Descrição da oferta de emprego

Offices: Portugal, Bulgaria, Georgia and Switzerland,

You will join a high‑performing international team developing Actus, Solveva’s ambitious product suite for the insurance and reinsurance industry.

About the product

Actus is an incredibly versatile software development platform built entirely on Solveva IP with versioned cloud storage, a scalable backend supporting many languages (Python, TypeScript…), and the Actus Low‑Code Programming Solution (ALPS). The latter enables the AI‑assisted creation of production‑grade user interfaces, allowing complex business logic to be expressed cleanly and maintained efficiently.

We use Actus to support core (re)insurance processes from submission through pricing to quote (and beyond). The software continues to evolve rapidly alongside our growing client base.

The platform is built using TypeScript across the full stack:

• Frontend: React
• Actuarial and quantitative algorithms: TypeScript and Python

About the role

This role sits at the intersection of actuarial science, low‑code application development, and client delivery. You will use Actus to design and build production‑grade applications for loss modelling, pricing, reserving, capital modelling, portfolio analysis, and more.

You will work across frontend and backend, combining actuarial domain knowledge with modern software engineering to deliver robust, auditable, and scalable solutions used in live client environments. Our platform handles much of the technical overhead, so your day‑to‑day focus will be on business logic, actuarial methodology, and solution design rather than low‑level coding.

Your responsibilities

You will work closely with product owners, development teams, and clients. This close collaboration is a key strength of Solveva and a major driver of innovation in our field.

We hire at different levels of seniority and adapt the scope of the role accordingly. Whether you are an experienced specialist ready to lead complex client engagements, a mid‑career professional looking to deepen your actuarial technology skills, or a highly motivated junior eager to build deep expertise in a supportive environment, we want to hear from you. You do not need to cover all the following aspects from day one — we are committed to your professional growth:

• Developing and extending Solveva’s flagship actuarial and underwriting applications using our low‑code, AI‑enhanced platform. Development in our environment is significantly faster than in traditional approaches, allowing you to focus on business logic rather than technical overhead.
• Creating fully client‑specific, production‑ready solutions based on our core suite.
• Designing and implementing both frontend user interfaces and backend logic using ALPS and TypeScript/Python.
• Supporting business development activities with technical and actuarial expertise.
• Assisting clients in implementing and extending their own solutions using our products.
• Representing Solveva in client meetings with technical and business stakeholders.
• Staying current with developments in actuarial methods and software engineering.
• Contributing to product development through business analysis: capturing, prioritising, and explaining requirements from clients, product owners, and management.
• Acting as a first point of contact for developers on questions related to business value and domain logic.

Your skills and experience

You will have substantial exposure to both Solveva colleagues and clients. Your mindset and working style should therefore align with Solveva’s culture:

• You enjoy working in collaborative, cross‑functional teams.
• You care deeply about quality and take pride in well‑designed, robust solutions.
• You are a strong analytical thinker.
• You engage openly in discussions — the best idea wins.
• You can empathise with clients, ask the right questions, and manage expectations.
• You are able to translate client and product visions into clear stories and tasks for development teams.
• You take personal responsibility for delivery.
• You are comfortable working with incomplete or evolving requirements and see them as creative challenges.
• You value clear documentation and long‑term maintainability.
• You are happy to incorporate client‑specific requirements — every client’s business is mission‑critical and slightly different.

On this foundation, the following experience will set you up for success:

• Experience in quantitative roles within (preferably non‑life) insurance or reinsurance, such as underwriting, reserving, pricing, regulatory reporting, or solvency calculations. This could range from early career with strong foundations and a steep learning curve to senior level with deep domain expertise — what matters most is your analytical ability and your drive to grow.
• A solid understanding of software development principles and programming paradigms. Experience with Python is a plus.
• An actuarial qualification is a plus.
• Familiarity with agile development methodologies (SAFe is a plus).

Why you’ll enjoy working at Solveva

• Over 90% of our employees would recommend Solveva as a place to work
• We are an owner‑managed company — our management keeps its promises
• Small, expert teams working in a friendly and supportive environment
• Flat hierarchies and minimal bureaucracy
• A culture of trust with flexibility for remote, office, or hybrid work
• A personal budget for further education, equipment, or health‑related benefits
• Choice of hardware: Windows or Mac
