Frontend Engineer

We're rebuilding insurance. For good.

We use machine learning, automation, our own technology stack and comprehensive data integrations to create products that are affordable, instant, and inclusive.

This is an ambitious journey and we've got a long-way to go. We started out as a 6-person team in an office no bigger than a cupboard, now we're a team of 60 and one of Europe’s fastest growing fintechs.

This role is sat in a cross-functional team including Product Managers, Designers, Full-stack Engineers, Frontend Engineers and Mobile Developers on our three products: Customer Account, Agent Portal and Sign-up Flow (with more to come). This role will allow you to take ownership over the direction and development of the customer experience from ideation through to building the proposed solution. This is a great opportunity for an ambitious engineer to make their mark on our codebase and help us scale an already up-to-date and attractive codebase!

As we scale both Product & Design and Frontend we are looking to bring these teams closer together with the mission to “bring delight to our customers”. So while you’ll have a home on a cross-functional team you’ll also be working closely with your colleagues in the frontend and counterparts in product and design.
