Backed by the co-founders of PayPal (Max Levchin and Peter Thiel), Y Combinator, Ribbit Capital, and Carl Pascarella (former CEO of Visa). We are building the next generation of B2B financial services with better tech and without the restrictions of legacy technology.
Our Stack is Elixir, Erlang, Postgres, Kubernetes, React, Redux, GraphQL -> We love functional programming.
What we bring
- At Brex we take input from everyone. Engineering included. Your voice will be heard. - We’d rather have one strong, well-compensated engineer instead of having five stressed, underpaid engineers. - Small, accountable and autonomous teams of amazing people, eager to learn, teach and constantly improve our way of working. - We believe that great individual contributors generate as much (or more!) value as engineering managers, and we compensate them accordingly.
What you bring
- Exceptional technical background. - Strong sense of ownership and accountability for what you’re building. What you build today will be the foundation for dozens of other systems in the future. - Frankness on discussing technical matters. If you disagree with how things are being done, we encourage you to speak up. You can attack an idea without attacking the person behind it. - Passion for code. We love people that take pride in and love programming, especially if they’ve done so since a very young age.
(Newly grads, contact us anyway. We love training you guys.)

Don't get afraid because our website is in German because we hire English speakers for technical roles.
We have a true "engineering over management" culture. Our CTO, worked with Erich Gamma at IBM (Gang of Four) and our team of 20 developers consists of great people both from a technical and "social" perspective.
What we do:
- Tailored web apps with heavy number crunching on the server - e.g., we build the software analyzing all the weather data in Switzerland. We do custom engineering work like platforms that power Swiss cities.
- We are finishing building a SaaS product for Yoga studios in Zurich that can be adjusted to other local businesses with a few clicks, meaning that you can adjust it for the needs of hairdressers also without having to code. This is a pretty greenfield project.
People say our interview process is awesome:
1) Phone screen with our CTO
2) Two sessions of remote pair-programming with our engineers (no Google-like algorithmic questions but reasonable coding tasks).
(If you survived until here, you almost have an offer.)
3) Onsite half a day with us. We pay your stay in Zurich and travel expenses.

Root is an auto insurance carrier, like GEICO and Progressive. We use data science to identify and insure good drivers, reducing insurance premiums for good drivers significantly as a result.
We're a startup — we're 85 people who have been working on this since March 2015. We've built an iOS and Android app that gathers data on how well people drive. We use that to set insurance prices. To build the best possible product and user experience, we went through the arduous process of starting an insurance carrier from scratch.
We're focused on becoming a national insurance carrier and are now live in 12 states.
We just raised a $51M Series C and we're looking to bring on more talented engineers.
Tech stack involves Ruby / Rails and Javascript / React Native.
Email us at [email protected] to apply and we'll respond to you promptly.
