WeatherPromise – a startup backed by some of the highest profile VCs, with an outstanding team across the US and Europe, a strong pipeline and deep proprietary tech – is looking for an experienced back-end/devops engineer.

Our Mission: WeatherPromise is on a mission to protect consumers’ amazing experiences against bad weather. If you go on vacation, take part in an outdoor activity, attend a music festival or sporting events, etc., and the weather is not what we promised, WeatherPromise automatically reimburses you. We know that consumers value experiences over things, and weather is the biggest factor in making or breaking those experiences. WeatherPromise promises that weather won’t spoil your experience.

What We Do: WeatherPromise is completely automated and embedded in our B2B Partners’ sales funnel. We automatically create, price and select a WeatherPromise for each activity, trip or purchase based on precipitation, heat, cold, or any other relevant weather parameter and then watch the weather in real time. If the weather is not as promised, we automatically pay our customer. We distribute our coverage through B2B Partners such as online travel sites, hotel chains, airlines, and others offering experiences potentially impacted by weather. Our offering is driven by high quality weather data, real-time pricing, massive data insights and cutting-edge UX/UI work. Learn more at www.weatherpromise.com.
