KnowItOwl - New York, NY - full-time (http://www.knowitowl.com) We're looking for a full-stack engineer/CTO to love the hell out of this problem. You'll be the 4th member, and technical lead, of an incredibly talented team with a track record in insurance, startups, consumer marketing and design/UX. We have had a successful alpha phase and are already revenue positive. http://knowitowl.theresumator.com/apply/ Do you want to solve: A problem with scale. Insurance is a $2 trillion industry. That’s 36 times larger than Google and Facebook combined. Insurers pay their aging sales force a mint to sell insurance the old-fashioned way (with paper, face-to-face). We’re going to change this. A problem that’s socially important. Nobody’s helping people figure out insurance – and that’s bad. Under-insured medical problems contribute to over half of all personal bankruptcies and home foreclosures. We’re going to deliver social impact. A problem in desperate need of a new approach. The consumer problem in insurance is deceptively simple: insurance is hard to sell because people don’t want to think about bad things like death and illness. Insurers just throw money at the problem: advertising, hefty commissions, pushy sales agents. We’re introducing a new approach. We’re looking to build our team with people who understand the importance of what we’re doing and want to apply their talent and energy to solving a Big Problem. We’re searching for Davids ready to take on Goliath. Come join Virgil and the KnowItOwl team to bring the $2 trillion insurance industry into the 21st century.
