About Aflac
While Aflac are a Fortune 500 U.S. company and one of the largest brands in the US and Japan, there is a very good chance you’ve not heard of us (yet). Here’s the deal: We help people cover medical expenses beyond their standard health insurance, and when they come to us they really need us. So, in Belfast, we’ve been building great technology since 2019 to support our customers in their time of need.

- Provide best practice, shift-left coaching to developers to promote defensive coding habits.
- Facilitate example mapping sessions to help build complete picture of user story requirements.
- Contribute to the creation and maintenance of CI/CD pipelines.
