Full Job Description

SENIOR UNDERWRITER WHO WE ARE Nirvana is on a mission to harness the power of data to revolutionize commercial insurance and enable a safer world. We are bringing much-needed innovation into the legacy, trillion-dollar commercial insurance industry. We have developed cutting-edge predictive models that use real-time IoT data from billions of connected devices, allowing us to better understand and price risk. Our AI-driven platform fundamentally changes the way an insurance company operates with personalized risk scoring, faster underwriting, modernized claims, and proactive, data-driven insights to help customers prevent accidents. We’ve already proven the scale—serving thousands of fleets and more than doubling our written premiums year over year. Our data moat is growing exponentially with more than 30 billion miles of telematics data, leading to more predictive models and new insights into how we can better understand and reduce risk. Altogether, our loss ratio, efficiency, and customer experience are redefining what can be done in the industry. With $270+ million raised, including our Series D round in December 2025, we’re only accelerating our growth, with strong support from top-tier VCs including Lightspeed, General Catalyst, and Valor. Nirvana’s leadership team has previously helped scale multi-billion-dollar companies from scratch, including Samsara, Rubrik, and Flexport, and includes industry veterans from Hiscox, The Hartford, and RLI. ABOUT THE ROLE We’re looking for a Senior Underwriter who embodies what next-generation underwriting looks like at Nirvana: less time processing files, more time making decisions, building relationships, and closing business. As our AI platform absorbs the initial exposure validation, pricing prep, and file review, you’ll step in where it matters most—making the call, leading the negotiation, and owning the broker relationship. You’ll also play an active role in making our models smarter, surfacing what the AI misses and fe
