Company mission
To make business insurance simple, fast and fair.
Role
Who you are
- You have an affinity and experience in backend development in Node.js with Typescript. Experience in other languages is always a plus!
- 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 Large-scale applications beyond the 2,000-line textbook example. Preferably more than once
Desirable
- Know your way around React (or Vue)
- Have DevOps experience, we use the AWS suite
- Have Machine Learning or big data experience
- Have fintech or even more relevant, insurtech experience
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 amazing UX, rule engines, workflows, data feeds from external sources as well as our event-sourced web applications come together
- 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
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.
