InsurTech | high traffic, scalable, event-driven, microservices development

We’ve partnered with one of the UK’s most exciting scale-ups in the Insuretech space over the past few years.

Following a successful profitability push, they’re now entering a growth phase and expanding their product offering.

As a Lead/Senior+ Software Engineer you’ll help drive technical direction and architecture within a product-led squad environment, rotating across business domains. This is an opportunity to gain exposure to cloud-native architecture, contribute to new platform initiatives, and accelerate your path to seniority.

They’re building out high traffic, scalable, cloud-native, microservices using Python with FastAPI, gRPC GraphQL, AWS (EKS).

You’d lead a rotating squad with exposure to multiple domains and technical challenges around developing complex, high volume, public facing applications used by many.

This opportunity blends scale‑up security with engineering maturity, and long‑term growth potential.

What you’ll be doing:

• Owning the design and development of scalable backend systems
• Working across rotating product squads with full domain exposure
• Deploying and owning your code in production (AWS EKS)
• Collaborating with other product and engineering leads to solve complex problems
