Testudo is a Lloyd's of London Coverholder building the risk infrastructure to insure the AI economy. We write generative AI liability insurance with the backing of four Lloyd's syndicates, alongside the real-time risk monitoring technology behind it, so that companies can deploy AI and agents confidently.
We are a strong team operating across New York and London. This role is in New York.
Our mission: to insure the AI economy.
About the RoleThis is not a specific opening. It is an invitation.
We are building a category that did not exist two years ago. The roles we will need eighteen months from now have not been written yet, and some of the best people we have met did not fit a posting when they found us. If you have read what we are building and can see the role you should be doing here, tell us what it is.
What to send usThe role you think you should have, in a sentence. Name it yourself.
Why that role needs to exist at Testudo specifically — not at a generic insurtech, at this company, given what we have said we are building.
The evidence. What you have built, underwritten, sold, shipped, or modeled that makes the case. Links beat adjectives.
Where you are, and whether you can be in New York five days a week.
Are drawn to problems where nobody has an answer yet. These risks are new, and people have not done this before.
Have a track record you can point to rather than describe.
Set your own work against the mission rather than waiting to be given it.
Want to be in an office with your colleagues, at pace.
Are sending the same note to fifty companies. We can tell.
Want a defined ladder, a defined scope, and a defined quarter.
Prefer remote or hybrid.
$150,000 - $250,000 base + meaningful equity, for roles at this level. If what you are proposing sits outside that, say so and tell us why.
New York. In-office, five days a week.
Relocation support available. Visa sponsorship depends on the role.
Health insurance.
We read everything that comes through here. If there is a fit now, you will hear from us quickly. If there is a fit in six months, we will tell you that rather than leaving you wondering, and we will come back to you when it opens.
