Job description

Who we are

For decades, insurance software has been built around rigid forms, portals and call centers that create friction for customers and drag for teams. Even as AI has advanced, most insurance work is still manual, slow and spread across disconnected systems.

We've raised $7.2M USD from Radical Ventures, a16z and several AI luminaries. We work onsite in Toronto five days a week.
