Are you keen to work somewhere that’s stimulating and friendly with countless opportunities for growth and plenty of freedom to make a real impact? This could be the place for you!

We are looking for a Software Engineer here at INSHUR. We are based in and around the NYC area but currently work remotely. Once safe, we will be transitioning to a hybrid model (a mix of office and home-based work with travel to a co-working space for in-person collaboration when needed - e.g. sprint planning, architecture meetings, team workshops etc).

You’ll be working on re-inventing insurance in exciting markets across multiple territories, including the US, UK, and the Netherlands, and new European countries and US states as we expand.

Reporting to the Engineering Manager, you'll be joining a friendly team of 5 who believe in developing high quality and scalable solutions.

We’ve got a great team in place and are a people & culture-first business (check out our Glassdoor reviews). We value high performance and have always cared about making INSHUR feel like a place where everyone is building something really special, that we can all be proud of, and doing it with friends.

What you'll do

As a Java Software Engineer you will be responsible for driving forward the software development cycle, helping to choose the right technologies for the problems and improving the overall architecture and functionality of the platform.

We don’t have a checklist of skills - our recruitment is much more around aptitude and passion so don’t worry if you’ve not used a particular tool or checked off all the skills and experience listed below. However, we think the below would make you successful in this role.

We'd love to hear from you if you:

  • Have plenty of experience developing in Java
  • Are knowledgeable about modern Java frameworks such as Spring Boot
  • Have experience designing and running API based software in containers
  • Understand that good communication and collaboration is needed to succeed
  • Are passionate about new technologies
  • Understand the value of working in scrum teams
  • Have ideally worked in a modern orchestration platform such as Kubernetes

Your colleagues say you:

  • Are diligent but pragmatic
  • Are always supportive and helpful
  • Are a self starter who can drive enthusiasm within the team
  • Play a part in mentoring, helping and educating colleagues, and on occasion help with recruiting other high performing members of the team.

What we offer

We provide a friendly and stimulating environment for everyone to grow, learn and thrive in. We operate in a hybrid of remote and office-based work and we encourage a flexible way of working to adapt to personal circumstances and individual and business needs.

We offer all our employees stock options and we've built a benefits package that invests in our employees’ long-term personal and professional growth and wellbeing. Here’s a sample of what this includes:

  • 30 days of holiday annually in addition to 8 federal holidays and statutory sick leave
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • Basic Life, short-term, and long-term disability insurance
  • 401K match
  • 13 weeks full pay parental leave regardless of your gender
  • Flexible working hours
  • Annual training allowance of $1300 (no questions asked) and regular learning opportunities
  • Commuter benefits
  • Monthly flexible wellbeing allowance to help you remain healthy and productive
  • And much more…

It goes without saying that we provide everyone with a laptop, monitor, top of the range kit and any software you need.

Where possible, we will cross-train and/or focus on what interests you, whether it’s improving your technical skills with books, courses and training or increasing your management abilities.

About Us

With a mission to make insurance fair & easy for everyone, we are committed to changing the way customers buy and feel about insurance, for good.

We are a global team of just over a hundred people based in the USA, UK, and the Netherlands, who value:

  • The delivery of great results and learning in the open
  • Freedom to make long-term, high-impact decisions
  • The wellbeing of their teammates and the people around them
  • Enjoying the ride

Founded in 2016, we are one of the fastest-growing and commercially proven Insurtech companies in the new insurance landscape. Working closely with globally recognised partners, we provide fully digital auto insurance for taxi, TLC, ride-share, delivery, private fleet and private hire drivers, enabling them to get from a quote to a full policy cover in the shortest possible time. Our products are currently live in the USA, UK, and the Netherlands and we have exciting plans to expand to new territories and add new product lines.

Equal opportunities

We believe that having a diverse team where everyone can be their authentic self is the key to our success. We are passionate about equal opportunities and improving the tech industry for the better, so we encourage people from underrepresented backgrounds to apply. We don't discriminate based on race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, marital status, disability, or age. Our offices, when open, are child-friendly and fully wheelchair-accessible.

While this position is advertised as full-time, we are flexible on the specific arrangements for the right candidate and would be happy to discuss part-time, job-share, or other flexible arrangements, if required. Let us know in your application if you have accessibility requirements for your interview and we will do our best to accommodate.
