Senior Generative-AI Engineer

Tel Aviv, Israel | Tech Development | Full-time
Not your everyday company

Lemonade completely reinvented how insurance works. As a customer-centric tech company, we created an insurance experience that is smart, instant, and delightful.

At Lemonade, you’ll be working with a group of like-minded makers, who get a kick out of moving fast and delivering great products. We surround ourselves with some of the smartest, most motivated, creative people who are filled with positive energy and good karma.

Unlike most publicly traded companies, we’re nimble and efficient. We take pride in the fact that we still think and operate like a startup. We don’t care much about titles and hierarchy and instead focus on innovation, bold moves, and challenging the status quo.

We’re built as a lean, data-driven organization that relies on a common understating of objectives and goals to provide teams with autonomy and ownership. We don’t like spending our days in meetings and we skip committees altogether. At Lemonade, there’s no such thing as going over someone’s head. We have zero tolerance for bureaucracy, office politics, and lean-back personalities.

As a Public Benefit Corporation and a certified B-Corp, we deliver environmental and social impact using our products and tech. Through our Giveback program, we partner with organizations such as the ACLU, New Story, The Humane Society, Malala Fund, American Red Cross, 360.org, charity: water, and dozens of others, and have donated millions towards reforestation, education, animal rights, LGBTQ+ causes, access to water, and more.

Who we are

At Lemonade, our AI settles claims in seconds and our pricing models rewrite risk in real time. We don't just talk about AI, we ship it to millions of customers every day.

Our bots handle real claims with real money. Our engineers build products that couldn't exist before LLMs and real-time data pipelines. We're turning insurance into a fully autonomous service.

Why we're hiring

You know that feeling when you get an LLM working perfectly in a playground, then realize you need to make it handle real money, real customers, and real uptime? That's where we live.

The GenAI team builds conversational experiences that feel human and decision engines that learn on their own. If moving from prototype to production with millions flowing through it gets you buzzing, keep reading.

What you'll do

• Design, build, and own end-to-end Generative-AI services from first prompt to production rollout

• Combine retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), function calling, and agents to automate underwriting, claims, and customer support flows

• Fine-tune open-source and commercial LLMs on proprietary datasets, evaluate with both offline benchmarks and online A/B tests

• Collaborate with product, data science, and design to invent new AI-first customer experiences (and kill the bad ones fast)

• Build scalable APIs and micro-services (TypeScript/NestJS or Python/FastAPI) running in Kubernetes on AWS

• Instrument, monitor, and continuously improve model quality, latency, and cost you ship it, you own it

• Mentor fellow engineers on GenAI best practices: prompt engineering, vector search, safety & guard-rails

• Contribute to internal tooling that automates the boring stuff (CI/CD, sandbox environments, branch deploys)

What we're looking for

• 6+ years building production-grade backend or ML systems that real users depend on

• Tangible experience with LLMs prompting, fine-tuning, or deploying them behind an API (show us what you've shipped)

• Fluency in at least one backend language (TypeScript, Python) and familiarity with cloud-native infra (Docker, K8s, AWS)

• Strong grounding in algorithms, data structures, and probability CS, EE, Math, or equivalent real-world chops

• Demonstrated skill in building resilient, high-traffic, "can't-go-down" services (finance, gaming, ad-tech, etc.)

• Passion for agentic coding: chaining tools, orchestrating workflows, letting the machine do the grunt work

• Curiosity, pragmatism, and the ability to learn crazy-fast (zero bureaucracy, maximum building)

• Ability to be in our Tel-Aviv office at least 3 days a week

Bonus points

• Hands-on with vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, PGVector) or semantic search systems

• Experience implementing policy, safety, or red-teaming frameworks around GenAI

• Open-source contributions or published research in NLP / generative modeling

• Prior work with voice bots, multimodal models, or real-time streaming architectures

What's in it for you

• A seat at the table where the future of insurance and AI-first products is being written

• Zero legacy code guilt: new services, green-field models, and the freedom to choose the right tech

• Top-of-the-line gear, stocks, and a benefits package that makes insurance look good (go figure)

• A culture that trusts you to do your best work without timesheets or endless meetings
