Front-end Engineer (ReactJS) – First Connect

First Connect is a software platform designed for insurance agents to easily connect with today’s top Insurtech providers and other tech-forward insurance carriers. The platform’s standout feature is a robust comparative rater that lets insurance agents input data just once to generate multiple insurance quotes for their clients. FC aims to continually expand its network of insurance providers by integrating more companies via APIs, making it easy to access a wide range of insurance products. In this role, you will own this area, making FC’s rater the best in class in terms of user experience, speed, accuracy, and costs. You will rebuild it to design the flows and also own the underlying integrations while incorporating it into our new SaaS offering. Interview our users to understand their needs, then work closely with our engineering, design, and business teams, as well as the carriers themselves, to prioritize, build, and monitor this product suite.  So if you're a Mid Front-end Engineer looking to shake things up and have a good time while you're at it, you’ve come to the right place. 🚀 PS. Your question is, what's the connection between First Connect and Hippo Insurance? First Connect is an independent startup that recently spun out of Hippo Insurance and is now building its own unique future. At SwingDev—a hippo company, we're proud to be their long-term strategic partner. Want to learn more? Let's discuss it on our first call! What will you do?
