Transforming the Insurance Industry



Koru's venture studio is incubating a groundbreaking startup that aims to revolutionize the insurance industry. The company plans to modernize access to insurance data through a unified API, enabling the entire ecosystem to build better, more personalized insurance products and customer experiences.

About the Opportunity

As the Technical Co-Founder and CTO, you will be part of a talented team working closely with Koru's product, design, business, and growth teams during incubation. Your primary responsibility will be to own the technical architecture and development of the platform, making strategic decisions around speed to market versus scalability and long-term vision.

About Koru

Koru is a first-of-its-kind venture studio and early-stage investor, backed by Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan. With a portfolio of companies worldwide, Koru partners with OTPP to build businesses with a clear right to win. Our studio addresses customer frictions head-on, leveraging corporate partnerships to gain unfair advantages in the market.

Your Key Responsibilities


  • Be the engineering hire #1 and work closely with Koru's talented teams during incubation.
  • Work with the CEO and Investors/Board to align on strategic priorities.
  • Own technical architecture and development with full accountability for design, implementation, and evolution of technical systems.
  • Make strategic decisions around speed to market vs scalability and long-term vision of the architecture/systems/design.
  • Own the selection of technologies, architecture design, and engagement with vendors.
  • Own the development roadmap, define and track development KPIs, and manage overall product development budget.
  • Lead the technical team and help hire the best talent as we transition from Koru to the venture's own full-time team.
  • Champion agile practices that provide a foundation for iterative product development in response to key insights from customer validation and market/team feedback.
  • Be scrappy In the early days, the founding team will be small and cross-functional; this means you'll need to be able to jump between the strategic and the executional on a regular basis.
  • Participate in code reviews, write code, and design solutions alongside your development team as needed.
  • Build a strong team culture that emphasizes best-in-class software qualities, including testability, security, scalability, operability, etc.


About You

To succeed in this role, you will be a seasoned technologist with 10+ years of hands-on experience in technology development. You should have a proven track record in managing remote and third-party teams across geographies and time zones as needed. Strong leadership and communication skills are essential, as well as the ability to regularly travel, including to Koru's headquarters in Toronto, Canada.
