Our culture runs on four values: customer love, inspire excellence, always be curious, and act like an owner. That means no ego, no politics, and real ownership over your work. If you want to build something that matters for an industry that's ready for change, we'd love to talk. You'll lead a team solving genuinely hard, high-stakes problems — the systems you own sit between carriers, agencies, and regulators, and getting them right has real compliance consequences and large impacts to their business bottom line. You'll have a direct line to Product and leadership, autonomy over how your team works, and the chance to shape the identity and compliance architecture that the rest of the platform is built on.
