Snapsheet is a mobile enterprise startup that is disrupting the outdated auto insurance claims settlements process and turning a $120B market on it's head.
Our Challenge:
We work in an industry that is widely outdated and underserved when it comes to technology. We're building that missing technology and pumped about it. So don't go chasing waterfalls, come work with an exciting team building the next gen technology for the insurance industry. We are building a team, apply today, tell your talented friends,and help to start something big!
Who Are We:
We are more than just an app, we are a platform for getting your car repaired quickly. Our technology has helped drastically reduce the time it takes insurance companies to settle claims. We have API driven iPhone and Android apps, along with consumer and partner facing websites. We select the technology based on what makes sense for the app (we have apps in ruby/rails, python, backbonejs, etc). We consistently practice Agile methodologies and Test Driven Development, which results in high-quality, reliable and more maintainable code. We encourage developers to hack on other technologies and products outside of the day-to-day features, which in turn makes the team and product better.
