Careers: Engineering, actuarial, and GTM at Tesora

Build the future of actuarial work.

Hiring AI-native engineers and operators who do the work of armies. You'll be in the room with chief actuaries while we ship regulated AI.

How we work.

Actuarial work is one of the hardest things to hand to a model, and that is the reason to work on it. A frontier model will build you a triangle in seconds and still miss what a chief actuary catches in a glance: that the tail factor is indefensible for this book, that the data behind two of those years is not credible, that a regulator has already rejected this argument in this state.

Nobody has systematically solved that, us included. The labs are further from it than their demos suggest, because the missing piece is not more fluency, it is judgment that survives review. Getting there is the job, and it is why this is worth a few years of your life rather than a weekend project.

Answer to a reviewer, not a demo

Anything we ship has to survive the person whose signature goes on it. That bar is higher than a convincing demo, and it is the one we build to.

Do the work before you automate it

Everyone here has either done actuarial work, sold to the people who do, or sat the exams. You cannot compress a workflow you have never suffered through.

Show where the number came from

Every value traces to the cell or page it came from. If we cannot say where a number originated, it does not ship, however good the output looks.

Wide beats narrow

A single step is easier to automate and easier to sell. We took pricing through close instead, because the hours and the errors live in the handoffs between them.

Health, dental, and vision

Full coverage. Not the kind where the fine print is the real plan.

Meaningful equity

Everyone here owns part of this. If it works, it works for you too.

Flexible PTO

Take the time you need. No accruals, no ledger, no performance around it.

New York, hybrid

We are in the room together most of the week, with room to work where you think best.
