Boston, MA – January 20, 2026 – Gradient AI, a prominent enterprise software provider of artificial intelligence solutions for the insurance industry, has been recognized by leading technology recruitment platform Built In as one of the Best Places to Work in 2026. The annual awards honor employers across the U.S. who set standards for today’s workforce. Gradient AI was named in the “Best Midsize Places to Work in Boston” category, as well as the overall “Best Places to Work in Boston” list; both consider factors such as compensation, benefits, and employee-centric culture.
As group health, property & casualty and other insurance segments continue to benefit from integrated artificial intelligence solutions, Gradient AI has emerged as a top-tier provider whose platforms offer simpler, more thoroughly informed underwriting decisions. Laterally synchronized for deeper data sets, Gradient AI’s solutions have been heralded for predicting underwriting and claim risks with greater accuracy – resulting in improved loss ratios and profitability while reducing quote turnaround times and claim expenses.
The recognition from Built In is further validation of Gradient AI’s innovative business model. Testament to Gradient AI’s success is its dynamic working environment, one where team members enjoy ample opportunities for professional enrichment and advancement. Other positive job satisfaction indicators include work-life balance, remote options and stock options. Gradient AI’s categorization as a “midsize” employer also exemplifies its growth, with 2026 marking the third year of its graduation from Built In’s “Best Places to Work” list for startups and smaller organizations.
“Our position as pioneers in the AI insurance solutions landscape is only made possible by our exceptionally talented team, who are truly the heartbeat of our growing company,” said Stan Smith, Founder & CEO of Gradient AI. “While we’re certainly a tech-centric organization, ensuring that insurance policies are fair and economically viable for everyone – both insurers and the insured – requires a people-first approach. We strive to embody this mindset through a working environment that provides mentorship, invites feedback and welcomes a broad range of viewpoints.”
Now in its eighth year, Built In’s Best Places to Work program celebrates the companies shaping the future of work. In a rapidly evolving AI-first job market, recognition as a Best Place to Work helps employers stand out as trusted brands when candidates turn to tools like ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews to research where to work next.
