Staff Software Engineer, Kin Insurance

Kin Insurance works directly with consumers to provide bespoke and affordable home insurance. The company's software imports thousands of variables based on third-party data in order to provide a more personalized approach to home insurance. Data is also collected from aerial and satellite imagery, government records, and building permits to ensure a house is covered from localized threats such as wildfire, hurricanes and other natural disasters.

Recognizing the antiquated and one-size-fits-all nature of the current home insurance landscape, Kin Insurance has taken an innovative approach by focusing on data collection. Through these means, the company claims that it can offer personalized insurance that can be negotiated directly through its communication channels, ensuring that consumers can access the exact insurance they need without having to pay more than is required. Strong funding, raised across several rounds, will allow Kin to expand its network and business reach.
