Goodcover (YC S17) Is Hiring Engineers (FP) to Rebuild Insurance

Goodcover is building the next generation of insurance focused on clearer pricing, better coverage and returning unused money back to our customers. We set out to do this because the insurance industry’s incentives are wrong, no one should profit on someone else’s misfortune. Our aim is to be the fairest home/condo/renter’s insurance company for the 21st Century. We are looking for the first non founder engineer to join the team and not only help build the necessary functions for a new insurance company, but to also get creative with how we accomplish that.

We believe in a diverse and inclusive workplace, and we encourage all people to come join our team and bring their unique perspective to help make us stronger.

Local candidates in San Francisco/Bay Area preferred.
