What the job involves
- We’re looking for curious Full Stack Software Engineers to help us accelerate and deliver our E2E pricing platform vision, by expanding on our modeling platform to provide a live-rating solution that will move our clients closer to their customers
- As a member of a growing task force responsible for the new offering/product, your main responsibility will be to participate in both the architecture and development of new features on the AKUR8 platform, where the business logic, on both the front- and back-ends, can be complex and the volume of processed data considerable
- Key differentiators such as performance, speed and user experience are integral to our software, making us proud of what we deliver and at the same time keeping us on our toes with a range of challenging technical topics, such as:
- Website responsiveness and modern UX/UI
- Async / concurrent processes
- Computation optimization, at times with very low-latency requirements
- Cross-region replication and platform resiliency, with zero-downtime data migrations
- You’ll also have the opportunity to contribute to and participate in internal workshops, to continuously improve the engineering culture at Akur8, and in the recruitment of new Engineering talents
- Our Engineering team is the driving force behind an exhilarating development journey, sculpting the gold standard in insurance pricing software according to our ambitious development roadmap
- Our back-end today runs on Python 3.11+/FastAPI/SQLAlchemy and uses PostgreSQL as its main storage solution. The front-end is developed on Angular 18, with NgRx & Tailwind, and we use Playwright for e2e test automation and Storybook for UI testing and documentation
- All of our infrastructure is maintained in Terraform and hosted on AWS, leveraging managed services for caching (Redis), messaging, storing/hosting Docker containers etc… We value developer experience and strive to remain on top of technology to open up possibilities for innovation
Our take
Putting the correct pricing on insurance has always been a challenge for insurers. Pricing too low can decimate profits, but pricing too high is a sure-fire way to drive off customers. Despite this importance of pricing, it has generally remained a human task, and therefore prone to errors and biases.
AKUR8 wants to change this, delivering an AI-based solution that automates pricing modelling for insurers, while maintaining the transparency and control required by regulators. By leveraging machine learning, the platform enhances insurers’ pricing processes, reducing modelling time whilst increasing predictive power.
Recently, AKUR8 has expanded its platform with Rate Repo and Deploy, providing a unified, end-to-end actuarial workflow from model creation to live deployment, and with AKUR8 Discover, integrating AI-driven market and regulatory intelligence from AMatrisk. These tools give insurers a single source of truth for pricing, faster operational deployment, and actionable insights from unstructured filing and competitive data.
Alongside this, the company is backed by some serious funding and a global expansion strategy. And now empowers insurers like AZA, Generalis, cementing its position as a next-generation, end-to-end actuarial platform.
