ABOUT HYPEREXPONENTIAL (HX) At hyperexponential, we’re building the AI-powered platform that enables the world’s most critical decisions in a $7 trillion industry - which risks to take, and how to price them. These are the decisions that shape real-world outcomes: whether rockets successfully launch into space, autonomous vehicles make it to market, or communities recover after major storms. Until now, insurance has been making billion-dollar decisions using outdated tools. We’re changing that. Our platform brings together data, AI, and human expertise to give insurers the fastest path from submission to decision - helping them move faster, act smarter, and take on more risk with confidence. Backed by a16z, Highland Europe, and Battery Ventures, we’re scaling globally - already trusted by nearly 50 of the world’s largest insurers, with zero churn and billions in premiums flowing through hx. What began as a single product in one market has rapidly evolved into a multi-product, multi-territory platform powering every stage of pricing and underwriting. AI is at the core of what we do - from building the world’s first domain-specific AI peer programmer for insurance (think GitHub Copilot with a PhD in actuarial science) to shaping agentic workflows that reinvent how this industry operates. What makes hx different is the people who build it. Here, impact isn’t tied to title or tenure; it’s defined by the challenges you take on and the discipline you bring. Surrounded by peers who stretch you, you’ll do the best, hardest work of your life in a company engineered to endure. If that sounds like you, join us in building what comes next. ABOUT THE TEAM Solutions (Field Engineering) sits at the technical heart of hx’s go-to-market engine, owning the ‘Technical Win’ in every opportunity. The team operates at the intersection of product, sales, and customer success, working directly with underwriters, actuaries, IT leaders, and security teams at some of the world’s most sophisticated insurers. This is where deep technical capability, domain expertise, and commercial insight come together to solve complex problems and design solutions customers trust to run their most critical pricing and underwriting decisions. The team thrives at the edge of what’s possible — tackling the hardest integration and implementation challenges where creativity, rigour, and technical depth are essential. Every engagement is high-stakes, highly visible, and directly influences both revenue outcomes and product direction. This is a high-ownership, collaborative environment where consistency of execution matters as much as innovation. Field Engineering doesn’t just support deals — it accelerates them, de-risks them, and shapes how hx shows up in the market. This is a people-first leadership role focused on team performance, coaching, and operational excellence. You will be accountable for how effectively the Solutions Engineering team supports revenue, while partnering closely with Sales, Product, and Customer Success to ensure strong, consistent technical execution. Check out our Field Engineering Candidate Hub for a behind the scenes look at the team you would be joining!

If reading our Culture Document leaves you feeling neutral rather than energized, hx may not be the place where you'll do your best work. We're building something that asks for commitment and conviction, and we want you to feel excited by the opportunity to grow with us.

ABOUT THE TEAM Field Engineering (FENG) is the technical core of our go-to-market organisation. The team sits at the intersection of product, sales, and customer success, owning the “technical win” in each opportunity and making hx platform real for some of the most demanding insurers in the world. We work with underwriters, actuaries, IT, and security leaders to design solutions they can trust with their most critical pricing and underwriting decisions. This is a team that thrives at the edge of what’s possible for our product and our customers. We specialise in the hardest integration and implementation challenges, where deep technical understanding, domain insight, and creativity are all required. As a Solutions Architect, you’ll be one of the first hx’ers many prospects meet, shaping how they understand our platform and what it can do for their business. Solutions Architects at hx are the voice of IT, security and infrastructure - both inside hx and in front of customers. We figure out how hx Renew fits into complex, often ancient system landscapes, translating between modern cloud architectures and 1990s reality without losing sight of the bigger transformation. The culture is high-ownership, collaborative, and very visible: every engagement is high stakes, every interaction leaves a lasting impression, and your work feeds directly into both revenue outcomes and product direction. You’ll partner closely with Sales and Product Engineering, acting as a trusted advisor throughout the sales cycle and beyond, and helping customers realise the full value of hx's core product suite. Have a look at our Field Engineering Candidate Hub, for a sneak peak behind the scenes into our culture. WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING * Accelerating the Tech Win by translating prospect requirements and legacy constraints into clear, actionable integration approaches aligned to our onboarding and integration playbooks. * Run focused, high-impact technical discovery and design workshops with underwriters, actuaries, and IT stakeholders to deeply understand their workflows and shape viable solution architectures. * Act as the trusted technical voice throughout the sales cycle, guiding stakeholders through RFPs, RFIs, due diligence, and security reviews to remove friction and keep deals moving. * Design, build, and present compelling POV (Proof of Value) materials, Proofs of Concept and demos that showcase hx Renew’s integration capabilities and how we can transform customers’ pricing and underwriting processes. * Partner with Product Engineering as “Customer Zero”, testing new features in real-world scenarios, surfacing edge cases, and feeding back insights that improve product quality and relevance. * Create and maintain reusable assets – from integration libraries and reference architectures to demo environments and technical presentations – that scale the impact of the Field Engineering team across multiple deals and regions. WHAT YOU’LL NEED TO HAVE DONE * Supported with technical solution design and integration for complex B2B or enterprise software opportunities, ideally in data-heavy domains such as insurance, financial services, or adjacent regulated industries. * Run technical evaluations and POVs with multiple stakeholder groups (e.g. business, IT, security), successfully navigating RFP/RFI processes, due diligence, and technical Q&A to a clear “Tech Win”. * Designed, documented and positioned solution architectures within known patterns (e.g. APIs, event-driven integrations, identity and access management), clearly articulating assumptions, risks, and trade-offs. * Built and delivered tailored Proofs of Concept or Proof of Value that directly contributed to winning or expanding high-value accounts, ideally with measurable commercial impact. * Collaborated closely with Sales teams, using structured sales methodologies to align technical work with deal strategy, timing, and stakeholder influence. * Contributed to shared technical assets and standards – such as playbooks, reference diagrams, or demo environments – and used structured learning habits (enablement, shadowing, self-study) to quickly ramp up on new products or domains. YOU’RE UNLIKELY TO THRIVE HERE IF * You prefer to follow a fixed, prescriptive playbook rather than dealing with ambiguity, evolving requirements, and messy legacy environments. * You’re uncomfortable being highly visible – with customers, internally with senior stakeholders, and in situations where the stakes (and expectations) are high. * You see yourself purely as either “sales” or “engineering” and don’t enjoy operating in the grey space between commercial outcomes, technical depth, and product thinking. If reading our Culture Document leaves you feeling neutral rather than energised, hx may not be the place where you'll do your best work.

Hi, I'm Lucy - hx's Head of Talent. I joined hx nearly five years ago when we were 15 people. We're 250 today. Building this team has been some of the best work of my career, in large part because of the people on it - I'm learning constantly, especially as we keep tackling things that have never been done before. We're now post-Series B, and the US - NYC in particular - is one of the most important growth levers in front of us. The GTM hires we make there over the next two years will shape what hx becomes more than almost anything else we do. NYC is where the top GTM talent we need lives, and right now we don't have anyone there. So I'm hiring our Senior Talent Partner - US Lead, ideally someone deeply embedded in the NYC GTM hiring world, with the seniority and judgement to work directly with our President, COO and CPO on the hires that shape what hx becomes. One thing worth flagging early: this is a hybrid role, based in our NYC office, three days a week in person. We're a lean US team of 17, growing fast, and being in the room together is how we build, learn and move at the pace we do. We're looking for someone who's genuinely excited by that, not just willing. Sounds interesting? Read more about us below. ABOUT HYPEREXPONENTIAL (HX) At hyperexponential, we're building the AI-powered platform that enables the world's most critical decisions in a $7 trillion industry: which risks to take, and how to price them. These are decisions that shape real-world outcomes - whether rockets successfully launch into space, autonomous vehicles make it to market, or communities recover after major storms. Until now, insurance has been making billion-dollar decisions using outdated tools. We're changing that. Our platform brings together data, AI, and human expertise to give insurers the fastest path from submission to decision. We help them move faster, act smarter, and take on more risk with confidence. Backed by a16z, Highland Europe, and Battery Ventures, we're scaling globally. We are already trusted by nearly 60 of the world's largest insurers, with zero churn and billions in premiums flowing through hx. What began as a single product in one market has rapidly evolved into a multi-product, multi-territory platform powering every stage of pricing and underwriting. AI is at the core of what we do - from building the world's first domain-specific AI peer programmer for insurance (think GitHub Copilot with a PhD in actuarial science) to shaping agentic workflows that reinvent how this industry operates. ABOUT THE TALENT TEAM We're a team of six. Lean, ambitious, and aiming to operate at the frontier of what AI-leveraged hiring can look like. We're all in on AI, and we know we can't afford to get comfortable - AI is changing fast, and so must we. We're also builders. Anna is building an AI-native interview coach. Oskar is building our own candidate portal. Cait has redesigned our go-live workflow. Dan is going deep on quality of hire. We use a best-in-class stack: Ashby, Metaview, SourceWhale, plus a growing set of agentic sourcing tools - and if you're still hungry, you build your own. Something I've come to value most about this team is that the work we get to do here isn't really possible everywhere. hx is unusually and deeply invested in hiring - across the leadership team, not just inside Talent. The hiring bar is real, partnership is the operating mode, and people treat us as part of the decision rather than support around it. That's rare. A lot of what makes Talent at hx different - our rituals, our stack, our hiring philosophy - lives on our Talent hub page. Worth a read before you apply. ABOUT THE ROLE This role reports to me directly. As Senior Talent Partner, you will own and lead US hiring across our GTM and product organisations end-to-end. That spans the most senior, consequential hires - partnering directly with Richard Gunn (President), David Spitz (COO), and Noel Sequeira (Chief Product Officer), and the broader US leadership team - through to AE, strategic and enterprise sales hiring, technical sales, our founding and growing Customer Success, Partnerships and Marketing teams. It's a senior craft role with a varied portfolio. Some of these hires will be founding-team-shape moments. Others will be the AE hires that build the revenue engine in the US - every one of them moves the number meaningfully. This is also an outbound-heavy role. We're looking for someone who knows how to generate engagement and replies - someone whose craft turns cold talent into a real pipeline of conversations. With the support of our investor base (a16z and Battery among them), you'll help us build a real presence in NYC, through events, employer brand initiatives, and the quality of every conversation you have in the market. A note on geography: most of the Talent team is based in London, with Anna in Warsaw. You would be the first of the team in the US - partnering closely with the rest of us across time zones, and anchoring our US hiring presence as the function grows. We've operated this way before and it works, but it does ask for someone who's confident working autonomously, comfortable across geographies, and excited by being our first on-the-ground presence. WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING * This is a doer role. We care deeply about execution and, alongside it, the experience we create for candidates and hiring managers. Prioritisation, sense of urgency, judgement and the ability to deliver consistently in a fast-paced environment are non-negotiable. The partnering, brand-building and system-level work all sit on top of getting the daily craft right. * Own US hiring end-to-end across the GTM and product organisations - spanning the most senior, ambiguous searches (founding-team-shape hires, leadership hires) through to strategic and enterprise sales, technical sales, founding and growing Customer Success, Partnerships, and Marketing. * Operate as an AI-leveraged builder. Ship your own automations, build your own dashboards, design AI-native workflows for hiring, and raise the bar for what a modern talent function can do. * Run an outbound-heavy operation. Design the targeting, build the messaging, and run the patterns that turn cold talent into committed hxers. * Help build hx's brand in the US - partnering on events with our investor base to grow our NYC presence, contributing to employer branding initiatives, and using every candidate conversation as a way to build hx's reputation in the market. * Bring market intelligence back to the business as a regular input - what's happening at peer fintechs, where the bar is moving, what's shifting in comp and expectations across the GTM spread. WHAT YOU'LL NEED TO HAVE DONE * Owned and delivered across the GTM breadth at a high-growth SaaS, fintech or AI company - senior leadership hires alongside enterprise and strategic sellers, customer success, solutions engineers and architects. We're an insurtech, so the book also includes specialist hires like actuarial talent - a rarer but meaningful part of what makes this role interesting. * Built a real network in the US GTM space - people you've known for years, who answer your messages, who refer to you, who you can pick up the phone to. * Closed candidates with multiple competing offers - including from top-tier competitors, FAANG-equivalent comp packages, or candidates whose stated motivations didn't match their actual ones * Used Ashby, Greenhouse, or similar ATSs as a builder, not just a user - designed your own dashboards, shipped your own automations, brought data forward as the opening move in stakeholder conversations. * Operated in an AI-leveraged talent function: built workflows with AI tooling, shipped automations, and have strong, current opinions on what good looks like in this space. WHY HX You'd be the first person from our People team on the ground in the US. Talent, culture, hiring philosophy, how we show up in the market: that all gets shaped by you over time. It's a kind of scope that doesn't come up often, and almost never in a company that's already this far along. Your AI fluency will accelerate here. You'll work alongside a team that's actively building - interview coaches, candidate portals, sourcing agents, custom workflows - and you'll have the time, tooling and budget to push your own craft hard. If you're someone who learns by building, this is a rare environment to do that in. You're joining a generational business at a real inflection point. hx isn't an early-stage bet - we have nearly 60 of the world's largest insurers as customers, zero churn, billions in premium flowing through the platform, and backing from a16z, Highland Europe and Battery. At the same time, the US is wide open in front of us. You get the rare combination: a senior craft role with the freedom to build, and the strong backing of a company that's already winning. COMPENSATION Salary Range: $140,000 – $170,000 Bonus/Variable: up to 10% of base, tied to delivery against role objectives. Total OTE range: $154,000 – $187,000 Equity: We offer equity across all roles at hx, making it a significant component of total compensation.   BENEFITS * $6,000 training and conference budget * Full medical, dental, and vision package * Mental health support via Spring Health and Rula * Access to One Medical * Flexible vacation policy * Pet discount plans, retirement plan (401K), and discount programmes Additional perks * Top-spec equipment * Regular remote and in-person hackathons, lunch and learns, socials, and game nights * Team breakfasts and lunches, snacks, drinks fridge, and WeWork office space * Exceptional opportunities for personal development and growth INTERVIEW PROCESS 1.
