Hugo is working to make financial stability achievable for every American. We're starting with car insurance. 30 million Americans drive uninsured each year - risking major fines, car impoundment, license suspension, and in some places, even jail. Our flagship product is Hugo, the world's first pay as you drive liability insurance. Hugo eliminates large upfront premiums and fees, and instead offers insurance in affordable daily bundles, so drivers can purchase what they need when they need it. Drivers can even pause coverage to save money.
About the role
You’re an encyclopedia of best practices when it comes to building ledger / flow of funds / payment / balance infrastructure. You’re as excited to write code as you are to whiteboard architecture and bring the team up to speed on core financial technology nuances. This is your chance to take your experience and reshape an ancient industry so that it works for - not against - its customers. You’ll have a direct hand in everything the engineering team does, using everything you’ve learned to build a best in class, on-demand insurance engine from the ground up.

What will you do?

- Build a first-of-its-kind, interactive car insurance product that varies across all 50 states
- Identify and implement engineering principles which will create a scalable, resilient product for all our customers - if our services go down, our customers face major legal penalties
- Strike a balance between speed and sustainability, building for today and for the future
- Evolve our architecture by importing emerging best practices
- Design, develop, and deploy fault-tolerant FinTech pipelines for quoting and accounting
