Job Description

Our Mission

===============


At hyperexponential, we're changing the way global insurers approach pricing. In a world where big decisions like launching rockets or building skyscrapers rely on insurance, many of the industry's most important pricing models still run on outdated tools like Excel.


That's why we built hx Renew, a powerful platform that automates pricing, processes data at scale, and delivers advanced models in under 30 minutes. With over 45 billion in Gross Written Premium flowing through our platform and $73 million raised in Series B funding, we're now scaling globally with offices in London, Warsaw, and New York.
