Hire Insurtech Engineers · USFor agencies, MGAs, carriers & brokers

Hire insurtech engineers who already know insurance.

You bring the workflow. We bring developers who already speak ACORD, AMS360, EZLynx, IVANS, and the difference between a Travelers submission and a Progressive one — so there’s no ramping up on your domain. Same-week delivery, flat fee, a named engineer in your Slack. For agencies, MGAs, carriers, and brokers.

Why domain knowledge wins

Hire engineers who already know insurance — not generalists you have to teach.

Most agencies that try to hire insurtech engineers end up paying a smart generalist to learn the business on the clock: what an ACORD form is, why a binder isn’t a policy, how a carrier portal differs from an API. Our developers start past all of that. The insurance fluency is the thing you’re hiring.

Zero ramp-up

They already speak insurance

ACORD 125 / 126 / 140, AMS360, EZLynx, IVANS downloads, the gap between a Travelers and a Progressive submission — your engineer knows it on day one. You skip the months a generalist burns learning what a binder is.

Proven

They’ve shipped insurance before

Every build lead has put a production AMS integration, carrier-portal automation, or ACORD pipeline into the real world. This isn’t their first policy — it’s the domain they work in every day.

Less translation

You explain it once, in your words

No glossary, no translating “endorsement,” “loss run,” or “surplus lines” for an offshore team. Describe the workflow the way you’d say it to a colleague — the engineer already has the model in their head.

Systems we ship against

We’ve shipped against the systems your agency already runs.

No replacement. No migration. No new logins for your CSRs. We engineer the layer that sits between what you already use and the carriers, raters, and document systems on the other side.

What we hear on every call

Your agency isn’t slow because of your team. It’s slow because of the gaps between your tools.

Data integrity

Your AMS is the source of truth, until it isn’t.

What we do

We engineer bidirectional bridges between AMS360, Applied Epic, or EZLynx and whatever portals, raters, and spreadsheets your team actually uses. The AMS stops drifting out of date.

Producer experience

Every carrier has a different way to submit, quote, and bind.

What we do

We wrap them in one consistent interface for your producers. Same form, same fields, same workflow, regardless of which carrier is on the other end.

Retention

Renewals come at you in waves. Your team finds out late.

What we do

A renewal radar that watches your book 60/30/14 days out, flags at-risk accounts, and routes them to a producer with the carrier comparison already pulled.

How we work

We don’t sell a product. We engineer the connecting layer your team needs.

Four steps. No statement of work, no kickoff deck, no six-week discovery. The first workflow ships before most agencies finish onboarding a new vendor.

01Day 0 · 20 minutes

Scoping call

You bring the workflow. We bring whoever on our team has shipped against it before. You leave with a "yes / no / here’s the cheaper way" — not a six-week discovery phase.

02Within 24 hours

Build lead assigned

A named engineer joins your Slack. Not a project manager, not an account exec. The person actually writing the code. You can ping them directly.

03Within the first week

First demo on real data

No mockups. No sandbox. We screen-share the thing running against this morning’s quotes, this morning’s ACORD applications, this morning’s IVANS downloads.

04Ongoing

Not project-shaped

Month to month, flat fee, cancel anytime. We monitor the automations after they ship. Carriers change portals, we catch it before you do.

Hiring vs. hiring us

A dev team, not a recruiter.

Search “hire insurtech developers” and you mostly find staffing agencies. That’s a different product. Here’s the honest comparison, so you buy the right one.

Insurtech recruiters

They find you an employee.

A 6–12 week search, a placement fee around 20–30% of salary, and then the hire is yours to manage, equip, and retain. The right call when you’re building a permanent in-house team.

Generic dev shops

They sell you a project.

Statement of work, discovery phase, change orders — and three months of your time teaching them what a binder, a loss run, and an ACORD 126 are. Insurance is where generalist estimates go to die.

This

A working engineer, this week.

A named insurtech engineer in your Slack within 24 hours, demoing on your real data within the week — already employed, managed, and covered by us. Month to month, flat fee, and the full engineering services menu behind them when the work grows.

What we build

The modules we ship for insurance teams.

Eight things we’ve built more than once. Start with one, expand as you see ROI. You pay for what’s live, not what’s scoped.

Case study

One workflow. Six months. A third of a million daily submissions.

Video · 2:45Trucker Path Insurance
Client

Trucker Path (Moatable)

Challenge

North America’s largest trucker community wanted insurance distribution built into the app. The carrier integrations, the producer workflow, the FNOL flow — none of it existed yet.

What we built

A carrier-side submission pipeline, an in-app quote-and-bind flow, and an FNOL intake that routes claims to the right desk in seconds. Plus the AMS bridge that keeps the back office honest.

Outcome

450,000+ submissions a day flowing through systems we engineered. One named build lead. Same fixed monthly fee since month one.

What clients actually say

Agencies. MGAs. Carriers. One enthusiastic engineering team.

It is like having an in-house fractional head of engineering and a fully functional dedicated team.

Want to see this engineering in your hands? We ship some of the same FMCSA, NHTSA and Secretary of State plumbing as free tools, no signup: autofill ACORD forms from a USDOT number, decode a commercial truck or trailer VIN, run a multi-state Secretary of State business lookup, or check a carrier’s authority and insurance.

FAQ

The questions agency owners and insurance teams actually ask.

Different from a dev shop, different from a SaaS, different from the “automation guy.” Here’s how.

Book a 20-min call

Yes — that’s the entire model. Every engineer we put on your account has already shipped insurance software: AMS integrations, carrier-portal automations, ACORD and IVANS pipelines. They speak ACORD, AMS360, EZLynx, and carrier workflows on day one, so you’re not paying a generalist to spend three months learning what a binder is.

Days, not quarters. Book a 20-minute scoping call and, within 24 hours, a named build lead — not a recruiter, not a project manager — joins your Slack. You typically see a working demo against your real data inside the first week. No job posting, no interview loop, no 90-day ramp.

Start with one named engineer on a flat monthly fee and expand only as you see ROI. It works like hiring a senior insurtech developer who already knows your stack — except you can scale up, scale down, or pause month to month, and you never pay for a bench.

Dev shops sell projects. We sell a relationship.

A typical dev shop spends three weeks writing a statement of work and another six weeks rediscovering everything you already told them. We assign a named engineer who already understands ACORD, AMS360, and carrier portals on day one. You send a Loom on Monday, we ship by Friday. No change orders, no “out of scope.”

No. Bring the spreadsheet, the Monday-morning ritual, the three browser tabs your CSRs flip between. Twenty minutes on a call is enough to find the 3–5 highest-leverage workflows worth automating. If we can’t see one, we’ll tell you on the call and not three weeks into discovery.

You do. Always. Code lives in your Git, credentials in your vault, automations in your stack. If we part ways, you keep everything we built and a 1-hour handover call with whoever is taking over. We’re reachable for 30 days after that.

Month to month, flat fee, cancel anytime. $2,499 or $4,499 per month depending on volume. No setup fees, no per-automation pricing, no surprise usage charges. Pause for a month if July is slow. The whole point is that we’re replacing a hire, not selling you a SaaS.

Yes — this is how most of our larger engagements work. Your team focuses on the product roadmap; ours fills in the AMS bridges, carrier portal automations, IVANS pipelines, and the integration glue nobody wants to staff full-time. We code-review with your engineers and hand off whatever you want to bring in-house.

Senior enough to be the only engineer on the project. Every build lead has shipped against at least one production AMS integration and knows the difference between an ACORD 125 and an ACORD 140. No interns, no offshore hand-offs at 9pm, no project manager translating between you and the person actually writing the code.

We catch it before you do. Every portal automation has health checks; when something breaks — and it will, because carriers redesign every quarter — we’re on it the same day. That’s included in the flat fee. You don’t pay extra for keeping the lights on.

Depends what you’re buying. A recruiter runs a 6–12 week search, charges a placement fee around 20–30% of salary, and hands you an employee to manage — the right move for permanent in-house headcount.

We’re the other product: insurtech developers who are already employed, managed, and productive, working in your Slack within 24 hours on a flat monthly fee. No search, no onboarding ramp, no bench risk, cancel anytime.

The engagement starts at exactly that size: one named engineer. The difference from a freelancer is what’s behind them — code review, monitoring, coverage when they’re out, and teammates who’ve shipped against the AMS or carrier you’ll hit next. You get freelancer-shaped flexibility without the single-point-of-failure problem.

The domain itself: ACORD forms (125/126/130/140), AL3 and IVANS downloads, the AMS360 / Applied Epic / EZLynx data models, carrier portal realities, and the compliance instincts — audit trails, E&O sensitivity — that insurance software demands.

Stack-wise it’s modern and boring on purpose: TypeScript, Python, cloud infrastructure, and AI where it earns its seat rather than where it demos well.

Twenty minutes on Zoom. No deck. You share screens and walk us through one workflow. We tell you whether it’s a fit, what we’d build, and what it’d cost. If the answer is “we’re not the right team for this,” we’ll tell you who is. No follow-up sequence, no sales pitch.

The next 20 minutes

Bring the workflow we should be engineering.

Twenty minutes. We share screens, you show us the system we should be building against, we tell you whether this is a fit and what it’d cost. If the answer is no, we’ll tell you who can.
