Location: New York, NY
Job Type: Full-Time
About WithCoverage:
We protect the companies building the future—100's of brands like GoPuff, Eight Sleep, Bombas, Chomps, and Blank Street Coffee—so they can move fast without compromise.
Instead of a stale brokerage model, we've built a new category: world-class risk advisors powered by proprietary technology. From next-generation defense contractors and advanced manufacturers to iconic consumer brands and hospitality leaders, we partner with ambitious businesses to give them the confidence to scale.
Founded by JD Ross (co-founder of Opendoor) and Max Brenner (Compound, Bain), WithCoverage is disrupting a trillion-dollar industry from the inside out. We grew 10x last year while staying cash-flow positive, with backing from 8VC, Crystal Venture Partners, and other top investors.
We're also the only brokerage that has built its own Agency Management System from scratch, giving us full control of our operations and a platform to automate more and more of the business with AI. It's the foundation for transforming how risk is managed across the economy.
Why Join Us:
As an Engineer on the WithCoverage team, you will do more than just write code. You'll own projects end-to-end – from scoping ideas to building, testing, and refining them with real users.
What You'll Do:
In addition to cash compensation, WithCoverage offers full-time employees a comprehensive Total Rewards package that includes equity grants.
