Shepherd (Series B) | ONSITE | San Francisco, CA

At Shepherd, we're pursuing the most ambitious technical vision in commercial insurance: fully autonomous underwriting. Shepherd is an AI-native commercial insurance platform transforming how high-hazard industries get covered.

The infrastructure behind the AI boom (data centers, semiconductor fabs, renewable energy assets) has to be built and insured, but traditional carriers weren't built for this speed. We built Shepherd to solve that.

We announced our $42M Series B earlier this year! That brings our total funding to over $60M — led by Intact Private Capital, the investment arm of one of the largest insurers in the world. Intact is not only our lead investor but also a carrier partner, a testament to the confidence the incumbent industry has in what we're building.

We’re looking for product-minded, high ownership engineers to join our team! The Engineering team is HQ’d in SF, but we’re growing in NYC now too!

We’re hiring for 4 Senior SWEs, 1 MLE and 1 AI PM in SF, and 2 Staff SWEs in NYC. Engineers own projects end-to-end so full stack ability is expected.

Check out our open roles here: https://shepherdinsurance.com/careers

Our stack includes: Typescript, React, Next.js, GraphQL w/ Apollo, Node.js, Postgres & Redis

– If you have experience building AI agents or multi-step reasoning systems, we’d love to hear from you.

* In the form, be sure to mention that you heard about this opportunity via Hacker News.

Your $42M raise + doubling from 20 to 40 engineers is exactly when module ownership gaps create delivery lag — especially in a TypeScript/GraphQL stack where async insurance workflow pipelines need isolated ownership. We're HiQByte, an architecture-first engineering agency that augments engineering teams on specific modules without onboarding drag. If you're evaluating contracted engineering alongside FTE hiring, worth 15 minutes.
