Job Description

Were doing things a little differently. Want to join us on our journey, to help us grow? Founded in 2017 by our CEO, James, and CTO, Callum, were an award winning, technology start-up, based in Hammersmith. With a mission to give people fairer car insurance, in the face of a 15 billion industry, weve built the UKs first real-time pay-by-mile car insurance policies. Through a smart driving app, were bringing the same level of on-demand convenience to car ownership that people now expect from taxis and take-away food. We believe people who drive less should pay less. So, weve done away with the old way and created pay-as-you-go car insurance. Its as simple as that. Our Tech Teams backgrounds are varied, from landscape gardening to photography. While some have a degree, others have come from academy courses such as Makers and General Assembly. However, what we all hold in common is a passion for technology and building an awesome product for our members. And not to brag, but weve won a fair few awards, including Best Insurance App for 2019, and we were ranked 46th in the 2019 Startups 100 index and 27th in the global Insurtech 100 index published by Tllt Ventures & the Insurance Post.

You will have the opportunity to design, build and maintain highly available platforms in AWS to empower our technology and product teams to continue delivering high-quality products and services that process millions of quotes and insured miles per month. From configuring and deploying new infrastructure, supporting third party integrations to maintaining and scaling our CI/CD platform as a service and developer productivity, we work at pace. Last year, we raised over 4000 PRs, deploy to production multiple times a day, service 10,000s of customers and millions of journeys. Youll be given the responsibility for ensuring confidentiality of customer data while supporting organisational pace and innovation in a highly regulated industry.
