Many junior developer jobs mean a year of fixing bugs in someone else's old code. This one puts you on a brand new product line at a Toronto insurance startup, building AI tools that take paperwork off the desks of insurance brokers.
About PolicyMe
PolicyMe is a Canadian digital insurance company founded in 2018. It sells life, critical illness, and health and dental insurance online, and says it has sold more than $10 billion in coverage to Canadians. The company is remote first, with a Toronto office that staff can use if they choose.
