Senior Software Engineer

Revolutionizing a trillion dollar category Insurance wasn’t built for a tech-driven world. It’s a 600-year-old reactive model that was originally designed to manage the risk of ships. This model can no longer keep pace with today’s risks which move at the speed of tech, like cyber attacks, system downtime and climate change. 1Fort is reinventing insurance by using AI to transition it from a reactive model to a proactive one. By integrating AI-powered risk mitigation services with top-tier insurance policies, we help companies never need to use their insurance and save money in the process.
