Job description

At Acturis, innovation isn’t just part of our culture - it’s in our DNA.

Our story began in 2000 in the garden shed of our co-founder, Theo Duchen, who, alongside fellow former McKinsey partner David McDonald, set out to reinvent insurance technology. What started as a bold start-up idea has grown into a global SaaS leader trusted by the industry.

Today, over 100,000 users across 40+ countries rely on the Acturis platform. By working closely with brokers, insurers, and MGAs, we continue to shape the market and drive new standards across both personal and commercial lines.

Acturis is proud to be recognised as a Great Place to Work® 2026 and to maintain a collaborative, innovative, start-up-style culture, even as we scale globally. With over 90% of our hires coming from graduate backgrounds, this is a place built for early-career talent to thrive. And as an EcoVadis Committed-rated organisation, we focus on creating long‑term value by operating in a sustainable and responsible way.

Day to day you will:

• Develop and enhance innovative software solutions, building new features for desktop applications, APIs, websites and internal tools using modern C# and .NET technologies, supported by AI-powered development tools and industry-standard software engineering practices.
• Collaborate with experienced international development teams, working closely with developers and business analysts to deliver high-quality solutions while participating in code reviews, pair programming and knowledge‑sharing initiatives.
• Accelerate your growth through structured training and mentoring, gaining hands‑on experience, dedicated support from senior developers, ownership of real projects, and access to comprehensive technical learning resources.

We offer mentorship from day one, a clear progression path, and real responsibility early on, because we’ve built an environment where graduates grow fast and make meaningful impact.

You can expect:

• A transparent career structure, regular feedback, and 3 formal performance reviews annually
• Opportunities to lead projects, manage resources, and mentor junior team members.
• Intensive onboarding, industry-recognised training, and funded specialist courses as you progress.

You'll thrive here if you:

• Have (or expect) a 2:1+ in a STEM degree and strong A-levels (AAB minimum, including an A in Maths).
• Passionate about software development, with evidence of coding experience through academic, personal or professional projects, and a proactive approach to learning new technologies, including AI-powered development tools.
• Strong collaborator and problem solver, with excellent attention to detail, the ability to learn independently, and clear communication skills to work effectively across distributed and international teams.

Join Acturis and build a career where you’ll grow quickly, innovate boldly, and work alongside some of the brightest people in the industry.
