Founding Engineer

Job Description

We're assisting a well funded startup in the insuretech space with their search for founding engineers. Their product automates repetitive claims operations so adjusters can resolve claims faster with less manual work. The role will work onsite in their NYC office and they're hiring multiple engineers in this capacity.

### **What you'll own**

The agent execution platform, the core harness powering every agent at Avallon: turn handling, tool orchestration, session lifecycle. You own provider routing, multi-provider failover, cost optimization, latency-aware model selection. You build the eval platform that catches regressions before customers do: per-run evals, canary deployments, automated regression detection. And you own the developer platform that unlocks team velocity with coding agent workflows, internal tooling and CI/CD.

### **How they build**

A forward-deployed engineer sits with a customer on Monday, surfaces a pain, and hands it off to you. By Friday, you've specced the solution, assigned a coding agent to build it, reviewed the output, and shipped it. They design systems, write technical specs, and orchestrate AI agents to execute.

### **You**

* Comfortable in a founding role as you shape the platform and the product direction.

* High agency, full ownership. You're the driver, not a contributor.

* TypeScript, SQL, 4 years building production software.

* Built reliability infrastructure with retries, circuit breakers, graceful degradation and observability.

* Regulated or security-sensitive environment experience. Every action needs a trail.

* Based in NYC or willing to re-locate.
