About us

Coalition is the world's first Active Insurance provider designed to help prevent digital risk before it strikes. Founded in 2017, Coalition combines broad insurance coverage with a digital risk assessment and continuous security monitoring to help organizations protect themselves in today’s hyper-connected world.

Opportunities to make an impact with bold thinking are real - and happening daily.

About the role

The team owns multiple backend services responsible for the questions and facts related to the insurance applications, the product catalog, automated underwriting and pricing, and the orchestration among the various backend services.  This highly collaborative team is building some of the core services used across the multiple lines of insurance offered by Coalition.

Our team’s services are written in Go.  We prefer to use the right tool for the job and make pragmatic decisions about how to scale and decouple systems as we continue to grow.

Perks
