Referment
Referment is working with a fast-growing short-term insurance provider that makes car insurance flexible, quick and easy for drivers, part of a larger group of UK comparison and financial brands. The company is overhauling its systems to modernise and power the next generation of its technology, and this Senior Software Engineer will help shape that journey with genuine ownership and impact.
The Role
You will evolve, enhance and modernise large-scale insurance systems, both public-facing and internal, driving the adoption of Go and improving the performance, reliability and scalability of the systems. You will develop automation for deployment, monitoring and scaling of infrastructure, and build the tools and processes that enable continuous integration and delivery. A solid understanding of platform and reliability engineering approaches, including observability, performance optimisation, analytics and security best practices, underpins the role. You will also facilitate collaboration between teams, mentor more junior engineers on coding standards and troubleshooting, and help build a culture of continuous improvement.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What We're Looking For
- The highest level of proficiency developing applications, with strong Golang knowledge and experience
- Experience with AWS products such as Lambdas and DynamoDB, and comfort working in Azure and Azure DevOps environments
- Containerisation and infrastructure-as-code approaches (Terraform and SST are a plus)
- A good understanding of development methodologies and design patterns
- Useful extras: C# ASP.NET or.NET Core, Cloudflare, and experience with React, TypeScript, Astro or Node.js

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You do not need to tick every box on this list, and the employer would rather you applied and kept learning than held back.
This role is hybrid: two days a week in the London office and roughly once a month at the Fleet office.
This could suit a senior backend engineer who enjoys modernising core systems in a high-growth insurtech and mentoring others, rather than waiting for perfectly specified work.
“It took my CV and asked me questions relevant to understanding what kind of jobs to suggest for me. Suggestions were almost perfect. Jobs were exactly what I’ve been looking for.”
