Ask HN: Who is hiring? (September 2018)

Root | Columbus, OH | Full-time | Onsite | $80k-$150k |https://root.engineering/

Root is an auto insurance carrier, like GEICO and Progressive. We use data science to identify and insure good drivers, reducing insurance premiums for good drivers significantly as a result.

We're a startup — we're 150 people who have been working on this since March 2015. We've built an iOS and Android app that gathers data on how well people drive. We use that to set insurance prices. To build the best possible product and user experience, we went through the arduous process of starting an insurance carrier from scratch.

We're focused on becoming a national insurance carrier and are now live in 20 states.

We've raised $178M in VC and we're looking for more talented engineers to join us.

Tech stack involves Ruby / Rails and Javascript / React Native.

Email us at chris.evans@joinroot.com to apply and we'll respond to you promptly.

Our platform connects motorists and dealers and gives car buyers the easiest way to get their new cars home on their drive.

The mission is to make the system the best in field and stay ahead of the market, maximising technologies to achieve the best possible performance that will help support our business growth.
