AIUC builds standards and insurance for frontier AI. Our mission is to Underwrite superintelligence. We exist because risk, not capability, is becoming the binding constraint on AI being useful. History offers lessons for how to build confidence in new technology; electricity burned down houses until insurers funded Underwriters Laboratories (UL) to certify products against their standards. Today, the UL mark is a trustmark on every light bulb in America. We’re building that for AI.
AIUC-1, our standard for agent security, serves frontier builders like Cursor, Lovable, ElevenLabs, and Harvey. We've raised $55m from Ribbit, First Harmonic and Nat Friedman to audit frontier AI. Our team comes from METR, Anthropic, McKinsey, and OpenAI. Come join us.
We are launching the Office of the Founders - a small group of high-agency generalists who will work directly with the company’s founding team to tackle the company’s biggest opportunities.
AIUC is growing quickly, and there's a lot of important, cross-cutting work that doesn’t necessarily have a clear home in the company. Examples include leading development of the standard, managing onboarding of new AIUC-1 consortium members, building relationships with strategic partners, writing thought-leadership & content and hiring world-class talent.
In this role, you will have:
High impact, with 100% of your time spent on execution AIUC’s top priorities
Deep exposure to the business and the chance to build trusted working relationships fast, with real mentorship from the founders and senior commercial team members
Room to grow and rotate internally into a specialized path when the time is right (typically 6-12 months, assessed jointly by the employee and founders)
This is a unicorn role - we are looking for killer operators and previous founders who thrives in high-paced environments. We think you can be a bit if this is you:
Extremely high ownership, and comfortable owning projects end-to-end; from idea, to execution, to completion
A first-principles thinker; you pattern match, analyze problems and use data to inform decisions, optimize processes, and track performance
Excellent communicator who can influence stakeholders at all levels of the organization and build trust across teams
Are passionate about building from the ground up, with a strong bias toward action and intensity
You are comfortable with ambiguity – you enjoy wearing multiple hats, take on new and ambiguous challenges for the company, trust that your day-to-day priorities will evolve alongside business needs, and are excited about the opportunity to co-design your own role along the way
You have roughly 1-5 years of work experience (the role and initial priorities will be scoped with this in mind), potentially having worked in management consulting, finance, law, at frontier labs, or founded something of your own
We are in the business of building trust. We take our values seriously and treat them as commitments to each other, held to the same bar as the ones we make to customers.
• Strong back: high standards, keep our promises, work hard.
• Fast feet: experiment, cut scope, take delight in pace.
• Eyes up: wrestle with the mission, and let where AI is heading shape our strategy, our teams and our day-to-day work.
• Open heart: say the scary thing, create connection, make room for emotions.
