The role
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to play a key role in building and evolving our Risk Allocation platform, a core decision engine that determines how insurance risk is allocated across capital providers, syndicates, and strategies.

You will partner closely with Product, Development, Underwriting, and Actuarial to translate underwriting intent and business rules into robust, testable, and transparent software.

Work closely with other technology teams (internal and external), tech architects and business owners to refine requirements and translate business needs into IT solutions
Ensure there is an approach of continuous improvement and implementation of best practice
Create a supportive and rewarding working environment that aligns with the company culture as well as instilling a sense of ownership, accountability and technical excellence in the engineering team
Deliver long term technology effectiveness, simplicity of solutions and appropriate controls
Develop a thorough understanding of our industry and our products and services
