We've partnered with a well known name in the insuretech space - one of the UK's most exciting scale-ups over the past few years. .

Following a successful profitability push, they're now entering a growth phase and expanding their product offerings. There's also ongoing work rewriting their Django monolith into modern microservices/FAST APi based architecture.

You'll be joining a collaborative, 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.

With a new VP of Engineering in place and strong engineering leadership, they offer the right mix of scale-up pace, engineering maturity, and long-term growth potential.

They're looking for a number of bright, engaging software engineers familiar with or interested in working with their tech stack.

Tech stack:

• Python (FastAPI, Starlette)
• gRPC
• GraphQL
• PostgreSQL
• DynamoDB
• AWS
• EKS
• CI/CD pipelines

What you'll be doing:

• Contributing to 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 product and engineering leads to solve complex problems

Ideal Requirements:

• 2-5 years' backend engineering experience (ideally Python, but open to other languages)
• Experience in microservices or modern service architecture
• Excellent communication skills and willingness to take initiative

Nice to have:

• FastAPI, GraphQL, gRPC
• Experience with AWS and CI/CD tooling

This is a great opportunity to join a profitable, product-focused company with ambitions to scale in 2025. You'll be surrounded by experienced engineers and given the tools to take ownership and grow your career.
