Position Overview

Each team has a technical lead and a product owner steering the team to make sure we deliver the right features. Regardless of team you join, you will be prototyping, implementing, shipping and supporting features that are changing the insurance industry.

The core of our product is to digitize risks and to accomplish that we rely heavily on Generative AI. Our engineering and product teams are distributed across Europe.
