Root was founded on the belief that car insurance is broken, and we set out to change it. We’re harnessing the power of technology to revolutionize this archaic, complicated industry. Using machine learning and mobile telematic platforms, we’ve built one of the most innovative insurtech companies in the world.


The Opportunity


We are looking for a Staff Software Engineer to join and lead engineering at Root. As a Staff Engineer, you will be the primary technical leader for one or more teams within a product domain (e.g. Pricing, Underwriting, Claims, etc). You’ll work very closely with the software engineers on your team(s) to ship valuable software as well as the broad set of stakeholders to define the strategy and overall roadmap for the domain.


Salary Range: $180,000 - $229,000 (Bonus and LTI Eligible)


Root is a “work where it works best” company. This means we will support you working in whatever location that works best for you across the US.

Contribute code strategically each development cycle to advance the impact of the team
Lead by example in incident response ensuring we take action to continuously improve the resiliency of our systems

What You Will Need to Succeed

7+ years as a software engineer
3+ years leading software teams
Expertise in Ruby on Rails
Familiarity with React
Proven leadership of projects involving multiple teams across functional domains
Excellent communication skills both with engineering colleagues and senior business leaders
As part of Root's interview process, we kindly ask that all candidates be on camera for virtual interviews. This helps us create a more personal and engaging experience for both you and our interviewers. Being on camera is a standard requirement for our process and part of how we assess fit and communication style, so we do require it to move forward with any applicant's candidacy.
