Root Insurance - Senior Software Engineer
Fully Remote (HQ in Columbus, OH; occasional on-sites with provided travel)
Root Insurance (https://www.joinroot.com) is reimagining auto insurance using technology to provide better pricing and a better experience. Their engineering team builds a flexible platform where product designers and quantitative scientists can rapidly test, deploy, and iterate.
About the Role
The Partner Activation team is hiring a Senior Software Engineer experienced with Ruby on Rails and API design in an enterprise setting. This team powers Root's embedded partnerships (Carvana, Experian, Toyota, Hyundai, and more). You can see more of what they build here: https://root-bind-api.readme.io
This team sits at the intersection of multiple internal teams and external partners, mostly working on greenfield projects that bring modern tooling to legacy integrators. As the team's scope has grown, they are adding a dedicated engineer to own this work long-term. You'll coordinate across teams and with non-engineers regularly, so clear communication matters as much as technical skills. They are also exploring AI for integration-facing products (external dashboards, support tools, intake management) to reduce manual engineering overhead in their growth pipeline.
