At Shepherd, we're pursuing the most ambitious technical vision in commercial insurance: fully autonomous underwriting. Shepherd is an AI-native commercial insurance platform transforming how high-hazard industries get covered.
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. We built Shepherd to solve that.
We just announced our $42M Series B last week! That brings our total funding to over $60M — led by Intact Private Capital, the investment arm of one of the largest insurers in the world. Intact is not only our lead investor but also a carrier partner, a testament to the confidence the incumbent industry has in what we're building.
This year, we’re doubling our engineering team from 20 to 40. We’re looking for product-minded engineers to join us as we continue to scale! We’re looking for someone who thrives on ownership, drives results, and cares deeply about both technical excellence and customer impact.
We’re hiring various mid-level, senior-level and staff-level engineers. See some of our openings below:

We're HiQByte, an architecture-first engineering agency that augments engineering teams on specific modules without onboarding drag. If you're evaluating contracted engineering alongside FTE hiring, worth 15 minutes.
