Senior AI Systems Architect
Why you should join us?
Join a YC-backed, profitable Series C startup with capital with 5M+ customers
Own the AI systems layer of a consumer product used by millions - LLMs, agents, and internal APIs applied to a fragmented $2T market.
Work with partners like OpenAI to integrate Jerry.ai services directly into the ChatGPT App and pioneer new model capabilities.
Flat org, ambitious goals, and a direct line to the founders and execs.
The technical challenge:
The interesting problems aren't in the prompt anymore. They're in the system around it: what the agents are allowed to do, how the pieces fit together, where the guardrails go, and what 'correct' even means when the output isn't deterministic.
We are building the first AI-powered advisor to manage all your physical assets. We started with the car in 2019, now we’re expanding into new verticals (e.g. home, motorcycle, RV, boat) and accelerating our growth.
Before off-the-shelf platforms existed, we built our own infrastructure to automate sales and service conversations. That system now handles over 70% of inbound sales and service requests: more than 50,000 chats a month, in production, at scale.
That head start gave us real leverage, and it's outgrown ad hoc ownership. We need someone who can run a fast-moving, high-volume chatbot operation day to day and has a real point of view on the next bets: voicebot, computer use, consumer AI applications.
What you'll actually do:
Decide what we build next in AI, and make the case for it. Nobody hands you a roadmap.
Partner with OpenAI to evaluate and deploy next-generation voice models and workflow automation.
Evaluate emerging AI technology (voicebot, computer use agents, and beyond), prototype what's worth building, and make the call on what we invest in next.
Design evaluation frameworks and guardrails, and make the real tradeoffs between latency, cost, and accuracy in a regulated production environment.
Set the technical bar for our chatbot systems - shape what the prompt engineering team builds next and keep the architecture sound as it scales.
Build new automations across areas like record disputes, email/callout reduction, document validation (ex. licenses, proof of insurance).
Work directly with subject matter experts to turn domain knowledge into systems that behave correctly.
Ideal experience:
5+ years in a product engineering or forward deployed engineering, ideally in an early stage startup
A track record of turning ambiguous problems into systems that actually run
Hands-on experience putting LLM-based systems into production, including the unglamorous parts: evals, regressions, latency, cost, and failure handling

About Jerry.ai
Your car and your home are your most expensive assets. And for most people, these aren't just purchases, they're the physical embodiment of the life you've worked hard to build. Yet the experience of owning them is stuck in the 90s. Every step of the journey - buying, insuring, maintaining, repairing, selling - is fragmented, complicated, and expensive.
Imagine having a trusted friend in your pocket who takes care of everything: they find you the right car or home at the right price, lock in the best insurance rate without you lifting a finger, remind you before that service appointment turns into an expensive repair or, worse, an accident, and help you sell at the best price when the time is right. That friend is Jerry.
Jerry is building the first AI agent to manage all your physical assets. We started with car insurance in 2019, became one of the top 3 brokers in the U.S., then added driving insights, diagnostics, and a repair marketplace.
We've reached 5M+ customers, raised $240M+, and have been profitable since 2024. We're now expanding into home, motorcycle, RV, and beyond.
We’re fully remote with offices in Palo Alto, New York, Chicago, and Toronto.
