Global Insurtech, Scaling Fast
Insurance has long been seen as complex, outdated, and fragmented. We’re changing that. This world-leading Insurtech is redefining how people experience insurance by embedding intelligent protection into the platforms and digital experiences people already love. Backed by top-tier VC Airtree and Movac, we’re scaling globally to modernise a tired industry and we need engineers like you to lead the way.
Your Impact Starts Day One
This isn’t a role for incremental tweaks or following tickets. From day one, you’ll shape how the platform scales, define architecture decisions, and set engineering standards. You’ll design systems, solve complex problems, and influence the future of an industry that touches millions of people.
What You’ll Work On
- Own design and architecture for a globally scaling platform
- Build microservices (Python/Django experience is a plus, but not required you’ll have the opportunity to learn it)
- Cloud-native infrastructure with AWS, Terraform & CloudFormation
- Cross-functional squads with product, design, and data at the same table
- Engineering best practice grounded in SOLID principles and clean architecture
- Mentorship and collaboration in a high-performance culture
Why Join?
Because here, your work matters. You won’t inherit legacy systems you’ll build enduring solutions that scale. You’ll influence both technology and product direction while shaping the engineering culture.
