We need is you: a brilliant and ambitious Senior Full-stack Developer to help us bring our product to the world.

**About You:**

Insurance is the single biggest industry in the world – there are more insurance policies than people. But seven in ten people feel their insurer is actively trying to cheat them, and only 13% say they actually trust their insurer - and that’s according to the industry’s own representative body, the ABI. It consistently ranks as one of the least trusted, least recommendable industries on the planet. How can such a massive, ubiquitous thing be so fundamentally broken?

We believe we can do better. We're building smart insurance – insurance that's exciting, intuitive, rewarding, and there for you every day, not just if you need a pay-out. Insurance that works with you to actively protect the things you care about, instead of just sitting back and waiting for bad things to happen. It’s everything your old insurance isn’t.

We’re an ambitious, exciting pretty young company with an amazing product. We’ve got a carefully picked team of exceptionally driven, motivated people. We’ve got offices in London and Poland (Lodz), and world-class talent remoting in from all over the world. Now, all we need is you: a brilliant and ambitious Senior Full-stack Developer to help us bring our product to the world.

You need to be bright, have excellent communication skills (in English) and be able to work under pressure while still maintaining a positive attitude to everyone around you. 

We’re a start up, which means we’re moving very fast and working very hard – and this is a busy role working with a lot of mission-critical projects that must be attended to concurrently.
