About Chestnut

Chestnut is building the first AI-native operating system for insurance distribution by transforming how the $1T+ insurance industry allocates its largest spend : sales and distribution.

Backed by a16z, we’re replacing legacy systems with a modern, flexible platform that helps carriers automate complex workflows, optimize every distribution dollar, and unlock new growth. We have major insurers under contract, and early adopters are expanding.

This is a generational platform shift. Recent advances in agentic AI make it possible to automate what was once manual and error-prone. We’ve spent years building the data model and context layer required to make this real, and now we’re scaling with urgency.

At Chestnut, we operate with the belief that small, high-context teams working with best-in-class tools and colleagues can achieve outsized results. We embody what it means to be AI-lean : chasing 10x productivity gains that allow us to scale impact beyond our headcount.

If you’re excited to modernize the infrastructure of one of America’s most essential industries, we’d love to meet you. Whether shaping core product experiences or laying the groundwork for intelligent automation, your work will accelerate a once-in-a-generation transformation.

Engineering at Chestnut

Chestnut is a technology company at its core, building the infrastructure to power the future of AI in insurance. Realizing that vision requires both a modern, reliable foundation and the intelligence layer on top. Our engineers work across this stack, from designing data models that capture the nuance of insurance workflows, to developing APIs that support intelligent automation, to shipping user-facing product experiences and early AI copilots.

As VP of Engineering, you’ll scale and lead a team of exceptional engineers while building the systems, processes, and culture that make velocity and quality inevitable. You’ll partner closely with product, design, and founders to ensure we’re shipping impactful features fast, hiring best-of-the-best talent, and laying the foundation for long-term technical excellence.

What You’ll Do

Accelerate product velocity : Shape lightweight rituals and engineering practices that shorten cycle times and improve delivery predictability.

Own recruiting excellence : Build and refine a high-signal hiring funnel, surfacing the best-of-the-best technical talent through referrals, targeted outreach, and a world-class candidate experience.

Lead with clarity : Align engineering priorities with company goals, ensuring we invest in both new features and technical foundations.

Mentor and grow the team : Create a culture of strong ownership, continuous learning, and technical craftsmanship.

Scale processes, not bureaucracy : Design systems and frameworks that improve speed without slowing down our builders.

Drive technical alignment : Partner with product to ensure we’re shipping the right solutions, with clear architecture and reliable systems.
