Head of Engineering at XILO

XILO, a fast-growing Vertical AI company recently backed by a Series A financing round, is searching for an experienced and driven Head of Engineering to lead our engineering team and propel our platform and AI products into the future.


About XILO

Founded in 2019 by two best friends, Jon and Eli, XILO set out to revolutionize the insurance industry by solving its biggest challenges. Eli, a brokerage owner, brought invaluable industry expertise, while Jon, an experienced software engineer, saw an opportunity to innovate using technology. Initially launched as a vertical SaaS solution addressing core quoting challenges, XILO has since evolved into a trailblazing Vertical AI company leveraging the latest AI technology to transform the industry. By layering cutting-edge AI solutions onto its SaaS platform, XILO is driving innovation far beyond its original vision. Having recently closed our Series A funding round, XILO is growing rapidly and seeking talented individuals who want to do career-defining work in a mission-driven startup that’s at the forefront of AI innovation.


About the Role

As the Head of Engineering at XILO, you’ll be the cornerstone of our engineering strategy, responsible for driving architectural excellence, scaling our systems, and advancing our AI capabilities. You’ll lead and grow a dynamic team of engineers, ensuring the XILO platform remains innovative, secure, and scalable. This is an opportunity to directly shape the future of AI in the insurance industry while maintaining a hands-on approach to coding and development.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Design and manage the architecture for a multi-product SaaS platform.
  • Oversee database design to ensure scalability and support across all services.
  • Lead SOC 2 audits and implement GDPR and HIPAA compliance measures.
  • Recruit, manage, and mentor a team of 20+ engineers, both domestic and offshore.
  • Enhance performance of AI models, including LLMs and OCR capabilities.
  • Maintain engineering efficiency at scale using DORA metrics.


What We’re Looking For:

  • Passionate coder who still loves writing code daily.
  • Skilled mentor capable of developing junior engineers into mid-level and mid-level engineers into senior engineers.
  • Exceptional multitasker, capable of managing a wide range of priorities simultaneously.
  • Focused on engineering excellence, not product management.
  • Engages directly with customers on multiple calls per month.
  • Builds strong relationships with Product Management and Design teams.
  • Collaborative team player with no ego and a mindset of continuous improvement.
  • Relentless work ethic: doesn’t stop until the job is done and done right.
  • Genuine relationship builder who motivates and uplifts the team.
  • Player-coach mentality, balancing leadership with hands-on contributions.
  • Passionate about AI and its transformative potential.


Why Join XILO?

Lead the engineering vision of a fast-growing startup redefining the insurance industry with cutting-edge AI. At XILO, you’ll have the opportunity to grow an exceptional team, tackle challenging engineering problems, and create career-defining work in a collaborative and mission-driven environment.


At XILO, we don’t stop until the job is done. If you’re ready to take ownership, embrace challenges, and make a meaningful impact, we’d love to hear from you.


Apply only if you’re ready to invest in your success and build a lasting career.
