About CoverbaseThe foundation of the modern global economy is built on a dense network of counterparty trust and risk. In the past 50 years, companies have evolved from relying on a couple of wholesalers and vendors, to utilizing 100+ SaaS vendors, contract partners, and cloud providers. Since each counterparty has their own idiosyncratic internal processes and risk profiles, businesses end up spending millions of dollars and countless man-hours conducting due diligence.Coverbase’s missionStreamline this business-to-business assessment, reducing human toil, and allowing organizations to work together safely and reliably. Employ modern AI techniques to organize vast amounts of unstructured data and compare them against policies to identify key risks to the business.Serve customers across Fortune 500 companies in insurance, higher education, and finance — including five of the top 25 banks in the US.ExpectationsWe're seeking a Product Engineer to develop foundational components of our product and anchor the culture and spirit of the team.
