About The Position

Gyde is reimagining the insurance brokerage industry by building the first AI-native insurance brokerage platform.

The company's mission is to redefine how millions of people access and understand their healthcare coverage by building systems that convert unstructured data, human conversations, and fragmented processes into intelligence. They are looking for individuals excited to build AI systems that improve healthcare access, design production-grade voice, chat, and predictive models for a regulated domain, launch technologies that augment human judgment, and help reinvent an entire industry. The founding team has experience from prominent companies like Oscar, Stripe, Vista Equity Partners, and Bain & Company. Gyde has secured $60M in financing led by Lightspeed, with participation from Optum Ventures, Crystal Venture Partners, Virtue, MVP Ventures, and multiple endowment funds.
