Hugo Insurance
Our technology creates affordable on-demand car insurance for America's 50 million lower-income drivers
Mandatory car insurance is unaffordable for 50 million drivers. Our technology directly solves this problem and creates a product with incredible economics for everyone - us, our partners, and our members.
Our team mixes insurance expertise (Merrill Lynch), growth expertise (Clutter) and incredible, mature engineers (id Software, Hothead games) - alongside major insurance partners (Safe Auto).
We're backed by Founders Fund, Canaan, and Max Levchin.
We believe in small teams of mature, energetic, considerate engineers that are well compensated and not distracted by regular meetings. As a result, we get things done faster than just about any other insurance technology company.
Two week cycles, using GitHub for version control and ZenHub for process. We use a low-touch agile formulation, with a short daily standup and no other regular meetings
Creating a system that allows highly differentiated geographic contracts to scale Asynchronous, scalable messaging systems
Build a native app that boots our PWA but gives it access to 3-axis telemetry, location, and contacts
Enhance out existing administrative / CX tooling to pull multi-platform communications (sms, intercom, email) into a single interface with chat pre-fill, recommendations, and validation
Enhance our acquisition funnel so that required input screens can be dynamically re-ordered to assess the highest converting funnel based on customer characteristics
Hugo is high impact, high stakes engineering. We're relentlessly focused on the customer and their community - some of the most vulnerable households in America. This desire to make a difference drives us and inspires a sense of ownership. We also can't afford to make mistakes - when we go down, people get arrested. That means that we value considerate, sustainable engineering over crunch and crash.
Mandatory two-week minimum vacation. We're output-oriented.
