About Kinetic
The Kinetic team is on a mission to create a safer workplace and better life for the frontline workforce around the world. We are re-defining workers comp by focusing on three main pillars: injury prediction, prevention, and management. Kinetic develops technology-driven solutions in each of these areas to create best-in-class outcomes for our policyholders.
Kinetic’s first product is a smart wearable device that monitors kinematic motion of an employee, and helps provide coaching on high-risk ergonomic motions such as bending, twisting, and jumping. It has proven to be incredibly effective at reducing frequency and severity of strain and sprain injuries by over 55%. Since then, we have expanded into developing tools such as a rapid-return-to-work process, computer vision for safety in the workplace, and generative AI for claims management. This is an exciting opportunity to work at a company fusing technology with industry leading services to create happier, healthier employees.
Kinetic is based in New York city, but has workers based remotely in many geographic locations. At this stage, Kinetic has approximately 70 employees and is expanding rapidly due to the rapid growth, with 10x growth in just 2 years.
