Italy-based startup Tuttoaposto is a data-driven insurtech backed by Fastweb-Vodafone & Founders Factory. We are building a digital-first MGA to simplify, automate, and modernize home and contents insurance for millions of Italian households.
Want to build a category-defining brand in European Insurtech from the ground up? We are looking for a Technical Co-Founder to take full ownership of the tech vision, architecture, and execution from MVP to scale.
This is a hands-on, full-stack leadership role. You’ll work side-by-side with the Co-Founder & CEO to bring Tuttoaposto from concept to product-market fit and beyond, leading the design and build of our MVP, data infrastructure, and API-first architecture.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Own the technical roadmap, architecture, and execution of Tuttoaposto’s platform from day one
- Build and launch the MVP using lean, modern technologies — low/no-code, AI-powered IDEs, external APIs, pre-built insurance tools
- Design, integrate, and manage data pipelines across property data, IoT, geospatial risk, customer behaviour, and third-party APIs
- Set up internal tools for AI-powered claims handling and CX automation
- Build Tuttoaposto’s API layer, enabling seamless embedding into distribution partner flows
- Collaborate on the foundation of models for automated pricing and underwriting logic, integrating carrier data and market benchmarks
- Hire and lead the early engineering team, shaping culture, process, and technical standards
- Work closely with product, insurance, and growth to iterate rapidly and deliver measurable customer value
What We’re Looking For
- Strong experience as a tech leader in a startup or fast-scaling tech company
- Proven ability to ship MVPs fast, with a pragmatic approach to technical debt and iteration
- Deep understanding of API design and integration, including building API endpoints that can embed into third-party platforms
- Experience with data architecture and enrichment, particularly around consumer profiling, risk modelling, or real-time personalisation
- Fluent in modern full-stack development (e.g., Node.js, Python, React/Next.js, PostgreSQL, Firebase, etc.)
- Experience (or curiosity) around insurance, fintech, or regulated markets
- Bonus: Experience with AI/ML applications, IoT integration, or geospatial data
- Based in Italy or willing to relocate and travel regularly to Milan
- English & Italian language skills (fluency)
Why Join as Co-Founder
- Co-found a venture-backed company supported by Founders Factory and Fastweb-Vodafone as both investors and strategic partners
- 10%-20% equity - true co-founder economics and full ownership of your domain
- Partner with a CEO & Co-Founder with expertise in growth, partnerships and monetisation (ex-Google, VC, and consumer startups)
- No legacy tech - shape the entire product and tech stack from scratch
- Apply AI & LLMs to a massive, real-world use case with untapped potential
- Solve a real, deeply underserved problem that impacts millions of Italians
We’ll be reviewing applications on a rolling basis. Don’t worry if you don’t tick every box—we value ambition, execution, and founder mindset.
