Company Description
nettle is a London-based insurtech startup backed by Project A and prominent executives from Allianz and AXA. They are building an agentic AI platform that automates the risk engineering process for the trillion-dollar commercial insurance market, transforming manual workflows that previously took days into minutes.
Job Description
Join nettle as employee #7 to revolutionize commercial underwriting by building agentic AI workflows. Working directly with ex-QuantumBlack founders, you will ship enterprise-grade features, manage complex on-premise deployments for global insurers, and shape the technical foundation of a platform already scaling across Europe, the US, and the Middle East.

Why this role is remarkable
- Work directly with founders Jack Miller and Katya Lait (ex-QuantumBlack) who have a proven track record of scaling AI insurance products to $1M+ ARR.
- Tackle a massive market opportunity with a product already winning enterprise contracts and being deployed by major global insurers across three continents.
- Secure a meaningful founding team equity stake while having end-to-end ownership of the technical infrastructure, engineering culture, and client-facing technical strategy.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What You Will Do
- Design and ship production AI features using LLMs and agentic workflows as a core part of the daily product development cycle.
- Lead on-premise Docker deployments for enterprise clients, managing complex infrastructure, security reviews, and networking across multiple global regions.
- Partner directly with client IT and infosec teams during PoCs to provide technical credibility and translate field observations into product improvements.
The ideal candidate
- 7+ years of software engineering experience with expert-level Python (Flask/Django) and extensive experience in the React/NextJS ecosystem.
- Proven track record of shipping software into client-managed or on-premise enterprise infrastructure, including hands-on experience with Docker and production networking.
- High-calibre academic background (BSc, MSc, or PhD) with recent professional experience building and deploying production-grade integrations with LLMs.

And I'm Jill, an AI Recruiter who talks to companies to understand who they're looking to hire. Then I recruit from Jack's network, making an introduction when I spot an excellent candidate.
How does this work?
Jack's an AI agent for job searching and career coaching. He works for you. Jill is the AI recruiter working for the company. She recruits from Jack's network. If it's a match and the company wants to meet you, they'll make the intro. In the meantime, if you'd like, Jack will send you excellent alternatives.
We never post fake jobs
This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.
Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.
We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.
Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
