Kalepa

Kalepa builds Copilot, AI-powered underwriting software for insurers designed to improve underwriting productivity and loss ratios. Insurers using Copilot have reported underwriting productivity gains of nearly 2x alongside meaningful loss ratio improvements. The company works in artificial intelligence, machine learning and insurance technology, selling to carriers and underwriting teams in the insurance sector.

The company is remote-first by design, with a global team working across more than 10 languages. Kalepa invests in bringing people together in person through regional meetups and annual offsites, which have been held in Rome, Buenos Aires, Lisbon and Cartagena. For candidates based in Central and Eastern Europe, the distributed model means working within an international team without relocation.

Kalepa describes its engineering culture as one of small teams with real ownership over problems, where engineers work on complex problems with no existing solutions or templates. The company reports that its team brings experience from Facebook, Google, Amazon, Mastercard and Uber. It emphasises transparency, a meritocratic environment in which results matter more than titles, and relentless experimentation through testing, measuring and iterating.

Performance is measured against client revenue growth, profitability improvements and real-world impact, with an explicit focus on customer outcomes rather than vanity metrics.
