Senior Full Stack Engineer (Canada)

About Kalepa:

Commercial insurance is a trillion-dollar industry run out of Microsoft Outlook.

Kalepa is upending this.

Our state-of-the-art AI Copilot platform empowers underwriters to make smarter faster and more accurate decisions. Our AI is designed to deliver real results - insurers literally see massive improvements to their top and bottom lines as soon as they implement Copilot. Thats why our clients call Copilot truly an underwriters dream and proclaim that Copilot helps them almost double the amount of accounts they can look at in the day.

Kalepas team members bring experience from top technology companies including Facebook Google Amazon Mastercard and Uber. Kalepa is backed by leading VCs like IA Ventures and Inspired Capital.

Our Values (This is important):

Many organizations have a dusty list of corporate values that no one ever follows. Kalepa is not one of those companies. Our values are designed to unlock the potential of our employees.

Success at Kalepa is bred from five core principles:

• Hustle & Grit - We expect everyone at Kalepa to be excellent at what they do and relentless in pursuing their craft. There are no easy days. Kalepas exceptional speed and determination are our biggest differentiators: this is how we win.
• Customer Focus - We will ruthlessly prioritize the work that drives our clients growth profitability and efficiency. We are not building things just because they seem cool - we are here to solve our customers most strategic problems.
• Meritocracy - Too many exceptional people are stifled by corporate bureaucracies. At Kalepa those people excel - and we reward tremendous results with rapid promotions and compensation growth.
• Transparency - We are honest with each other. We dont believe in back-office politics and keeping employees in the dark. Transparency allows us to instantly cut to the heart of the matter and figure it out together.
• Experimentation - For many of the problems we face no company has ever solved them before. We tackle these by quickly testing measuring and iterating to determine the path to success.

In addition to our NY office we have remote employees speaking 10 languages across the globe. But we invest in bringing our people together both for regional meetups and global offsites (2021 - Playa Del Carmen 2022 - Rome 2023 - Buenos Aires 2024 - Lisbon 2025 - Cartagena).

Kalepas culture isnt for everyone and thats ok. But for the people who are a fit they cant imagine working elsewhere.
