This is your opportunity to join a high-performing, international team in the development of Actus, an ambitious product suite for the insurance and reinsurance industry.
About the project
Actus is a highly customizable, modular application, designed to run multiple services related to core (re-)insurance processes like loss modelling, pricing, and capital modelling, fully built with Solveva IP. The frontend and backend tech stack is primarily TypeScript (React, NodeJS, Express, NestJS). Both TypeScript and Python can be used for implementing actuarial algorithms. The scope of the application and the client base is increasing quickly, and the ideal candidate will architect new features and functionality in a secure and scalable way.
Your collaboration matters
According to your seniority, you will significantly contribute to the further development of our software. This requires that your personality and work attitude fit from the start.
You enjoy teamwork.
You engage openly in technical discussions. Diversity of thought leads to ultimately better solutions, and the best ideas will be supported by your team.
You take personal responsibility for delivery.
You can deal with somewhat vague stories (we create new things, after all) and see them as creative challenges.
You take the overall software architecture into account whenever you implement a feature.
You want to understand how your code helps our insurance clients.
You are happy to incorporate the client’s input for their specific implementation. Knowing that our solutions are at the heart of each client’s business, we understand and accept that each heart is a bit different.
Please do not apply if you think those requirements are just nice-to-have. They are pivotal for this role.
What you will be doing
Developing generic solutions for the low-code platform’s core functionality
Integrating those solutions with client systems
Creating new features in the existing data service
Sharing your own ideas for improvements and enhancements, and turning these ideas into reality together with your team
Your skills and experience
Bachelor’s or master’s degree in an IT-related field or an equivalent practical track record
Strong analytical capabilities
Sound knowledge of Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
Recent professional experience with TypeScript, Node.js, NestJS, GraphQL, MongoDB
Experience in testing systems at the unit level and end-to-end (Jest, Mocha)
Commitment to product quality, knowledge of testing approaches, code verification and analysis, and design patterns
Eagerness to solve complex problems by breaking them down into meaningful, well-planned steps
Proficiency in English (minimum B2 level)
Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, Azure DevOps, as well as Kafka or other message brokers will be an advantage
