Job description

Federato Technologies is a venture-backed high-growth company that recently closed our Series A financing with a top VC. An entirely different kind of InsurTech, Federato sells a SaaS-based solution that can be characterized as an Intelligent Underwriting Platform. Designed by spending over 1250 hours with users, it solves the core problems that plague underwriting today. Our platform aids underwriters in making better decisions, enhances their productivity, and delivers improved business outcomes, all while increasing job satisfaction with a beautiful user experience.

Our founding team has extensive experience in building, researching, and selling machine learning products and came together in search of a product that could leverage these skills for positive impact. We’ve set out to build software that works to address the generation-defining issue of economic inequality in the face of climate change. We are running head first at the $150B+ coverage gap that faces the insurance industry as increasingly frequent and severe weather events challenge the status quo in commercial underwriting.
