Job description

At the company, innovation isn’t just part of our culture — it’s in our DNA.

Our journey began in 2000 in the garden shed of our co‑founder, Theo Duchen, who—together with fellow former McKinsey partner David McDonald—set out to reinvent insurance technology. From those start‑up beginnings, the company has grown into a global SaaS leader transforming the insurance industry.

Today, our over 100,000 users in 40+ countries rely on our platform to run and grow their businesses. By partnering closely with brokers, insurers, and MGAs, we continue to shape modern insurance across both personal and commercial lines.

We offer structured development, clear progression, and genuine ownership—whether that means leading projects, shaping strategy, or mentoring others. You’ll work in a collaborative environment where strong performers progress quickly.

You can expect

• A transparent progression structure, regular feedback, and annual performance reviews.
• Opportunities to contribute to platform strategy, improve engineering standards, and influence how our technology platforms evolve.
