Join our team and accelerate your career.

Life insurance is a complex and consequential purchase that impacts hundreds of millions of Americans. With our powerful and integrated digital tools, expert support, and leading insurance products, we empower advisors to better serve their clients, grow their businesses, and bring the future of the industry to life.

Join a passionate team of product-minded technologists and insurance professionals who are at the leading edge of a massive industry. Make a tangible difference in people's lives and help deliver our mission to help everyone protect what matters most through advanced technology and tailored advice.

This is a senior individual contributor role focused on product design.

  • Contribute to and improve our design system and Figma library

Your Impact:

  • Make the process of buying and selling insurance easier for advisors, our customers
  • Raise the quality and consistency of the product experience
  • Mentor contractors and teammates through thoughtful critique

About You:

  • 5+ years of experience in digital product design, ideally including time on an in-house team
  • A portfolio showing your ability to define, execute, and iterate on product solutions

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
