Software Engineer

I am partnered with an InsurTech start-up at a time of growth due to success. My client is looking for an up-and-coming engineer - someone with a couple of years of real-world experience who’s ready to take ownership of their work and grow within a supportive, pragmatic team.

Most of your time will be spent handling change requests and feature work for clients: everything from small bugfixes to full features in our underwriting platform. You’ll be trusted to take problems, understand them, then build, test and deploy solutions - with the backing of a senior team that wants you to learn and succeed.

This is a great fit if you enjoy variety, value autonomy, and want to make a direct impact without layers of bureaucracy.

What You’ll Do

  • Extend and improve our underwriting platform for new and existing clients
  • Work across the stack - from frontend (React) to backend (Go / Postgres)
  • Write and test code with confidence, delivering real value iteratively
  • Collaborate with other developers, product managers, and QA to deliver features
  • Help maintain UI and UX consistency across our products
  • Investigate, troubleshoot, and resolve issues in production systems
