## Description

As a Founding Engineer at Ancep, you will balance core platform engineering with client deployment (~50/50 split). You will work directly with commercial insurance brokers to scope workflows, deploy customized AI agents, and translate front-line customer feedback back into core product infrastructure.

WHAT YOU WILL OWN

0-to-1 Product Development: Design, build, and ship user-facing capabilities, data models, and workflow applications on Ancep's enterprise platform.

Forward-Deployed Engineering: Own client deployments end-to-end-acting as the key technical partner to broker teams to define scope and deliver custom workflows.

Core Platform Generalization: Turn bespoke deployment patterns into reusable, scalable platform components, continually reducing implementation friction for new accounts.

Client Interaction & Feedback: Engage directly with operational end-users to understand complex insurance workflows and rapidly iterate on product features.
