Forward Deployed 'Actuarial' Engineer

San Francisco

Tesora is building agents for actuaries, starting with our AI-native actuarial workbench for specialty P\&C carriers and MGAs. We are backed by Y Combinator and leading AI investors, and we work hands-on with carriers and MGAs to rebuild the underwriting and actuarial workflows that the industry still runs on spreadsheets. As a Forward Deployed Actuarial Engineer, you sit at the intersection of our product and our customers. You will embed with design partners, translate messy real-world actuarial problems into product, and ship the workflows that get used in production. This is a high-ownership role for someone who wants to be close to both the customer and the code. What you will do: * Work directly with actuaries and underwriters at specialty carriers to map their rating, reserving, and pricing workflows * Build and customize models, data pipelines, and product features that solve those workflows * Turn customer feedback into product direction alongside our founding team * Own deployments end to end, from first conversation to production usage What we look for: * Strong engineering fundamentals and comfort moving fast across the stack * Genuine interest in insurance, actuarial science, or quantitative modeling (actuarial exam progress is a plus, not a requirement) * Excellent communication and the confidence to be in front of customers * Bias toward ownership and shipping You will work closely with our founders and former chief actuary.
