Senior Software Engineer – AI Innovation Lab

Strong bonus, and benefits package.

London, hybrid working.

We’re partnering exclusively with a leading global InsurTech Scaleup business as they continue to build out a newly established Innovation lab, a dedicated team focused on applying AI and machine learning to solve valuable business problems across the organisation.

This is a hands-on Software Engineering role, part of a growing team, where you’ll work closely with stakeholders across the business to reimagine Insurance and InsurTech systems using modern tools and cloud-native architecture.

You’ll be building from the ground up in a greenfield environment, using technologies like Python, TypeScript, FastAPI, AWS and some Azure while contributing to projects that have direct commercial impact.

Why this role?

• A rare opportunity to work at the forefront of AI in a global, high-impact industry
• Build solutions end-to-end, from architecture and prototyping to production
• Collaborate directly with business users to shape what gets built

The ideal profile:

• 6+ years’ engineering experience, with strong backend skills (TypeScript, Python)
• Familiar with modern cloud platforms (AWS or Azure), microservices, and infrastructure as code
• Comfortable working closely with stakeholders and leading on tech decisions
• Pragmatic, product-minded and always looking to solve real-world problems with elegant solutions
• Bonus: experience with LLMs, agent-based systems, or front-end tools like React/d3
