Description
We strongly believe that the insurance industry needs a remake, which is why we have built Flink, an insurance our users love. Based on simplicity, flexibility and fairness, we have taken the first steps and launched two insurance products (private liability insurance & household insurance) that you can discover at www.goflink.ch.
Flink is a corporate startup located in St. Gallen, Switzerland, and backed by the third biggest insurance company in Switzerland, Helvetia Versicherungen AG. Started as an internal project in late 2016, Flink already offers two basic insurances and an awesome mobile experience. Our products are easy to understand and can be cancelled on a monthly basis, compared to conventional insurance contracts that last for years. We’re two innovation experts with experience in the startup field as well as in the insurance sector.
As the CTO you will be working together with us and be responsible for all the IT development tasks.

- lead a small development support team abroad
- closely be connected to the development of new products and implement them on the website (yourself or with help of our support team)
- be responsible to further develop our chatbot on the website as well as other platforms (e.g. Facebook messenger)
- be responsible for the integration of Flink with the IT systems of different partners (Marketing, Insurances, etc.)
