About InsurGrid
The way to buy and sell insurance is broken — we're on a mission to change this. Consumers can connect their bank account to financial apps to manage their money, but can't connect their insurance account to receive a competitive quote. We're building Plaid-like technology to facilitate a modern insurance shopping experience and build developer-first infrastructure.
It all starts with the agent. The agent is the main distribution channel for the $684B P&C industry. The agent represents 93% of all P&C insurance policies issued in the United States. The agent is the plumbing behind the insurance industry and they need a platform to make buying insurance frictionless, personalized, and modern.
We’ve been moving fast since we founded InsurGrid in January 2020. Since then, we’ve built and launched the initial version of our product to 150+ customers and raised a pre-seed round led by Engineering Capital.
We are currently operating as a fully remote team due to Covid. Our ideal candidate will be in the Pacific or Mountain time zone.

As a tech lead on our team, you will establish the technical vision with the engineering team and contribute to the development of our core product infrastructure.

You will be responsible for leading a team and alignment of the technical direction, while building new products that will accelerate business growth and deliver value to customers.
You will work closely with our customers, founding team, and advisor network to have a holistic understanding of the problems we're solving and opportunities in the market. You will take these learnings to develop, prioritize, and execute against a roadmap. You will be expected lead by example, take ownership of our core product infrastructure, ship fast and consistently, iterate rapidly, and identify ongoing opportunities to deliver value to customers.
You thrive on the freedom and responsibility of working on a remote team. You are an excellent technical communicator and can come to a logical consensus on decisions. You can handle multiple projects and dynamic priorities without missing a beat. You gracefully assume the role of an educator and a learner.
