Company mission
To make business insurance simple, fast and fair.
Role
Who you are
- You have an affinity and experience in backend development in NodeJS and Typescript. Experience in other languages helps to bring perspective
- You know your way around in React or Vue to some extent
- You prefer strongly typed and functional languages to simply know it works when the build says “ok”, with Clean Coding as your daily mantra
- You can demonstrate you created challenging software. Large-scale, applications beyond the 2,000-line textbook example. More than once
- DevOps experience, esp. Amazon Web Services (AWS), is a plus
- ML, big data experience won't hurt either
- You have an engineering degree (MSc or equivalent, PhD most welcome) in Computer Science or equivalent
- Given the insurtech domain, relevant experience in the insurance or finance industry is certainly a plus
What the job involves
- You will build out the heart of Insify: a fully automated platform to underwrite insurances, based on extensive data
- This is where rule engines, workflows, data feeds from external sources as well as our event-sourced web apps, web scraping and natural language processing come together
- Add machine learning algorithms such as clustering to the mix and the fun is complete
- This platform will be the day-to-day cockpit for our underwriters. So performance, UX, and quality of data will be as critical as for external customers
- You will be one of the early developers on this team, working with our automated quote funnel and customer portal teams
- Among others, you work with event-sourcing, serverless lambda functions in AWS, NoSQL databases, and big data
- You take full responsibility for the products you develop with the team and continuously improve and refactor to meet new business needs
- Apply your skills and talents to disrupt one of the biggest global industries. And show the world insurance can be fair, transparent, and trustworthy
- Work with our cutting-edge technology stack
- Work with very experienced and dedicated entrepreneurs
- Work in a start-up environment: scale rapidly, pick up your own initiatives, directly contribute to the bottom line, and grow with the team
- Enjoy a competitive salary, monthly dinners, and fun activities
- Remote working if you feel like, or in our hipster office in Amsterdam central
- Our Tech Stack:
- Frontend: React (Typescript)
- Backend: NodeJs (Typescript) AWS serverless
- Spolsky test: 10 out of 12, and continuously improving testing and CI/CD
Our take
Business insurance can be an expensive and over-complicated prospect for many companies, especially entrepreneurs and SMEs. Insify solves this problem using a suite of end-to-end digital insurance products.
Where many insurtechs have staked a claim in the consumer insurance market, Insify has maintained a laser-sharp focus on the B2B insurance space. In addition, it predominantly targets new companies, a group that have been generally underserved by insurance providers. This has served the company well, allowing it to raise impressive levels of funding.
Insify now covers over 1,500 professions, and has set its sights on expanding the range of services it offers - for example into life insurance products. This kind of agility will be important if Insify is intent on scaling at pace, and should help ensure it remains one to watch into the future.
