Full job description

Who we are:

Cooper is an AI coworker for the insurance industry. Getting a business insured involves mountains of paperwork: filling out repetitive forms, re-typing the same information into one insurance company's website after another, and comparing offers by hand. Cooper does that busywork automatically, right inside the tools people already use, so brokers and their teams can focus on advising clients instead of pushing paper. We're a small team with deep insurance roots, teaching AI to do real, trusted work in a massive, overlooked industry.

Backed by Lightspeed, General Catalyst, and Valor, Cooper AI is building from the ground up to modernize a $1T+ global insurance industry.

About the role:

We're hiring the Founding Engineering team for a new hyper-growth AI business unit. You’ll build AI agents and AI workflows that enable unique, tailored experiences for insurance use cases - so insurance professionals can move 10x faster and unlock major efficiency gains. This is a high-velocity, high-impact role that will revolutionize the $1T+ global insurance market.

About you:

  • Full stack engineering experience. You’ll be coding across the stack and are comfortable in different languages and platforms.

  • Hands-on with modern AI stacks (LLMs, VLMs, ASR / TTS, vector stores, orchestration, evals). You’re pragmatic about trade-offs across latency, cost, reliability and safety.

  • Thrive in challenging situations. You’ll map out complex customer workflows and deploy end to end custom builds.

  • Strong communication skills. You’ll partner with Product, GTM, Design and Marketing teams, as well as directly interface with end users.

  • High velocity and ownership in an ambiguous environment. We’re moving exceptionally fast in a space that hasn’t been innovated before.

Benefits:

  • Competitive salary & equity

  • Medical, dental & vision insurance

  • Monthly wellness stipend

  • 401k with company match

  • Unlimited PTO

  • Company sponsored lunch 5x per week

  • Off sites, happy hours, and team building events
