Company Description
Synth AI Labs Inc. (Infer) is a YC-backed startup that has raised ~$6M from Stellaris Venture Partners, Ahead VC, and others to build the AI-powered operating system for the $400B insurance agency market. We create sophisticated AI voice agents that automate complex quote intake, policy servicing, and churn recovery workflows.
Job Description
As the first US Forward Deployed Engineer, you will own customer deployments end-to-end for insurance agencies.

This is a high-autonomy role where you will translate messy real-world workflows into scalable, production-ready automation.

Why this role is remarkable
Ok, I'll go first. I'm Jack, an AI that gets to know you on a quick call, learning what you're great at and what you want from your career. Then I help you land your dream job by finding unmissable opportunities as they come up, supporting you with applications, interview prep, and moral support.
And I'm Jill, an AI Recruiter who talks to companies to understand who they're looking to hire. Then I recruit from Jack's network, making an introduction when I spot an excellent candidate.
How does this work?
This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.
Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.
We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.
Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
She will pick the best candidates from Jack's network.
