Why Join?

PolicyFly enables Insurers to sell and manage specialty insurance.

Insurance? 😴🛌🪦 — Wait, keep reading!

• Here is why we are fired up — it’s a massive industry (5%+ of US GDP) with HUGE challenges and the tech being applied is 30+ years past its expiration date.
• Insurance is fairly recession-proof – in fact when economic conditions or turmoil occurs, is precisely when people wish they had insurance.
• At its core, insurance is the vehicle that minimizes suffering and maximizes economic growth. Unfortunately, for many that require specialty insurance to protect their livelihood, it’s difficult to get.
• For example, how does someone protect their house that is being impacted by climate change? Or, how can a company protect their goods along the supply chain, allowing them to expand? This is specialty insurance — where complex or higher risks are placed.
• It can take 30-60 days to get coverage, without price transparency but with PolicyFly, an agent can place coverage on the same day.
• Our product provides immediate DEEP value for our customers, the insurers — enabling them to automate back office ops while providing a storefront for their agents.
• We’re processing a ton of data and money every day. Fun stat: we are already processing $2B in insured value every month.

🤗🐼 Why PolicyFly?

• We are a Fintech SaaS with a transaction fee business model that scales up with our customer growth.
• One of the best times to join in terms of risk/reward (post-PMF while still being pre-series A).
• 3 Founders that have been working together for 15+ years in a variety of software businesses and we are even more fired up now! This means you’re joining a mature founding team that knows how to work together. We are here to change insurance and won’t tap out early.
• The surface area of insurance is massive — tons of opportunity to take ownership and lead various products.A big long-term vision for building network effects.
• We are a distributed remote team with team members in CA, NY, NJ, VA, AZ, Canada, and the UK.
• Properly funded to weather the storms ahead and grow the team and product the right way.
• Quarterly retreats/on-sites — our last trip was in London.
• Great benefits — full health, dental, vision, 401k matching, HSA, etc.

🚀 What are we building?

• Document processing pipelines and rendering engines.
• Low-code tooling to allow end-users to rapidly build their own insurance products and rules.
• Complex calculation engines that can handle various pricing scenarios.“Google Sheets” like GUI for managing complex lists of covered items (aka schedules).
• Data pipelines to enable third-party integrations and robust reporting.
• Etc, etc.

👂What we are looking for

• Sense of humor—just because insurance seems boring, doesn’t mean we are or it is!
• Solutions-oriented — you are bold and imaginative, ready to suggest new ideas.
• Love learning — no matter your role, you will grow here. But you’ll grow 10x if you love to learn.
• Communication — as a remote company, we live and die by communication.
• Preparedness — preparation inspires confidence, and confidence earns respect.

Roles and Responsibilities

• Reports to the Engineering Manager, Core
• Perform third-party API and data integrations
• Work with the Customer Success (CS) and Solutions Engineering team to develop internal tools and automation to scale business operations

Job Description

Hunter's product team is hiring a Backend Go developer! You'll become one of the key team members responsible for moving the data side of the Hunter application forward.

We’re a bootstrapped and sustainable product-focused company. We’ve set up a great work environment for our team, focusing on autonomy and growth. We take full advantage of the fact we’re entirely remote by focusing primarily on async communication and limiting the number of video meetings. Everyone in the team participates in discussions shaping the future of the product.

We love working as a small team and don't hire frequently. So this is a rare and exciting opportunity to join the team. You'll be part of the product team alongside Bastien (head of engineering), Bernardo (Backend Go developer), Mark (Ruby on Rails developer), Chris (Designer), François, and Antoine (co-founders).

About the role

At Hunter, we've been working from the start with one Go application (managing all our data) and one Ruby on Rails application (responding to users' requests). This setup has allowed us to be highly productive while our team stays small. We believe in always finding the most elegant way to build our product, and Go has been the ideal language to crawl, parse, and organize billions of public web pages.

As part of a small group within a young company, you will work on various projects over time, but you can expect that:

• You'll work on our main Go codebase that gathers, processes, and provides all the data of hunter.io.
• Within a few weeks, you'll become responsible for significant projects that will improve Hunter by building new critical features in our existing services. Over time, you'll help expand our product line.
• You'll take part in improving a crawler that processes billions of pages per month ([](https://hunter.io/our-data)[https://hunter.io/our-data](https://hunter.io/our-data))
• You'll work with the rest of the product team to gradually increase the importance of NLP in our data pipelines.
• You'll get a high level of autonomy in your work and help shape future development efforts.
• You'll gather feedback from our Support team to find issues in our current system and improve it.

Hunter is a fully remote team, and this is a remote job. It is open to anyone located in Europe.

About you

• You have multiple years of experience working with Backend Development. Ideally, you have experience in Go. If you don’t, you should be confident in your ability to pick up this new skill quickly.
• You enjoy dealing with complex problems and finding elegant solutions.
• You're confident you can have a high level of autonomy and enjoy making decisions for yourself.
• You're excited to take ownership of projects, set directions, and make calls. You're able to communicate clearly with your colleagues.
• You have experience in remote working. You're comfortable working primarily with asynchronous communication and don't need a lot of handholding or supervision.

About us

Salespeople, marketers, and recruiters use Hunter to reach out to the people that matter for their business. We index B2B data from millions of public web pages and make it convenient to explore with simple but powerful tools.

Hunter is the most popular solution to find professional email addresses. It is used by almost 3 million people and leading companies such as Google, Adobe, Microsoft, or IBM.

Hunter was founded in 2015 and is a self-funded company. We're a team of 11 peopleworking remotely from Europe, America, and Asia. Twice a year, the team meets in a company retreat in Europe.

Learn more:

• How We Hire
• About Us

Benefits

Being part of Hunter will also get you:

• A yearly gross compensation ranging between 110k and 150k USD
• Five weeks of paid vacations per year
• Employment status (you won’t be a contractor)
• Coworking space membership
• Fully-paid setup (including a MacBook Pro, standing desk, ergonomic chair, etc.)

Job Description

We're building a unified developer experience to help software teams move faster and stay focused on achieving their goals. Over the past decades, software development has grown in importance inside organizations and with it there has been a Cambrian explosion of tooling. While each tool is great at what it does, they live in their own silos and weren’t built to work together. These silos lead to disconnected workflows, context switching, and difficulty finding information. Our vision is to build a better way to get work done. Summon brings together your tools and data into one blazingly fast, native experience. We’re just getting started and our ambition is bold: build the best platform for software teams to get their work done. We love what we do and are motivated by working on a product we love using ourselves. You would have an immediate impact as a builder to influence engineering and the direction of the product. You join as a founding engineer and have full ownership working closely with our founders and a team of super talented developers.

Who we’re looking for

We are looking for a full-time backend engineer. Our ideal candidate has 5+ years of experience building event driven microservices or service oriented architectures and has built most facets, if not all, in a "twelve-factor" app. Preference is for real experience (2+ years) in our primary language of Golang, but other languages are considered when able to quickly pick up new technologies. Additional experience in integrating with 3rd party systems, event-driven architecture, databases, and cloud services (AWS, GCP, etc) are important.

You will directly influence how and what to build, and must be comfortable collaborating on the architecture, code, product, etc as we have a strong culture of devops as well as being technically curious, thoughtful and purposeful in what we build. We value deploying frequently with well-written, maintainable, instrumented and tested code to a kubernetes cluster.

Responsibilities:

• Develop new products and features in a small team
• Collaboration with the team to solve technical problems and help shape the product direction
• Provide technical input and knowledge to the planning, design, and requirements process for new products and features
• Review other software engineers' code for correctness, style, and completeness
• Support your team's production software by responding to an occasional alert or bug report
• Write integration tests and work with our product team to ensure the operation and correctness of new features

Requirements:

• 5+ years of backend engineering in a distributed systems
• 2+ years in Golang or 5+ using several languages you were able to quickly pick up
• Strong knowledge of a variety of database systems (Graph, relational etc.)
• Experience working with 3rd party APIs and OAuth
• Comfortable with strong dev ops culture
• Strong communication skills in English and experience working as part of a remote team
• Need to be located in timezones UTC-4 through UTC-8 (The Americas)
• Excited to travel internationally for company retreats (twice a year)
• Favorite Ted Lasso quote

Why join us?

We love what we do: designing and building great products. But our work isn't the only thing that defines us. We're not trying to create some semi-cult to get people to work here. We simply enjoy working together and building useful and beautiful software for our customers. We’re a venture-backed startup and are looking for someone who is excited about the early stages of building a product and having a tangible impact on the company’s success. You would join a group of repeat founders. We have founded startups backed by top Silicon Valley VCs. While getting huge amounts of venture capital has its advantages, it also puts a company on a very narrow success path. We want to do it a little differently this time. Where raising money and growth is balanced with the goal of being default-alive and capital-efficient. Which gives us optionality and lets us build the company we want to build over the long run.
