Product Co-op Full Time NEW

What We Do
Quandri is transforming the insurance experience for policyholders across North America by providing AI to the industry’s critical stakeholders – insurance agencies and brokerages. Insurance agents are the lifeblood of the insurance industry, and are where most Property & Casualty insurance is sold and serviced. Yet, there are forces making it harder than ever for them to operate; more consolidation, rising talent crisis, increasing complexity of insurance and the AI revolution are significant challenges for how agencies have typically operated.

This challenge is a massive opportunity to rethink how insurance agencies operate. Quandri is at the cutting edge of this change, delivering real transformation to the entire insurance experience one process at time through the deep understanding of insurance workflows, systems and data paired with deep technical capabilities and proprietary models.

We’re making insurance better for policyholders, while helping insurance brokerages deliver a better client service, grow faster, and harness AI so that they control the future of insurance distribution.

About the Role:

This is a hands-on role where you’ll work alongside experienced product managers, designers, and engineers to help shape and ship real products at an AI-first company. You’ll contribute meaningfully from day one, and we expect you to bring AI into how you work, not just what you work on.

The salary range for this role is $20 – $27 an hour with 4% added in lieu of benefits.

What you’ll do:

• Use AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, and others) to accelerate discovery work, synthesizing user research, generating competitive analyses, and drafting product specs

• Support discovery and validation efforts by running competitive analyses, synthesizing qualitative insights, and identifying opportunities for improvement
• Help track and report on key product metrics, using data to surface trends and inform decisions
• Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, design, marketing, and customer success teams to ensure features are delivered effectively
• Participate in sprint ceremonies including standups, planning sessions, and retrospectives
• Contribute to roadmap planning and help maintain product documentation

The right person for this role will have:

• Currently enrolled in a post-secondary program in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field
• Actively uses AI tools like Claude or ChatGPT in their day-to-day work, not just for simple prompts, but to extend what they can think through and produce
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to clearly articulate ideas and trade-offs
• Analytical mindset – comfortable working with data to support product decisions
• Curiosity and eagerness to learn; you ask good questions and aren’t afraid to challenge assumptions
• Ability to manage multiple tasks and priorities in a fast-paced environment
• A genuine interest in product management and building great user experiences

Bonus points if you have:

• Previous co-op, internship, or project experience in a product, design, or technical role
• Hands-on experience with AI coding or research tools beyond the basics, you’ve built prompts, workflows, or automations that have saved time
• Familiarity with product management tools such as Jira, Confluence, Linear, or similar
• Experience with data tools like Posthog, Databricks and SQL
• Exposure to agile or scrum development methodologies

Our guiding principles:

• Customers at the core. We put the customer at the center of all we do. At a basic level, we believe business success comes down to talking to customers and building something they want. We don’t listen to customers and just take what they say blindly, but we think critically about it and build what they need. Customers are the core of everything we do, and our business exists to serve them. We prioritize their needs over all else within the company.
• Move with urgency. There are times when we need to move slowly and deliberately, but we default to acting fast and with urgency. We slow down when necessary, but this should be a deliberate choice. Businesses become more lethargic as they grow, this principle is designed to fight this fact.
• Be curious. We understand the world by being curious and asking why. We aren’t satisfied with surface level understanding, and seek a deeper understanding of why things are the way they are. Don’t take someone’s word for it or the answer “because that’s how we do it.” Understand why and dig deep.
• Excellence in execution. We know that what separates good from great is a high level of execution. We commit ourselves to excellence in everything that we do, from delivering an amazing product to writing a great email.
• Act like an owner. We’re all owners of the business and act like it. We follow through on commitments, own our results and think long-term.
• Fight for simplicity. The law of increasing functional information states that systems evolve to become more complex over time. At Quandri, we believe there is sophistication in simplicity; as such, we intentionally fight for streamlined solutions and are committed to the uncomplicated.
• AI-first. We believe AI is a fundamental shift in how work gets done, not just a tool we occasionally reach for. At Quandri, we lead with AI, in how we build our product, how we run our operations, and how we think about every process and workflow. This isn’t about replacing people; it’s about unlocking them to do higher-value work.

We are an equal opportunity employer and are committed to building an inclusive workplace where everyone can do their best work. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and do not discriminate on the basis of race, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, or any other protected characteristic.

We know that the “right” candidate doesn’t always look the same on paper. If you think you’d be great in this role, we encourage you to apply.

At Quandri, we build technology that automates the repetitive so people can focus on what actually matters — and we apply that same philosophy internally. In our hiring process, that means using AI to handle the administrative and logistical work so our interviewers can show up more fully in every conversation with you. AI tools support parts of our process, such as analyzing resumes and taking notes during interviews. But AI is never the decision maker. Every hiring decision is made by real people who are invested in getting it right — for you and for Quandri. If you have questions about how your information is handled or how we use AI, don’t hesitate to reach out.
