About the company:

Tint is Stripe for Insurance. We make it easy for tech platforms to embed insurance into
their products. We help companies such as Outdoorsy, Guesty, Deel, Boatsetter, Riders
Share, Quantstamp, amongst others, unlock the growth of their core business and improve
profitability with insurance.

Our product encompasses everything needed to run an insurance program, from setting
underwriting rules to managing customers policies, to managing claims. All available
through a simple API and a no-code app.

We're backed by world-class investors such as Y Combinator, Deciens, Nyca, Plug and
Play, WIN, Soma Capital, Pioneer Fund, and angels such as Vikram Pandit (former CEO
Citigroup) and founders/CEOs of Oscar Health, Sun Microsystems, Zuora, Gusto, Kin,
Turo, Mercury, Wepay, Ramp, amongst others.

Using Tint, companies provide protection for their customers when something
unexpected happens. They can include this coverage for free or provide it as an add on.
To date, we’ve helped millions of users get peace of mind.

About the role:

You will join one of the Tint pods. Pods are product team working on a specific feature of
the platform. Each pod gathers engineers, designers and product managers with high
autonomy to fulfill our customer needs.
Your main goal would be to implement the pod new features into the platform, leveraging
all the engineering industry standards, from tests to appropriate design patterns. We also
expect the ideal candidate to have a good tech intelligence, allowing to improve the
platform even further by the collected insights, pushing the whole team forward.
In close cooperation with senior engineers, you should be able to align quickly on the
technical solutions, while identifying any blocker, and solving them.
Sharing knowledge is one of the pillars of our engineering culture. 
You will learn a lot from the team. Yet, we expect you to also contribute to this knowledge. Writing internal
documentation, improving the onboarding process, leading some peer programming
sessions...but, we also expect
you to share knowledge outside Tint, through blog posts, talks, open-source
contributions, etc.

You don't need to be familiar with all our technical stack. We expect however that you
ramp up quickly on these technologies, with the help of more senior engineers. Our stack
is based on Node: we are using React, GraphQL, Express, or Terraform (to handle our
AWS stack). 
No prior professional experience: we strongly believe that tech curiosity, desire to learn, and sharing knowledge are the most valuable skills for an engineer.

What makes you a good fit:

    • Fast learner to ramp up quickly on new technologies and processes
    • Fluency in JavaScript development, with some Git experience
    • Ability to develop a feature following given requirements
    • Capable of identifying blockers and to find some workarounds
    • Good English level: we are an international team, and we communicate only in English
    • Willingness to roll up your sleeves in a fast-paced startup environment
    • Good fit for remote working
    • Having a technical blog or maintaining some open-source projects is a plus

What we offer:

    • 100% remote team: work from anywhere (EU and US Time zones)
    • Competitive salary
    • Generous equity grant
    • Co-working stipend
    • Equipment package
    • Company-sponsored team retreats in exotic destinations
After the internal interview with Startuplifers, in case you would be interviewed from the company, the process will be structured as follows:

The Tint hiring process aims to be as short as possible. We'll only take half a day of your
time before presenting you an offer if everything goes well.

1. Screening call (1h):
Let's chat together to ensure our both expectations are aligned.

2. Technical interview (1h30):
This technical interview is a good opportunity for you to show us your technical
capabilities. Don't worry, it won't be a theoretical whiteboard interview asking you a sorting
algorithm. Instead, it will be inspired from our real world tasks, such as creating a React
component or implementing a new API route.
If you have less than 3 years of experience, this interview would be a peer programming
session with a Tint engineer.

3. Culture fit calls (1h): 
Two 30 minutes calls with both Matheus Riolfi (CEO) and Jérôme Selles (CTO) of Tint.

4. Reference Checks:
We'll check with your current and/or former manager how well you did in your past
Positions.

5. Offer: 
Congratulations! You receive an offer to join Tint!
