Software Engineer, AI

Who We Are :

At Sixfold, we're revolutionizing the insurance industry with groundbreaking AI that handles complex analysis while empowering underwriters to focus on strategic decision-making. Our AI engine doesn't just process data – it's the first of its kind to crack the code on insurance's most challenging problems, from instant risk assessment to loss pattern recognition. We've solved the notorious "front-door problem" that's plagued carriers for decades, giving them the power to instantly evaluate, prioritize submissions, and capture the best opportunities.

Why We’re Excited About This Space :

Insurance isn't just another industry – it's the backbone that protects everything from your local coffee shop to billion-dollar shipping fleets, and we're revolutionizing it with AI. Our team brings together battle-tested founders and operators who've scaled both insurtech innovations and enterprise solutions, and we're united by one mission : transforming how risk is evaluated.

That means you have an unprecedented opportunity to shape underwriting in a $7 trillion industry while doing the most important work of your career.

Who You Are :

  • A smart self-starter : You have a bias for action. You orient yourself around solutions and outcomes and don’t wait for others to tell you what to do. But you also understand how to build alignment and conviction for a decision that can’t be taken back easily.
  • A force multiplier : You look for ways to magnify your impact and your team’s. When you find a productivity hack, you share it with your teammates and build a tool to make it easier. You document knowledge for the benefit of future teammates. And you lean into AI and automation to improve your productivity.
  • An empathetic communicator : You communicate nuanced ideas clearly, whether you're explaining technical decisions in writing or brainstorming in real time. In disagreements, you engage thoughtfully with other perspectives and compromise when needed.
  • A learner : You thrive on learning new things. You can name your favorite sources of what’s new in tech and AI, and you’re excited to tell us about your latest hack or discovery.

What You’ll Do :

As a software engineer at Sixfold, you will :

  • Build and deliver quality software. You will write, test, and deploy code across our AI pipeline using Python and a variety of generative AI and other machine learning tools & techniques. You'll work with large language models, fine-tune prompts, design evaluation metrics, and implement responsible AI practices. You’ll work on team-level projects, applying engineering best practices and contributing to the team’s technical decision-making.
  • Grow as a full-stack developer. You'll have opportunities to build features end-to-end by expanding your skills with Ruby on Rails and React TypeScript. You'll collaborate with our product engineers to understand our tech stack and how AI capabilities integrate with our web app and APIs.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional partners. Our teams include product managers, designers, and engineers working together to accomplish shared goals. You will collaborate with these partners, beginning with problem discovery through solution design and delivery. We work in two-week cycles and release to production at least once a week.
  • Own your software through its entire lifecycle. In addition to shipping code, you will assess our most pressing product and engineering problems, identify and design solutions, write technical specs, and scope and break down projects. You will also spend approximately one week per quarter on call, serving as the first line of defense against service outages and critical bugs. If you don’t have experience with all of this yet, don’t worry - we’ll teach you!
  • Qualifications :

  • You have 3+ years of professional software engineering experience .
  • You are familiar with Python and FastAPI and know their patterns well enough to build features and APIs without significant learning time. Extra credit if you have experience with Pydantic, Notebooks, or Streamlit.
  • You have experience building Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems using vector databases (e.g., Weaviate, Pinecone, FAISS, or pgvector) and large language models (LLMs). You understand embedding generation, chunking strategies, and retrieval optimization to improve response accuracy and performance. Extra credit if you have experience fine-tuning or orchestrating LLM workflows.
  • You want to work in an early-stage, fast-growth tech company . You are comfortable with ambiguity and change. You can own problems and proactively devise solutions, not just wait for somebody to feed you tasks to execute.
  • You love communication, collaboration, and execution . You value meaningful commit messages and pull request descriptions and prefer to merge your PRs within a day or two. You appreciate healthy engineering debates but know how to make pragmatic decisions. You take feedback well and are candid with the feedback you give.
  • Additional Information :

  • Expected full-time salary range between $100,000 to $195,000 + equity + benefits.
  • Advertised and actual salary ranges may differ by geographic area, work experience, education, and / or skill level.
  • Our Commitment :

    We foster an environment that welcomes professionals with a diversity of backgrounds and ideas. We value passionate professionals who bring creativity, determination, and a commitment to our mission. At Sixfold, every team member plays a crucial role, with opportunities to make meaningful and visible contributions to our success.

    We believe in empowering our employees through continuous growth, learning, and a proactive problem-solving approach. Our comprehensive compensation package includes competitive salaries, equity opportunities, and robust benefits, all within a supportive and inclusive workplace culture. If you're driven to make a significant impact alongside exceptional colleagues, we want to hear from you.

    We are committed to accessibility and provide reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals with disabilities and disabled veterans throughout our recruitment process.If you have any difficulty using our online system and you need accommodation due to a disability, please reach out to us directly at (646) 847-8824.
