Overview: <p>Think insurance is boring? We did too. So we built a company that takes everything you think you know about buying insurance and turns it on its head. At Cover, we&rsquo;re disrupting an industry. It&rsquo;s something we&rsquo;re proud of, and it inspires us to come into work every day. Everyone here is passionate about what we&rsquo;re doing, using cutting-edge tools to build leading-edge tech.</p> <p>We are a Silicon Valley startup operating in Toronto, and we are scaling. Right now, we&rsquo;re looking for smart, collaborative, innovators to be part of our dynamic environment. A place that celebrates successes, welcomes debate and nurtures a positive, learning atmosphere. Every Friday, we hear from the leadership, sync up our San Francisco and Toronto offices, show off what we&rsquo;ve built and have fun. We&rsquo;re not saving the world, but we are saving people money and ensuring they get a fair deal in a way that exemplifies what smartphones were built to do. Bring us your ideas and your energy; show up ready to have a creative conversation. We will help you achieve your best potential.</p> <p><strong>Five fast facts</strong></p> <ul> <li>We read.
