The posting

About Pikl

Pikl is on a mission to enable the growth of digital marketplaces, starting with vacation rentals. We design and deliver insurance-enabled solutions that help platforms, property managers and owners unlock new revenue and deliver better customer experiences.

Founded in 2016, we began by protecting individual hosts and homeowners with specialist holiday-let cover. That experience now powers our insurance-enabled products, which increase participation, lift conversion and drive revenue across the marketplace value chain: platforms, homeowners and guests.

With offices in Norwich and London, and plans for international expansion, we work with some of the most recognised brands in travel as well as major insurance aggregators.

About the Role: We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to build and run the systems behind Pikl's insurance products and partner integrations.

Working collaboratively with Product and Platform colleagues, you'll work in a modern TypeScript stack: Next.js, React, Express, MySQL, and AWS. You'll own major services and features from data model to deployment, and you'll help shape how we build and scale the platform as it grows.

You will:

- Design and implement backend services and APIs in Express and TypeScript. Build reliable, maintainable, and well-structured services that integrate cleanly with our broader platform.

- Contribute to and influence our Next.js and React applications. Work closely with frontend engineers to ensure a cohesive full-stack experience.

- Own significant technical components end to end. From data modelling in MySQL to deployment on AWS, you will be accountable for quality and long-term maintainability.

- Use AI tools as part of your everyday engineering. Apply AI tooling to design, implementation, testing, and debugging, while remaining accountable for the quality, security, and maintainability of what you ship.

- Help us build agentic workflows for the engineering team. Contribute ideas and implementations that automate repetitive work with sensible guardrails and human oversight.

- Make thoughtful technical decisions within our stack. Help define patterns for service structure, state management, data access, and testing.

- Review and improve system design. Provide guidance on performance, reliability, and scalability in a cloud-based environment.

About You

- Strong hands-on experience with TypeScript and backend development. Ideally with Express or a similar Node.js framework.

- Experience designing and building APIs and services that use relational databases. Comfort working with MySQL, schema design, and query performance.

- Familiarity with AWS. Experience working with services such as EC2, ECS, RDS, S3, Lambda, or similar is preferred.

- Experience working in a modern JavaScript/TypeScript frontend environment. Familiarity with React or Next.js is a strong plus.

- Practical experience using AI coding tools in your day-to-day work. You can talk about where they help, where they fall short, and how you check their output.

- Ability to translate business needs into technical solutions. You can work effectively with product and non-technical stakeholders.

Bonus points for:

- Experience building or scaling production Next.js applications.

- Background in integrations with external platforms or carrier systems.

- Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform or AWS CDK.

- Experience building agentic workflows or automations to improve engineering productivity.

We Welcome Non Traditional Pathways:

Not everyone follows the same path, and we believe that is a strength. Maybe you did not earn a traditional Computer Science degree. Maybe you transitioned into engineering from another field. Maybe you built your skills through open-source contributions, bootcamps, startups, or sheer curiosity and persistence.

If you have designed resilient systems, led technical decisions, or built things people rely on, we want to hear your story regardless of how you got here.

If you are unsure whether you meet every qualification, do not self-select out. Talent and impact come from many backgrounds, and we are more interested in your ability to think, architect, and lead than in checking every conventional box.

Our Values

Possibility

We think big and are fearless in turning challenges into opportunities. We stay curious, test ideas and learn quickly.

People

We put people first, building relationships rooted in empathy and trust. We respect, include, and learn from one another. We celebrate progress.

Progress

We unlock growth opportunities for our customers and each other yet make it our personal responsibility to own actions and see them through.

Why work at Pikl

- Hybrid & Flexible working set up

- Access to an incredible working space in Norwich and London

- Annual leave entitlement of 28 days, plus bank holidays

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
