Are you looking for a job involving hands-on software engineering from day one, using new and evolving technologies to solve a real customer problem?

This role would suit an early-career software engineer whos happy in a small company environment, working closely with experienced founders to turn ideas into production systems. Someone curious, who likes to learn; a problem-solver who is comfortable with using analysis, experimentation and iteration to build a great product; a systems thinker who can consider the whole product experience as well as its component parts.

You’ll take ownership of technical work that helps unblock the CTO. Day-to-day, that will include software development within our front-end, back-end and internal apps, as well as technical analysis, experimentation and testing to help us improve the product. We’ll support you to work across the full engineering lifecycle, from scoping through to QA and release.

Your attitude to work and ability to learn are more important to us than your formal qualifications or years of experience. As a guide, the ideal candidate will probably have a degree in computer science, engineering, maths or a scientific discipline, and be proficient with TypeScript and core software tooling such as IDEs, issue trackers and Git.

A bit about us: Our business is all about applying AI and other technologies to deliver a better customer experience to people who need to buy insurance. We’re a small, early-stage company, which means we have to balance rigour with innovation. We need to move quickly, but with a high bar for responsibility.

We expect our company will look very different in a years time. If you find that unsettling, this role is probably not for you. We want to be upfront that were planning to grow and evolve, and were looking for people who are excited to join us on that journey. However if youre intrigued by this article, lets talk!
