Job Summary

About us:

is a Series C YC-backed tech startup with 5M customers and $240M in funding. Founded in 2017 product launched in 2019 and achieved profitability in 2024.

Our purpose:

Your car home and motorcycle arent just purchases theyre the physical embodiment of the life youve worked hard to build. Yet the experience of owning them is stuck in the 90s. Every step of the journey buying insuring maintaining repairing selling is fragmented complicated and expensive.

Imagine having a trusted friend in your pocket who takes care of everything: they find you the right car or home at the right price lock in the best insurance rate without you lifting a finger remind you before that service appointment turns into an expensive repair and help you sell at the best price when the time is right. That friend is Jerry.

About this program:

Our next chapter is about accelerating growth going from 5M to 50M customers by 2030.

This year alone we launched 5 new products home insurance property tax motorcycle insurance car repair shop bids and roadside assistance. Each of these new businesses comes with its own operational complexity distinct user personas and painpoints and its own path to scale.

A successful graduate will likely go on to become a product leader growth leader or run a function here or elsewhere. If youre looking for an opportunity to greatly accelerate your career trajectory wed love to hear from you.
