h3>Founding CTO / Head of Engineering, New Insurtech Venture

The Opportunity.

Koru’s venture studio is incubating an exciting startup that plans to modernize the insurance industry and unlock the InsurTech space with seamless connectivity and open data sharing that was previously impossible.

Today, insurance data is siloed and fragmented - resulting in operational inefficiencies, less than ideal customer experiences, and lack of innovation. We’re launching a new insurance platform that will revolutionize access to insurance data via a single, unified API with the goal of enabling the entire insurance ecosystem to build better, more personalized insurance products and customer experiences.

We have an experienced Entrepreneur-in-Residence (CEO) looking for a Technical Co-Founder (CTO) to join this journey. As part of our studio, this venture has a Koru incubation team spanning product, tech, design, operations and GTM working on building the first version of the platform, armed with research, data, some early market validation, a first customer, and a robust pipeline of potential partners.

Koru is a first of its kind venture studio and early-stage investor funded by Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan, a $200B+ Canadian investor with portfolio companies around the world — giving us access to innovate across dozens of different industries on a global scale. We build and invest in ventures from 0-1 that address customer frictions head-on — and we leverage our corporate partnerships to gain unfair advantages in the market.

As Co-Founder & CTO, you will:

  1. Be engineering hire #1 and work closely with Koru’s talented product, design, business, and growth teams during incubation.
  2. Own technical architecture and development with full accountability for the design, implementation, and evolution of technical systems.
  3. Make strategic decisions around speed to market vs scalability and long term vision of the architecture/systems/design.
  4. Own the selection of technologies, architecture design, and engagement with vendors.
  5. Own the development roadmap, define and track development KPIs and manage overall product development budget.
  6. Lead the technical team and help hire the best talent, as we transition from Koru to the venture’s own full-time team.
  7. Champion agile practices that provide a foundation for iterative product development in response to key insights from customer validation and market/team feedback.
  8. Build a strong team culture that emphasizes best-in-class software qualities including testability, security, scalability, operability, etc.
    1. Be ready to take risks and build something from the ground up.
    2. Have a high degree of comfort with the levels of ambiguity and the pace of building an early stage startup.
    3. Have 10+ years of hands-on experience in technology development.
    4. Have experience working across platforms & technologies, such as web and mobile apps, SaaS, big data and/or AI and ML powered platforms.
    5. Have experience with architectural design while leading and inspiring engineering teams.
    6. Have experience working with agile, lean and continuous delivery approaches.
    7. A real passion for solving customer frictions through simple and effective software.
    8. Experience in building completely new products from 0-1, and bringing them to market.
    9. Previous experience founding a company or as a first technical hire in a new startup.
    10. Experience building a team and technology from scratch through to some level of success.

      Koru’s commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.

      Diversity of perspectives and experience is at the core of how we approach disruption and innovation. b>
