The posting

Who are we?👋

Look at the latest headlines and you will see something Ki insures. Think space shuttles, world tours, wind farms, and even footballers’ legs.

Ki’s mission is simple. Digitally disrupt and revolutionise a 335-year-old market. Working with Google and UCL, Ki has created a platform that uses algorithms, machine learning and large language models to give insurance brokers quotes in seconds, rather than days.

Ki is proudly the biggest global algorithmic insurance carrier. It is the fastest growing syndicate in the Lloyd's of London market, and the first ever to make $100m in profit in 3 years.

Ki’s teams have varied backgrounds and work together in an agile, cross-functional way to build the very best experience for its customers. Ki has big ambitions but needs more excellent minds to challenge the status-quo and help it reach new horizons.

Where you come in?

We’re looking for a Full-stack Engineer to join our development team.

The Ki platform is the core technology crucial to our success — allowing us to evolve underwriting intelligently and unlock massive scale.

We’re a multi-disciplined team, bringing together expertise in software and data engineering, full-stack development, platform operations, algorithm research, and data science. Our squads focus on delivering high-impact features, and we favour a highly iterative, analytical approach.

What you will be doing: 🖋️

  • Build robust and scalable software for business critical, web-based applications
  • Build eye-catching, functional, efficient, and reusable web and mobile-based sites that drive these web applications
  • Design, build, test, document and maintain API’s and integrations
  • Ensure quality control using industry standard techniques such as automated testing, pairing, and code review
  • Work with the Product team to understand end-user requirements and translate them into an effective technical solution
  • Document technical design and analysis work
  • Assess current system architecture and identify opportunities for growth and improvement
  • Build mock-ups or prototypes to explore and troubleshoot new initiatives
  • Work with the Product team and UX designers to review designs, implement new features, and ensure user experience is top level
  • Explore new ideas and emerging technologies, develop prototypes quickly
  • Uphold the engineering team’s principles and ways of working

What to expect during the recruitment process:

1) Initial recruiter screening call

2) Interview with hiring manager

3) Technical Interview (this may vary depending on the role)

4) Values Interview

Requirements

  • Experience as a mid-senior level engineer working across a modern web stack
  • Experience with software engineering principles (SOLID, DRY, ER modelling)
  • Professional experience with a server-side language, ideally JVM based
  • Professional experience building web-based single page applications, using React/Typescript or an equivalent
  • Knowledge of front-end development, able to build rich user interfaces following a responsive design
  • Comfortable working with cloud infrastructure, infrastructure as code, familiar with standard logging and monitoring tools used to investigate issues
  • Experience with continuous integration, or ideally, continuous delivery
  • Comfortable with build tools (e.g. Maven) and version control tools (e.g. Git/Github)
  • Experience working in agile teams, following Scrum or Kanban, participating in regular ceremonies including stand-ups, planning, and retrospectives
  • Experience using project management and workflow tools (e.g. Jira)
  • Exceptional interpersonal skills, including teamwork, facilitation, negotiation and planning
  • Ability to quickly comprehend the functions and capabilities of new technologies

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.
