Root Platform (Root), a leading provider of low-code, API-first InsurTech solutions, has announced the launch of its Certified Developer Community program.
The Certified Developer Community program was introduced to address a pressing industry need for enhanced scalability, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness in insurance technology projects, according to InsurTech Insights.
Root aims to achieve this by upskilling developers within the insurance sector, creating a network of skilled professionals adept at deploying advanced InsurTech solutions.
The firm specialises in offering low-code, API-driven platforms that enable insurance businesses to accelerate digital transformation.
Its technology supports companies in building custom insurance solutions while reducing development time and costs.
The new program is designed to train developers to become certified Solutions Engineer freelancers, ready to tackle complex InsurTech challenges.
These engineers will gain access to freelance opportunities, project allocations, and ongoing training from Root’s Solutions Engineering team. The program also offers mentorship and continuous performance monitoring to ensure consistent skill enhancement.
A notable feature of the initiative is its focus on fostering collaboration and continuous improvement. Developers will benefit from regular feedback, performance reviews, and a supportive learning environment aimed at driving innovation across the insurance sector.
The program also serves as a strategic move by Root to expand its ecosystem, ensuring insurance companies can access highly qualified talent capable of delivering scalable and cost-effective technology solutions.
