Jobbeschreibung

At the company, we are transforming how insurers and pension providers serve millions of customers and participants across Europe. As the leading European SaaS provider for the insurance and pension industry, we are investing heavily in AI capabilities that help our customers work smarter, faster, and more efficiently.

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer (AI & Orchestration) to help turn innovative ideas into scalable, production-ready solutions. In this role, you will combine strong backend engineering expertise with architectural thinking, helping shape the technical foundations that enable AI capabilities across the company. If you enjoy solving complex technical challenges, investigating new technologies, and turning prototypes into reliable software, we'd like to meet you.

Key about your role

As a Senior Software Engineer (AI & Orchestration), you will play a key role in turning innovative ideas into scalable, production-ready solutions. While you will be part of the company's AI team, your focus will be on the backend services, integrations, and platform capabilities that enable AI-powered functionality across our products.

Working closely with architects, software engineers, and AI specialists, you will investigate new technologies, validate architectural approaches, and develop prototypes that help shape technical direction across the company. You will be trusted to take ownership of complex technical challenges, translating open questions into practical recommendations and working solutions.

You will design and build backend services that support AI capabilities and their integration into the company's core systems. This includes developing scalable APIs, integration services, and cloud-native applications using technologies such as Java, Spring Boot, Python, Azure, and modern development tooling. You will contribute to architectural discussions around distributed systems, event-driven integration patterns, security, observability, and platform engineering, helping ensure solutions are scalable, secure, and reliable in production.

As a senior engineer, you will actively mentor colleagues, contribute to design discussions, and help raise engineering standards through code reviews, knowledge sharing, and technical leadership. This role offers the opportunity to influence technical direction across the company while growing towards broader architectural responsibilities over time.

Key about your team

You will join the company's AI team, a growing group focused on enabling and accelerating AI innovation across the organization. The team works closely with product development teams, architects, and engineering specialists to explore new opportunities and deliver AI-powered capabilities that create value for our customers.

The team combines experimentation with engineering discipline. New ideas are encouraged, but success is measured by the ability to turn those ideas into reliable, maintainable solutions that can operate at scale. You will work with experienced colleagues who enjoy solving challenging technical problems and sharing knowledge across the organization.

Requirements

You enjoy solving complex technical challenges and are comfortable working in environments where not every answer is known upfront. You combine strong software engineering fundamentals with curiosity, pragmatism, and a desire to continuously improve both technology and ways of working.

You bring:

• At least 5 years of professional software development experience;
• Experience developing services and integrations using Python;
• Experience designing and developing scalable software solutions in cloud-based environments, preferably within Microsoft Azure;
• A solid understanding of distributed systems, API design, integration patterns, and event-driven architectures;
• Experience designing and securing REST APIs, including authentication and authorization standards such as OAuth2 and OpenID Connect;
• Experience leading technical investigations, proof of concepts, or prototypes and translating findings into practical recommendations;
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills;
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to different audiences;
• A collaborative mindset and passion for mentoring and knowledge sharing;
• Fluency in English, both written and spoken.

It would be great if you also have experience with technologies and concepts such as Java, Kubernetes, Docker, Kafka, Azure Service Bus, AI-enabled development tools, or AI platform technologies. Experience within a regulated environment such as insurance, pensions, banking, or financial services is considered a plus.

A Certificate of Conduct (VOG) and reference check are part of the application process.

Each employee within the company must follow training on information security and, irrespective of the role, basic information security responsibilities apply.
