Fruition Group working with a leading Insurtech unicorn on a mission to transform the insurance industry. Their products have already generated millions in revenue, and now they're investing heavily in new innovations that will shape the sector for years to come. This is an exciting opportunity for a motivated Senior Engineer who wants to grow in a high-performing, forward-thinking business.

As a Senior Backend Engineer, you'll play a central role in building and scaling the systems that power their insurance platform. You'll focus on developing Python-based cloud microservices (FastAPI preferred), contributing to the architecture of resilient, high-performance systems, and collaborating with a cross-functional team to deliver features at pace.

This is a hands-on engineering position with plenty of scope to influence technical direction, improve processes, and grow your expertise in distributed systems.

What will I be doing:

• Design, develop, and maintain Python microservices (FastAPI) running in production.
• Take ownership of features end-to-end, from design to deployment and monitoring.
• Write high-quality, testable code with a focus on scalability and resilience.
• Collaborate closely with engineers, product managers, and designers to deliver quickly.
• Contribute to evolving architecture, tooling, and CI/CD practices.

What experience do I need:

• Strong background in Python development (FastAPI, Flask, or Django).
• Good knowledge of microservices, APIs, and cloud-based infrastructure.
• Experience with SQL and NoSQL databases, Git, and CI/CD workflows.
• Solid engineering fundamentals - data structures, OOP, debugging, and testing.
• Collaborative, curious, and eager to experiment with AI tools to improve productivity.

If this position sounds of interest, please apply and a member of the team will be in touch to discuss further.

We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all suitably qualified persons regardless of their race, sex, disability, religion/belief, sexual orientation, or age.
