Come rewrite an industry
It's been said that 'Software is eating the world'. Software developers the world over have been improving quality of experience in every industry - except one: Commercial Insurance. Why? There is no stack to build on. Why not? It is a harder problem than you might think.
Join us in building the modern insurance stack.

Briza's technical stack
Briza prides itself on being able to write quality software fast. Our technology stack is designed to enable developers to do their best work so they can spend more time creating and shipping, instead of firefighting.
Stack
The Briza's API is a Node.js app written in TypeScript – a service-oriented monolith. Our software has great test coverage that runs on pull requests using GitHub Actions.
Infrastructure
Briza's software is hosted on AWS. Fargate manages the containers and their automatic scaling. For Postgres we use RDS. And all of this exists as infrastructure-as-code through Terraform. We use Datadog for observability and monitoring.
Our people say
At Briza, you are joining a talented team and there are endless opportunities to broaden your skills and professional experience. Your feedback makes an impact on the workflow and the team culture, and you don’t often get that at a large company.
Samantha K.
UX Designer
Leadership trusts us to decide what’s most important to work on. On my team, we regularly go through the business’s overall goals together and then determine what steps will get us there. The result is a backlog we all believe in. I love working on a team where my voice is heard, my technical opinion is trusted, and we all support one another’s growth.
