About the role
- We are early - a small team, real experts, real production usage, real customers, and a lot of unanswered technical questions.
- We are betting on a specific approach to AI in a regulated domain, and we are not going to lay it all out in this posting - we'd rather it stay our edge until you're across the table from us.
Responsibilities
- Design tool contracts, capability boundaries, and approval gates for an agent doing real insurance work under human judgment - then carry your change through review, deploy, and production ownership.
- Build on a durable-execution backbone. Our workflows run with pinned worker versioning and a replay-compatibility gate in CI; a crashed worker has to resume mid-workflow without losing state. You'll extend that substrate and understand it deeply.
- You'll maintain and grow that machinery, along with LLM tracing and token/cost observability.
- Work with AI, on AI. This team builds with frontier coding agents as daily instruments, and our specs are written to be read by humans and coding agents alike. You'll do both: use the tools hard, and build the system that makes an AI coworker trustworthy.
- Frontier models are instruments you play daily - in how you build (coding agents, multi-model workflows, letting an agent draft while you direct) and in what you build (planners, classifiers, tool-calling systems).
- Vouch believes in putting our people first, and building a diverse team is at the front of everything we do.
- You ship in small, traceable increments, week after week; teammates can find the ticket from your branch name and the reasoning in your design doc.
- Clear written communication about tradeoffs; here, decisions live in documents and threads.
- Building and consuming MCP servers.
Requirements
- Hands-on experience with LLM agent systems - tool-calling patterns, MCP, the Anthropic SDK, or equivalents - running in front of real users.
- Experience with durable-execution engines in production.
- You are AI-native and inventive:
- You come at problems with approaches nobody asked for, and you are willing to be wrong out loud in service of moving the work.
