Leverage our in-house autonomous tools to manage all development flow, from setting up our development environment to creating git branches and deploying services to production
Collaborate closely with the Product team, in a self-sufficient squad to achieve the squad’s OKRs

Lemonade designs and underwrites personal insurance products, including renters, homeowners, car, pet, and term life, using a digital-first approach powered by AI and behavioral economics. Its platform quotes, underwrites, and processes claims with automated tools and chatbots, often delivering quotes in minutes and paying some claims in seconds, while the company acts as the licensed insurer and takes a fixed fee to cover operations and profits. What sets Lemonade apart is its Giveback program, which donates unclaimed premiums to charitable causes chosen by policyholders, aligning the company’s interests with customers and reducing incentives to deny claims. The goal is to provide affordable, transparent insurance with a strong customer experience and social impact, leveraging technology to streamline buying and claims while expanding across the US and select European markets.
