Engineering Lead
Drive direct growth at a high scale insurtech pioneer
Location: London (Hybrid, 3 days per week in office)
Salary: £100,000 to £125,000
The Opportunity
Traditional insurance reacts to accidents after they happen. This fast-growing scale-up is changing that by using real-time, data-driven insights to prevent accidents before they occur.
Backed by more than £50 million in funding and approaching one billion connected, insured miles, the business is building the next-generation insurance platform for connected and autonomous vehicle fleets.
To support its next phase of growth, the company is launching a dedicated Acquisition Team. This team is responsible for building the products and systems that enable global delivery, logistics, and ride-hailing businesses to onboard and scale on the platform.
As the Engineering Lead, you'll play a pivotal role in driving technical delivery, shaping architecture, and developing engineers while remaining hands-on with coding.
What You'll Be Doing
You'll partner closely with a Product Manager to lead the Acquisition Team, balancing technical leadership with hands-on software engineering.
