We re-envision insurance in light of technical, societal, and consumer changes

Investing in innovation

We`re a passionate, diverse team that focuses on creating real impact. We re-envision insurance in light of technical, societal and consumer changes. Our past successes include a diverse mix of technical and business challenges:

Industry first

We were the first in the US insurance industry to build a real-time streaming environment to collect IoT data from 10,000+ connected smoke detectors.

Deep learning

We designed and developed a capability to use deep learning to automatically extract residential property attributes from satellite, aerial, and terrestrial imagery. Arturo spun out to be a global player in the application of this technology to the insurance industry.

Agents of change

As the first team to operate in the cloud at scale, we’re an agent of change within American Family Mutual Insurance.

Our Commitment to Inclusivity

We’re proud to carry AmFam’s commitment to diversity and social justice into everything we do. We serve our customers with distinction, build an inclusive workforce, and live out our values every day.

“Embedding diversity, equity and inclusion into our strategic plan was critically important. It’s evident in our culture statement. It’s evident in our values. And we’ve placed it front and center as one of our strategic goals.”
