\nThe engineering team at Root strives to be one of the most transformative engineering teams ever. We’re changing the way that car insurance works. We’re competing with companies that have been around for a century and comprise a $200B industry—and we’re doing it with an astonishingly small team.\n\nOur tech stack includes:\n\nRuby / Rails backend, RSpec for testing\nJavascript / React Native frontend, Mocha for testing\nSmall amounts of native iOS and Android\nDeployment to AWS ECS using containers\nBuildkite for CI\n\nWe recently raised one of the largest VC rounds ever for an Ohio technology company:\n\nhttps://venturebeat.com/2018/03/27/root-insurances-51-million-funding-round-is-one-of-the-largest-raised-by-an-ohio-tech-startup/\n\nOur team excels at delivering software to build Root’s products: presently, mobile apps and a backend platform for personal auto insurance. We’ve shaped our team and our way of working around this. Our engineering team would not be the most transformative team at building a mobile operating system. We’d be quite bad at that. We’re exceptionally good at building the type of software that is necessary to invoke change in the insurance industry.\n\nFor more information on engineering at Root see https://eng.joinroot.com/\n\nStaff Engineers at Root are our most trusted technical experts.
