Who you are

Ability to operate effectively under ambiguity and navigate dynamic environments
Strong communication and collaboration skills

What the job involves

Design, implement and optimize backend services that support AI workflows
Integrate ML and LLM models into production systems with focus on performance, reliability and scalability

Contribute to system design, architecture reviews and code quality improvements

Our take

Next Insurance serves small businesses by making it much simpler to take out an insurance policy without the headache associated with many providers. To begin trading any business needs to have some sort of insurance policy in place, traditional offerings can take weeks, often requiring tedious paperwork.

Next Insurance has opted to use AI, machine learning and transparent language to make the process much simpler, and it can take just five to ten minutes for customers to obtain a package that suits them.

While Next Insurance is facing established insurance companies such as Hiscox and State Farm, its partnership with Amazon Business Prime to insure its members in a move to target traditionally underserved insurance customers and more recently with LegalZoom, to simplify the insurance process, as well as its nearly half a million customers has the company well set to remain major player in the space.
