Brit Group Services Hiring for Software Engineer Job at London, England Full Time

Ki is the biggest global insurance tech company you’ve never heard of, unless you’ve been looking to insure a satellite, wind farm or music festival recently.

We launched in 2021 on the back of a fundraise that delivered $500m of investment, making us one the largest fintech start-ups that year. Our investors were excited about the fact we were revolutionising the way a 333 year-old industry was working. There are hardly any industries left that are mainly paper based, but the specialty insurance market is one. Together with partners at Google and UCL we developed Ki and created a platform that helped insurance brokers place risk in a fast and frictionless way. We’re continuing to lead the charge on the digitalisation of this market and to realise this goal we need more excellent minds to work with us to realise more opportunities.

What’s the role?

Our broker platform is the core technology crucial to Ki’s success – allowing us to evolve underwriting intelligently and unlock massive scale.

We’re a multi-disciplined team, bringing together expertise in software and data engineering, full stack development, platform operations, algorithm research, and data science. Our squads focus on delivering high-impact features – we favour a highly iterative, analytical approach.

We’re looking for a Software Engineer to join our Development team in order to Build robust and scalable software for business critical, web-based applications. We speak Kotlin for services so developing new functionality in our core Kotlin based services as well as helping migrate C# services to the new Kotlin based microservice architecture. Our rich UIs are built in React and Typescript. Postgres is our preferred database engine and our infrastructure is entirely cloud based in GCP, defined with Terraform.

We like (and who doesn’t?) well tested and maintainable code. We sign up to the engineering principles of SOLID, DRY and ER modelling.

Our culture

Inclusion & Diversity is at the heart of our business at Ki. We recognise that diversity in age, race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, physical ability, thought and social background bring richness to our working environment. No matter who you are, where you’re from, how you think, or who you love, we believe you should be you.

You’ll get a highly competitive remuneration and benefits package. This is kept under constant review to make sure it stays relevant. We understand the power of saying thank you and take time to acknowledge and reward extraordinary effort by teams or individuals.
