We might be the biggest story you’ve never heard about. When COVID started, Go made a big bet: that it could save essential workers more money on car insurance than anytime in history by offering half-off rates.  It worked. Go has grown from $0 to $100mm, making the company the fastest-growing insurer in the country.
At Go you’re joining a team that has three qualities rarely found in one place. You are having a real impact on real people’s lives. You are advancing our core belief that most accidents don’t need to happen -- and truly helping everyone stay a little safer. And you are receiving stock options in a valuable business -- that can soon be public market currency.
As a backend engineer, a blank text editor is where you start. We don't have a preference if you're a Don Knuth fan who counts bits, track your historical best TTI system metrics, or just assemble as much as is already out there. What we believe in is leverage, system design, and speed. We're highly collaborative, but also Go engineers singlehandedly own and operate the same amount of infra as 3-4 engineers at a large company. We are a unit. We set priorities, solve challenges, and execute. And with you, we’ll execute more than we ever have.
