Role
Who you are
- Experience using Kotlin / JVM technologies with Spring & Hibernate
- Understanding of Version Control Systems (VCS) and the principles behind them

- Have experience of a complete product development lifecycle (conception through to delivery)
What the job involves
- 2024 has been a big year for hyperexponential. Our profile is growing rapidly, and our customer base with it. We have tonnes of exciting features to develop and we want to deliver more of them in parallel, sooner, safer, than we've ever done before

- The Model Development Experience (MDX) Team’s mission is to empower our customers to build and iterate their models faster, easier and with advanced tooling to provide novel insights and assistance
- In addition to these new experiences, we are committed to improving our existing user flows and modularising our technical systems to reduce complex coupling with other teams
- Help us build the right thing by working with product managers, designers, fellow engineers and (sometimes) customers to understand problems and develop solutions
- Help us build the thing right by writing high-quality, thoughtful, simple, commented, documented, tested, well-structured code aligned to our constants, principles and standards
- Help drive our technical standards, decisions, and strategy
- Continually learn and improve yourself - experiment and play with new technologies through your work and hackathons
- Help reduce friction and eliminate impediments that slow us down
- Help your team and the company evolve our ways of working as we grow into new scales of operation
- Coordinate with other engineering teams to manage cross team dependencies and cooperate on Engineering-wide initiatives

Salary benchmarks
Our take
hyperexponential was created to provide modelling software to help people and businesses build, deploy and manage analytical models that work with small, sparse and fragmented datasets. Its goal is to make teams more agile, collaborate more deeply, and work more productively.
hyperexponential's pricing and data-driven decision-making software is built for the specialty and commercial insurance markets. The product has broad applications, but the company's initial focus is on specialty insurance, a sector the founders know well, having worked there for more than a decade.
hyperexponential currently works with 13 of the largest insurers in Europe and is growing fast. In addition, the company launched Renew Connect, a partnership programme which offers integrations between all the best-of-breed solutions for insurers like Insurdata and Inari, and ensures the data flows freely and consistently between them.
