About Kalepa:

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

Kalepa is changing that.

Kalepa is an AI Underwriting Platform built to deliver Professional-Grade AI in production - helping the world's most important insurers centralize and prioritize submission data, surface critical risk insights, and make faster, more confident decisions. Customers see meaningful improvements to both speed and portfolio quality as soon as they implement Kalepa - so much so that clients call it “truly an underwriter’s dream.”

Kalepa is backed by leading investors such as IA Ventures and Inspired Capital, and our team brings experience from Facebook, Google, Amazon, Mastercard, and Uber.

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 and Determination - We hire people who take full ownership of their craft and relentlessly pursue excellence with speed and determination. We choose the hard problems and do not give up. This is the foundation of how we work and how we win.
  • Deliver Customer Impact - We're obsessed with customer impact. Every feature, every line of code, every decision is measured against one question: does this help insurers make better decisions? If it doesn't drive speed, accuracy, or profitability for our customers, we don't build it.
  • Meritocracy - We're building something exceptional, and that requires exceptional people and ideas. We have a high bar but we reward excellence with rapid growth. If you're the best at what you do, you'll thrive here.
  • Transparency - We value honest, transparent communication over politics. We challenge ideas, not people. We say what needs to be said, even when it's hard. This is how we solve problems fast and find the truth.
  • Experiment Relentlessly - Many of the problems we face have never been solved before. We tackle them by testing quickly, measuring rigorously, and iterating until we find the path forward. Speed of learning is our advantage.

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).

Kalepa’s culture isn’t for everyone, and that’s ok. But for the people who are a fit, they can’t imagine working elsewhere.

About the role:

Base Salary: $130K - $165K*

At Kalepa, we are the pioneers of Efficient Frontier Insurance.

Insurers find it difficult to understand the true exposures of businesses and to profitably provide them with policies that reflect that true risk. Businesses struggle to find the coverage they need and are often left underinsured, uninsured, or paying higher rates than needed.

We have developed a human-AI insurance platform specifically for the commercial insurance market which addresses these gaps and inefficiencies.

Our Copilot platform allows commercial insurers and brokers to better insure small and medium businesses with more accurate pricing and relevant coverage. This a win win for insurers and businesses alike.

Our Values

  • Customer Focus: We are laser focused on delivering Efficient Frontier Insurance and addressing the challenges of businesses and the carriers, brokers, and technology platforms which serve them. When our customers win, we win.

  • Hustle and Grit: Obstacles? Climb over them, around them, under them, through them, or simply eliminate them. With tenacity and perseverance, we can make the impossible a reality.

  • Transparency: We are direct. We know that clear and constant feedback is essential to improvement. The only way to the truth is for everyone to advance their ideas.

  • Meritocracy: Results speak volumes. Consistent excellence is key to our success as individuals and as Kalepa. We recognize, encourage, and reward merit often and with conviction.

  • Experimentation: The scientific method is in our DNA. We drive more value and increase impact every time we iterate. We balance data-driven ideas with accountability.
