About Brit

At Brit, we believe that the uncertainty of the future should never stand in the way of progress. That’s why we exist. To help people and businesses face the future and thrive. We are change‑makers enabled by a global workforce who collaborate to deliver a risk service. A team empowered to help our customers not only to survive the risks they face, but to stay on the front foot and keep moving forward.

What you’ll be doing

As a Senior Analytics Engineer, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping the future of our actuarial data capabilities. You’ll lead the development of robust, scalable data pipelines and architectures that underpin our analytical work, ensuring they’re built to last and ready to evolve.

Collaboration will be at the heart of your role. You’ll work hand‑in‑hand with actuarial SMEs, product teams and fellow engineers to deliver pragmatic solutions to real business challenges. You’ll help foster a culture of knowledge sharing, inclusivity and innovation, ensuring our team continues to thrive and deliver value across the business.
