Senior Manager, Solutions (Field Engineering)

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Until now, insurance has been making billion-dollar decisions using outdated tools.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.

YOU'RE UNLIKELY TO THRIVE HERE IF

• You prefer to stay hands-on as an individual contributor rather than building leverage through coaching and team development.

• You're uncomfortable holding people accountable to clear standards or providing direct feedback when performance falls short.

• You default to process over judgment, or struggle to operate effectively in a fast-changing, high-stakes environment where the playbook is still being written.

If reading our Culture Document https://hx.wiki/ 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.
