About Fulcrum
Fulcrum is re-wiring the insurance-brokerage industry with AI agents that let brokerages grow revenue without adding headcount. Our platform already saves customers thousands of hours and millions of dollars every year. We’ve just closed our Series A and are looking to grow our team as we scale rapidly.
Why Fulcrum
- Rocket-ship growth. We’ve achieved multiple seven figures in ARR in just over a year, serving large enterprise clients including 25% of the top 50 brokers in the country.
- Extreme ownership. You’ll work directly with enterprise users and ship end-to-end products that save them hours every week.
- Bleeding-edge problems, real impact. Tackle tough AI and product challenges whose wins show up immediately in customer workflows.
- In-person collaboration. Join a lean, staff-level team (ex-Affirm, Uber, DoorDash, McKinsey) working side-by-side in San Francisco; we believe the best ideas are fostered in an in-person environment.
- Top-of-market rewards. Competitive base salary plus meaningful founding-team equity.
About the Role
We’re seeking a Forward Deployed Software Engineer to work directly with our customers to implement our technology and build any required customizations. In this role, you will apply your problem‑solving ability, creativity, and technical skills to be a customer’s first resource for implementing AI automations in their company. This role is critical in helping us deliver reliable, compliant, and efficient solutions to brokers and their clients.
Responsibilities
- Own the end‑to‑end implementation and execution of high‑stakes customer engagements and projects, determining customer requirements and how best to apply our AI automations to their workflows.
- Implement and build new features with customers, and integrate them into the core engineering product.
Requirements
- 2+ years of relevant, post‑college work experience in a fast‑moving environment.
- Strong coder with proven proficiency in Python and TypeScript.
- Excellence in technical documentation and cross‑team communication.
- Ability to collaborate with technical and non‑technical customers; comfortable working in a dynamic environment with evolving objectives and many iterations with customers.
- Ability to work 5 days a week from our San Francisco office (open to candidates willing to relocate).
As an early‑stage company building at the frontier of AI, we work with high intensity and commitment. While schedules can vary by role/team, many weeks will demand extra focus, flexibility, and time — particularly during major launches and high‑impact sprints. We’re seeking those who are aligned to and able to commit to that expectation, which includes 5 days per week in our San Francisco office.
