ENGINEERING AT HYPEREXPONENTIAL

At hyperexponential (hx) we are transforming the traditional insurance industry with our groundbreaking SaaS platform, hx Renew. Insurers use it to build complex mathematical models that enable smarter, faster pricing decisions—whether it’s calculating the cost to insure a global superstar’s concert tour or protecting entire states from natural disasters.
With hx Renew, insurers can rapidly develop and iterate pricing models in Python and React within a modern software environment, free from the burden of legacy tech. What once took months now takes weeks—or even days. This agility has made our product the go-to platform for insurers worldwide.
In just five years, our winning formula has earned the trust of industry giants like Aviva and Top 5 US insurers, as well as cutting-edge innovators like Convex and Inigo. Our engineering team—made up of some of the brightest (and kindest!) minds in the industry—pushes technological boundaries every day through creative innovation and regular hackathons.
