Adaptional (YC S25) is hiring AI engineers

Adaptional, a YC S25 startup, is hiring founding AI engineers to modernize the insurance industry by replacing manual workflows with an AI-powered platform. Led by experienced founders with a $10m seed track record, the company is building the 'claude-code' experience for insurance teams.
Adaptional is building AI for insurance. Insurance is one of the largest industries globally, and still manages huge amounts of work with manual data entry, outsourced teams, human error-checking, and 20-year-old software. We are building a platform that delivers the claude-code experience for insurance teams.
Adaptional’s founders previously built and exited a VC-backed insurance startup and raised a $10m seed round, one of the largest insurtech seeds to date. We are working with top-10 insurance companies and are building a multi-product roadmap rapidly.
As a founding engineer you will build the company at the earliest stage, both technically and culturally. The role of an engineer is evolving from writing code to being full-stack problem solvers (and using lots of AI agents to do it), and we are looking for AI-pilled engineers with strong technical foundations who are excited by this. You’ll build the core product, work directly with our customers, and do whatever it takes to make our customers successful.
We work together in-person at an office in the Presidio, San Francisco.
What you’ll do:
- Build the core product and AI infrastructure from scratch.
- Work directly with top-tier insurance customers to solve real-world problems.
- Shape the technical and cultural foundation of the company.
Qualifications:
- Strong technical foundations and a problem-solving mindset.
- Experience or deep interest in AI, LLMs, and agentic workflows.
- Ability to work in-person in San Francisco.
Compensation:
- Competitive salary and significant founding-level equity.
