Kalepa | Senior Backend and Full-Stack Engineers | New York, NY & Completely Remote | Full-time | VISA https://angel.co/company/kalepa
Kalepa is a New York based, VC backed, startup building software to transform and disrupt the $1T commercial insurance market. Engineers and designers at Kalepa are solving interesting and challenging problems at the intersection of big data pipelines, cutting-edge machine learning models, intuitive frontend apps, and robust infrastructure. You will be working in a small team building technology from the ground up with the latest stack.
One trillion dollars are spent globally each year on commercial insurance. However, the process for estimating the risk associated with a given business across various perils is still reliant on inefficient and inaccurate forms and research. This information asymmetry leads to a broken set of incentives and a poor experience for both businesses and insurers alike. By combining cutting edge data science, enterprise software, and insurance expertise, Kalepa is delivering precision underwriting at scale. Kalepa is turning real-world data into a complete understanding of risk.
Kalepa's team members have worked at Facebook, Google, Amazon, ClassPass, APT (acquired by Mastercard), the Israel Defense Forces, MIT, Berkeley, and UPenn. We are backed by IA Ventures.

Covariant (https://covariant.ai/) | Berkeley, CA (San Francisco Bay Area) | full-time | onsite (pre/post-COVID)
Since the first industrial robots were introduced in the 1960s, robots have automated countless dangerous, repetitive tasks, but they've only reached a fraction of their potential. Incapable of thinking on their own, they can only do pre-programmed tasks in tightly-controlled environments -- they can't understand, learn, or adapt. Covariant was founded in 2017 to change this.
Our vision is the Covariant Brain: universal AI that allows robots to see, reason, and act on the world around them. We’re bringing the Covariant Brain to commercial viability, starting with the industries that make, move, and store things in the physical world.
Our work was recently featured in publications from the New York Times (https://nyti.ms/2SkFoUe) and the Wall Street Journal (https://on.wsj.com/2OpujAe), to IEEE Spectrum (https://bit.ly/2Opw3cy)!
We’re always hiring for a variety of roles, but our current priorities are:
- Site Reliability Engineer: https://bit.ly/2OrhpSf
- Sr. Software Engineer: https://bit.ly/2OprXBq
Experience in AI/ML/robotics is not required!
Bringing AI from laboratory research to success in the real world requires a team that represents that world -- a diversity of backgrounds, points of view, and experiences. Our common denominator: ambitious expectations, love of learning, and empathy for those around us. Curious? Read more about our company and our engineering culture! https://bit.ly/37U1rba
