About Our Client

Our client is the platform that small-to-midsize insurance companies use to run every part of their business. Before our client showed up, they used spreadsheets and filing cabinets – wasting as much as 60% of revenue on administrative expenses. Our client is doing what Salesforce did for SMB sales teams, but they’re tapping into the over 10,000 insurance companies that waste $238 Billion dollars annually.

Digitizing these businesses is only the beginning. As their customer base grows, they are building the largest insurance dataset ever created. Using it, they can leverage machine learning to automate the claims and underwriting process entirely – redefining the insurance experience from purchase to claim payment.

About the Role

You'll build state-of-the-art technology that will redefine the $5 Trillion insurance market. And by joining our client now (as Engineer #5 or #6), you’ll make decisions that will shape the future of the company.

In this early stage, your chief responsibility will be writing code, working at all levels of the stack to deliver new features in our fast growing product. That said, your technical decisions will be laying the groundwork for future growth, and you will need to solve problems with scalability in mind. You’ll build systems from the ground up with durability in mind, and with a vision for how these systems will serve future use cases and product growth.

You will be instrumental in laying out the patterns of engineering best practice, and finding the balance between short term growth and long term technical health.

About You

You’re wildly good at Javascript (they’re all React and Node.js) and you love to learn. You’re excited to build and grow a company as the second engineer, and you have experience developing reliable, complex software. You’re highly productive but take your craft seriously.

You’re confident you can help them cross this inflection point of explosive growth and improve the quality of their codebase simultaneously. You have the humility to know that for the team to scale, you’ll need to recruit engineers who are even better than you or have the potential to be. Finally, you’re excited about their mission to solve the entire insurance process.

Why You Should Join

• You’ll work directly with the founder to define engineering priorities and execute on them
• They’re growing by 50% month-over-month

• “You’re telling me I can just click this to export a loss run? Lord above, thank you!”

• They work with special non-regulated carriers, which means they can innovate without dealing with financial regulation. Imagine if someone told you you could re-build the banking system from the ground up.
• You’ll become a better engineer. They’re SOC2 and HIPAA compliant, meaning you’ll learn to build a scalable system in a high-stakes environment.
