Pathwork
AI Engineer
Location: San Francisco or New York City
About Pathwork Pathwork is redesigning life & health insurance jobs for the AI age. We believe the 2.5M professionals in the $1T life and health insurance industry don’t need better tools; they need a new operating system.
We’ve already proven it:
40+ top brokerages and national carriers use Pathwork
Active pilots with multiple top-10 insurance companies
150%+ QoQ growth, every quarter since launch
Built from day one as AI-native, Pathwork uses agentic orchestration, structured data pipelines, predictive models, and generative AI to transform insurance distribution—bringing speed, structure, and intelligence to outdated workflows.
Why Join Us
Category-defining product
already in use by national brokerages and insurers
$3.75M in funding
from top VCs
Deep founder experience : Work closely with experienced founders who’ve built and scaled companies from zero to IPO in insurance and AI
Scenic, focused, intentional : Work from the Presidio in SF or our Domino Park office in Brooklyn—spaces built for walking meetings, deep work, and ambitious thinking.
Early team, deep ownership, real impact : You’ll shape the systems, the stack, and the trajectory of the product.
High-trust & Long-term oriented : Grow with a team that values trust, authenticity, learning, and lasting impact. Your contributions will help shape our product, culture, and the long‑term legacy of the company.
Our Stack Python · TypeScript · Node.js · FastAPI · Postgres · Qdrant · LangGraph · Whisper · AWS (Lambda, EC2, ECS, S3) · Terraform · React · Next.js
About the Role We’re hiring an AI engineer, a full‑stack, strategic builder who can take a large project from a working prototype to an industry‑defining product. You’ll lead development of our agentic AI systems, owning model orchestration, retrieval, real‑time inference, evaluation, and production infrastructure, and collaborating closely with the founding team on product and technical strategy.
What You’ll Own
Build the engine:
Design and own end‑to‑end agentic systems—retrieval, orchestration, inference, eval, and feedback loops
Scale the stack:
Shape our architecture across model interfaces, data pipelines, vector DBs, and streaming infrastructure
Ship fast:
Partner with product and design to prototype, test, and launch AI‑driven features that deliver real value
Improve performance:
Continuously optimize accuracy, latency, and robustness through fine‑tuning, eval frameworks, and data iteration
Learn from the field:
Join sales and customer calls to understand real‑world pain points, pressure‑test features, and translate feedback into product improvements
Support growth:
Build infrastructure and tools that help the whole company move faster—debugging, observability, agent testing
Build your team:
Hire, mentor, and collaborate with engineers who care about craft, velocity, and real‑world impact
You Might Be a Fit If You…
Have 5–10 years of experience
building AI or ML‑powered systems, ideally in high‑growth or early‑stage environments
Have shipped real products
that use LLMs, retrieval, orchestration, or streaming inference—not just prototypes
Think full‑stack, end‑to‑end : You’re comfortable moving between modeling, infra, and product‑facing code
Have an entrepreneurial mindset
and thrive on building from scratch—systems, processes, tools, and the team
Can explain complex ideas clearly,
especially to non‑technical teammates, customers, and stakeholders
Thrive in ambiguity
and take ownership in fast‑paced, high‑trust environments
Bonus: Experience with vertical software businesses or agentic AI systems
What You’ll Get
Competitive comp + meaningful equity
Employee‑centric benefits including:
High 401(k) match and FSA program
Modern, employer‑paid health benefits designed to support you on your terms
Generous PTO policy with clear guidelines so you can take real time off without the guilt or guesswork of “unlimited” PTO
Real ownership, autonomy, and direct collaboration with the founders
A chance to define a category and shape a product from scratch
A hybrid culture anchored in SF and NYC—4 days a week in our Presidio HQ or our Williamsburg office on Domino Park—where you'll work side‑by‑side with the founding team, shape our rituals, and help create the moments and memories that define our company.
