Full Job Description
WHAT WE DO Shepherd is an AI-native commercial insurance platform transforming how high-hazard industries get covered. Our mission is to make risk frictionless for the builders and operators shaping the physical world — protecting progress from concept through construction and into decades of operation. 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: - Complex commercial construction projects routinely wait weeks for a single quote - Legacy carriers rely on static applications and disconnected systems - Brokers chase carriers through calls, emails, and resubmissions We built Shepherd to solve that. Our AI performs the same underwriting workflows in seconds, and integrates real-time data from construction technology partners — Procore, Autodesk, OpenSpace, DroneDeploy, and others — to see risk as it actually exists, not just as it was reported on a static form. We're pursuing the most ambitious technical vision in commercial insurance: fully autonomous underwriting. We're closing in on the first fully agentic submission in the industry — email in, price out, no human intervention until the last mile. With Shepherd, safety, speed, and quality no longer trade off against one another — they compound. We're building: - Faster decisions - Smarter, more accurate pricing - Better risk outcomes for insureds who invest in safer practices We're not just modernizing insurance products. We're building the risk infrastructure for the next generation of financial services.
