Berkley Hunt

Founding Software Engineer

Company: Berkley Hunt

Location: San Francisco, CA

Posted on: June 19

Berkley Hunt is working with a stealth-mode, venture-backed startup that's rethinking how legacy industries handle data exchange, starting with the massive, outdated world of commercial insurance. Their mission is to bring modern API infrastructure to a space still dominated by manual workflows and disconnected systems. Imagine the kind of transformation Plaid brought to banking, but applied to a sector that's long overdue for change.
