Job description

Fidamy Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands

Senior Software Engineer

Fidamy is an embedded insurance operator. We embed innovative non-life insurance products into our partners' digital and physical customer journeys, helping them generate additional revenue and build stronger customer loyalty.

Our engineering team builds the infrastructure behind these embedded insurance propositions. They make it possible for our partners to offer insurance through clean integrations and reliable production systems. It is a technically hard problem in a regulated, data-heavy domain dominated by legacy platforms. That is exactly why the opportunity is so big. If you can make insurance integration fast, secure, and developer-friendly, you unlock a huge market.

Our mission is to replace brittle insurance technology with modern software that scales. We work on real production systems where correctness, security, and performance are non-negotiable.

Backed by NN Ventures, we operate as a small, high-trust engineering team. Engineers here own architecture, shape product decisions, and build software designed to last.

Why now?

The market for embedded insurance is projected to grow from 1% to 16% of global insurance spend by 2032. It is a $3 trillion opportunity, and we intend to play a big role in it.

What you'll do

• Build and ship product experiences that let partners integrate insurance into their customer journeys in days, not months.
• Design and evolve backend services and APIs that handle underwriting, pricing, policy issuance, and claims workflows reliably and securely.
• Own features end to end, from architecture and implementation to deployment, monitoring, and iteration in production.
• Improve reliability and performance across distributed systems by debugging real-world issues and hardening systems for enterprise-grade uptime.
• Work closely with our cloud engineering lead to scale our AWS infrastructure, improve observability, and automate operations.
• Shape the technical roadmap through design reviews, pragmatic trade-offs, and high-quality engineering standards.
• Mentor other engineers through thoughtful code reviews, pairing, and raising the bar for engineering quality.
• Languages: TypeScript
• Frontend: Next.js (React)
• Observability & Monitoring: New Relic
• Data & AI: Databricks, AWS Bedrock
• Version Control & CI/CD: GitHub (Actions)

Our culture

• Move the Needle: Build systems that drive real impact for partners and their customers. Focus on outcomes over process.
• Master Your Craft: Deep focus time for quality work, balanced with knowledge sharing and emerging tech exploration.
• Customer Obsession: Direct collaboration with partners to understand and solve their technical challenges.
• Be Different: Challenge traditional insurance tech while maintaining enterprise-grade reliability.
• Thrive Together: Fast-paced innovation balanced with thoughtful execution in a collaborative environment.

What we're looking for

• Strong experience building and shipping production systems with TypeScript, React, and Next.js.
• Comfortable working across frontend and backend, including Node.js services and APIs.
• Practical experience designing and operating AWS-based systems.
• Proven ability to own and drive technical work from requirements through to delivery.
• Strong system design instincts and comfort making architecture trade-offs.
• Proactive, pragmatic problem-solver who takes responsibility for outcomes.
• Clear communicator who works well in a small team and can collaborate directly with partners.
• Based in or near Amsterdam.
• Competitive compensation (including stock options)
• Brand new MacBook Pro and equipment
• Flexible hybrid work (2 to 3 days in the office)
• Beautiful office in Amsterdam
• High ownership and autonomy with real influence on architecture and product direction
• Direct impact on product strategy and partner delivery
• Work directly with leadership and customers

Ready to join us?

We’re building an inclusive team and encourage candidates from all backgrounds to apply. Even if you do not meet all requirements but are excited about the role, we’d love to hear from you. What matters most is your excitement for the role and your drive to innovate, take ownership, and help us build the future of insurance.
