Deliver a seamless experience to brokers and fleet owners from quote to claim. Instrument and understand customer journeys to iteratively improve UX and reduce friction points.
  • Build safety tools. Help prevent accidents by delivering actionable safety information through effective multi-channel touchpoints. Engage and educate customers about what’s contributing to their high premiums and how they can reduce them.

About You

  • You are an owner. You are comfortable owning large parts of our product and driving the development and roadmap.
  • You ship. You get satisfaction from getting your features into customers' hands in a short period of time. You take accountability for the end-to-end product experience of your features, warts and all.
  • You have a design sense. You care about the design, have a problem-solver mindset, and enjoy partnering with designers to bring projects to life with attention to detail.
  • You are user-focused. You put the user first with a keen sense of how your code will impact the user's experience in terms of performance, security, and usability.
