About the Role

~1 min read

As a Senior Software Engineer on our AI Platform team, you'll build and enhance the platform every Kinetic AI agent runs on. We are building agents across the insurance lifecycle, from broker submissions to underwriting to claims. You'll own the orchestration layer, tools, evaluation infrastructure, and guardrails behind every agent. With that platform in place, we can release an agent safely, measure whether it improved a real business result, and quickly undo a change that doesn't work.

This is a hands-on, senior individual contributor role. You'll write production code every day, set technical direction for agent infrastructure, and partner with our product and platform development teams as they build on this AI platform. You'll report to our Tech Lead - Data & AI.
