First Connect (FC)
is a software platform for insurance agents to enable them to work efficiently and bring the industry into the 21st century. First Connect’s flagship offering is a powerful comparative rater where FC users – the insurance agents – can enter data once and generate multiple insurance quotes to offer their customers. Future work on this tool will dramatically change the market by leveraging integrations with external data sources to make the agent’s experience smoother. We plan to integrate an ever-growing number of insurance companies through APIs to offer their insurance products. In this role, you will own this area, making FC’s rater the best in class in terms of user experience, speed, accuracy, and costs.
You will rebuild it to design the flows and also own the underlying integrations while incorporating it into our new SaaS offering. Interview our users to understand their needs, then work closely with our engineering, design, and business teams, as well as the carriers themselves, to prioritize, build, and monitor this product suite. Your question is, what's the connection between First Connect and Hippo Insurance? Let’s discuss it during our call! To give you a glimpse: First Connect has been a product developed and supported by Hippo Insurance for years, and it’s now continuing its journey in the startup world. So if you're a Mid Front-end Engineer looking to shake things up and have a good time while you're at it, you’ve come to the right place.
