  1. Opinionated, but open-minded

  2. Curious, always looking to grow & learn

  3. Empathetic, helpful and respectful

You believe in:

  1. Craftsmanship. You take pride in “doing things right”

  2. Robust, Tested and Performant Code

  3. Cross-functionality. Working across disciplines builds better systems

  4. Involvement. You want to be part of not just code, but decisions, prioritizations and directions

  5. Ownership. Ship it, own it, be proud of it

  6. Automation. Anything that can be automated should be automated

You have:

  1. 2+ years professional experience in Scala (strongly preferred), Haskell, Clojure, OCaml or another functional language

About UNDO:

Undo is a start-up on a mission to change insurance as you know it. We’re replacing bureaucracy and roadblocks by injecting technology and accessibility into an industry that lacks both – reinventing insurance as it should be: no paperwork, no phone queues, less BS. The result is a seamless digital interface on both web and app, that delivers a fast, affordable, and hassle-free experience.


UNDO has:

  1. A exceptional focus on employee happiness. It’s about the journey, not the destination

  2. A highly informal, humorous culture. In contrast to insurance, we are (we would argue) not boring

  3. A flat structure. Everyone is on deck, together, and your opinion will always be taken into account

Simple structure, newest tech, transparent products and a stubborn belief that everyone deserves the shortest path from OH NO! to oh well.  We've experienced firsthand how dull, complex and demanding insurance has become - and we aim to change that. By replacing bureaucracy and roadblocks with technology and accessibility, we are creating insurance as it should be: less bullshit, no paperwork. We've partnered up with Tryg as reinsurer, expert and investor.
