Senior Software Engineer

at  Porch

Porch Group is a vertical software company reinventing the home services and insurance industries. Through our family of technology, SaaS, and Insurance companies we are able to offer innovative software and service solutions to more than 28,500 companies, and 350,000 policyholders across the country.
Our mission is to completely transform the way people buy, sell, move, and manage their homes throughout their home journey. Sure, it’s a tall order to transform a $320 billion industry, but we’re already well on our way. Since we were founded in 2012, we’ve stuck to our values and our commitment to foster a “No Jerks, No Egos” culture, which is a big reason we’ve gone from a scrappy startup to a Nasdaq-listed company and the industry-leading partner for the home in less than eight years.
At Porch Group, no two days will ever be the same and you’ll have the opportunity to help solve big problems, with a refreshing balance of team support and ownership of your work.
