directly impact revenue and product market fit by solving the hardest problems in unstructured data—hallucinations, explainability, and scalability—for leading global insurers.
