Artificial Intelligence Underwriting Company

Our mission is to underwrite superintelligence. We eval, certify and insure AI agents. 

Capitalism’s answer to risks from new technology - be it electricity, cars, nuclear energy - has been a combination of insurance, standards and audits. We think of it as confidence infrastructure. We’re building that for AI, the most transformative technology of them all. Today, we help high-growth AI agent companies like Cognition and Ada earn the confidence of their customers. Over time, we will do the same for foundation models and data centers.

Our team has experience from Anthropic, McKinsey, METR and as Thiel Fellows. We’ve raised $15m led by Nat Friedman, Emergence & Terrain and folks like Anthropic co-founder, ex-CISOs at Google Cloud & MongoDB.

Role

You’ll be our #1 engineer, working with founders Rune, Brandon, Rajiv across everything we do. You will shape our core technical choices, our product, our company culture. Every day you’ll ship something; every day you’ll speak to a customer.

Our core technical challenge is to build the world’s most accurate evals for how AI agents fail in deployment settings (hallucinations, jailbreaks, brand disasters, data leakage, etc.), design the gold standard for what secure, safe, reliable agents looks like, and building the tooling (monitoring, filters, authorization, etc.) to help AI agent builders meet the standard.

Insurance means we have skin in the game to focus on the real-world risks. The world is rapidly deploying agents that can execute long-horizon tasks into high-stakes deployments like hospitals, banks, governments - and soon there will be more agent-to-agent interactions than human-to-human interactions. 

Our work only finishes when our customers have built systems of security, safety, reliability that means their agents meet AIUC-1, our gold standard.

What we’re looking for

We’re looking for hands-on-keyboard, high-agency people who’ve built products from scratch, been in the trenches of early-stage companies, are excited about working directly with customers to understand and solve their problems, and have an interest in product. The best fits have a good sense of what AI agents can do, how they fail, and how we might build robust, real-world evals. In addition to hard work and speed, we value open-heartedness.
