Ada Meher are currently working with a Digital-First Insurance business as they recruit an R&D Engineer to join their Innovations Team. This team is responsible for seeking out opportunities across the business to implement new technology to optimise operations and delivery. As such, you’d be joining colleagues from multiple disciplines, such as data analytics & operations, and be responsible for building out POCs and approved project work.

The wider project delivery development teams in the business use a PHP/Laravel/Vue stack and therefore a lot of the build will be focused in this area, and as such the successful applicant will have skills in this area. However, there is also an appetite to look at emerging technologies and AI enablement in this role, so the successful candidate will also have a curiosity and desire to look at technologies outside of this core stack.

Based in Doncaster the company operate a hybrid model, with the development team coming into the office 1-2 days per week, as such candidates should be based within a commutable distance of Doncaster and willing to travel into the office.

• Previous experience in a Research & Development focused role
• Experience with OOP PHP and MVC Frameworks (ideally Laravel)
• Experience with Software Optimisations
• Any experience with AI/Python would be a benefit

The company in question is a market leader in the Insurance sector with the technology they work on and the boundaries they try to push. They also aspire to create a relaxed environment where people can work on forward thinking technology solutions.

This R&D Engineer role is attracting a high number of applicants at the moment so be sure to get in contact ASAP or send a CV to [e-mail] to avoid missing out!
