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.

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.

Why this role is remarkable

- 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.
