Context:

We’re working with a seed stage company that is building software for insurance underwriters. They’re using langchain that compile data for underwriters on a per policy basis and then a fine-tuned LLM to offer up conversational interface that underwriters can use to better understand the viability of a given policy.

They’re looking for a data engineer to help them build out their ETL infrastructure. They’d love to find someone who can come into their office in flatiron 3 days a week.

You’d be working alongside the CEO, the CTO, a web-focused engineer, and an ops-focused engineer. If you’re open to it, there’d be an opportunity for you to take a full time job after the first 3 months.
