What We Value Most in a Candidate

• Culture is Key. Our team is remote first. We are a diverse, global team that works well together, even when we aren't in person. We are looking for self-motivated candidates who can stay motivated and focused. But don't worry, we're still social! We work collaboratively even though we are remote and travel to team and company retreats throughout the year.
• Focused on Results. We are a fast-moving small team with big goals. We need team players that feel a sense of urgency to drive meaningful results for the business. We have clear company goals and a pathway to significant growth - and this role is integral to that journey.
• Customer-first. Put yourself in the shoes of someone trying to buy our solution. We need a person who can empathize with our customers and help create strategies to continually improve the customer experience.
• Adaptability. We're still an early-stage start-up, and things change quickly. If you are energized by learning and discovering on-the-go, this will be an excellent fit for you. We are looking for open-minded candidates that adapt well to changing environments as our company grows and scales.

Why Contract to Hire?

We know that choosing your next role is a big decision—and sometimes the best way to know if it’s a fit is to try it out. That’s why we’re kicking things off with a 6-month contract. You’ll have the opportunity to work on meaningful, high-impact projects from day one, get to know the team, and see how we collaborate and build. If it feels right on both sides, there’s a clear path to join full-time.

At Tint, we’re ambitious about changing the insurance industry, but we’re just as committed to fostering a culture of openness, merit, and inclusion. We believe great work happens when people bring their full selves to the table—and we’re excited to see what you bring.

Location

This role is a fully remote contract for a contractor located in the US and does not offer visa sponsorship.

Pay transparency

This is a 6-month contract role to start, with the strong possibility of converting to full-time if it’s a great mutual fit. We’re offering $100–140/hour, depending on your experience and where you're based. If we both decide to make things official after the contract, we’ll revisit comp and talk about full-time salary, equity, and benefits then. We aim to be fair, transparent, and competitive with market rates—and we’re always open to a conversation.
