Who are we?
Tint is Stripe for Insurance. We empower tech platforms to sell more by embedding unique insurance and guaranteeing products that protect their end-users. We help companies such as Deel, Outdoorsy, Guesty, Neighbor, Boatsetter, and Riders Share, among others, unlock the growth of their core business and improve profitability with insurance.
Our product provides everything needed to run an insurance program, from setting underwriting rules to managing customers' policies to managing claims. All are available through a simple API and a no-code app.
We've raised $30M and are backed by world-class investors such as Y Combinator, QED, Deciens, Nyca, Plug and Play, WIN, Soma Capital, Pioneer Fund, and angels such as Vikram Pandit (former CEO Citigroup) and founders/CEOs of Oscar Health, Sun Microsystems, Zuora, Gusto, Kin, Turo, Mercury, Wepay, Ramp, amongst others.
With Tint, our customers provide protection for their end-users when something unexpected happens. They can include this coverage for free or provide it as an add-on. To date, we’ve helped millions of users get peace of mind.
What will you do?
You will join one of the Tint pods. Pods are product teams working on a specific feature of the platform. Each pod gathers engineers, designers, and product managers. They all have high autonomy to answer our customers' needs.
Your main goal is to find solutions to fulfill our customer requirements. You are the privileged interlocutor within your pod. You help figure out the easiest and most reliable way to implement a new feature on the platform and to solve its ambiguity.
With a strong technical background, you are able to reason about the design of the platform and understand the impact of its code changes. You would strive to reduce technical debt as much as possible, structuring the code in a scalable and maintainable way.
You are responsible for the technical part of your pod, including your pod's internal documentation and the engineering learning processes (retrospectives, technical discussions, etc.). You would also lead and execute all the major refactorings required to speed up your team.
You would also mentor more junior engineers. You would help them ramp up to productivity as fast as possible, either as an onboarding buddy or as a pod lead engineer.
Sharing knowledge is one of the pillars of our engineering culture. We expect you to also contribute to this knowledge. Writing internal documentation, being an onboarding buddy, driving peer programming sessions... There are plenty of ways to improve internal knowledge. But, we also expect you to share knowledge outside Tint, through blog posts, talks, open-source contributions, etc.
You don't need to be familiar with all our technical stack. Yet, we expect that you ramp up quickly on these technologies. Our stack is based on Node: we are using React, GraphQL, Express, or Terraform (to handle our AWS stack).
