About the Team

We maintain the tool chain for frontend developers across Assurance. Our mission is to be a multiplier for other teams, enabling web developers across the company to write apps faster, rollout and deploy effortlessly, and create beautiful UIs in less time.
Though a lot of our work may be behind-the-scenes, it’s extremely important to our success as a company—you can’t build a nice house without a strong foundation. That means using the latest frameworks, keeping an eye on cutting-edge technologies, making great accessibility and performance the default, and always looking for opportunities to improve the developer experience and our end user’s lives.

You’ve completed multiple medium to large web projects, collaborating with different teams and measuring the business impact. You’ve made your fair share of mistakes and learned from them. You have good instincts and strong judgment, and your decisions have been tested by time over and over again. You demonstrate an exemplary level of ownership and no problem is below you.

  • Have a passion for Javascript and modern web development
  • Be able to take roughly-defined requirements and transform them into list of actionable issues that other team members can work on
  • Be excited about the opportunity to make other developer’s work easier
  • Be a user advocate—we are raising the bar for the UIs within the company and you will be expected to advocate for the end user in design decisions and help set priorities for the team that benefits end user needs.

About Assurance
Assurance offers the best online insurance shopping experience; within minutes a customer can have instantly approved life, health, auto, or home coverage. We’ve simplified the online checkout process so that customers can get covered instantly online, and we’ve also built an on-demand workforce of licensed insurance agents that can speak with customers who want to talk to an expert, 24x7. Powering all of this is a cloud-first, event-driven, service-oriented-architecture, using the latest software frameworks. We combine our web technology with data science models at every step to make intelligent decisions about how we market to customers, what policies we recommend, and which agents we match to customers. Our mission is to make insurance easier, cheaper, and higher quality, for everyone – not just the affluent. Our team is humble, driven, and committed to improving the lives of millions.

We’ve pioneered many new technologies and are proud of many world-first technical achievements. We are the only company to pay commissions to on-demand workers with a real-time payment solution, so money earned is deposited into their bank accounts instantly, every day of the year; and to pay dynamic bonus rewards generated in real-time by machine learning models during phone sales calls. We developed a voice signature technology to enable customers to conveniently sign for their insurance policy over the phone. We built a completely serverless telephony platform that uses dozens of machine learning models to automatically optimize how we place phone calls to customers and connect them with sales agents on the platform.

In September 2019, Assurance was acquired by Prudential (NYSE:PRU; $36B market cap) to further the joint mission of improving financial wellness across the world. We are at the forefront of this exciting mission and are looking for experienced software engineers who are excited about the chance to rethink the insurance industry from the ground up in a technology-first manner.
