Software Engineering Team Lead
Insly is a no-code insurance SaaS software provider with a global reach. With HQ in London and offices in Tallinn and Warsaw, Insly has grown fast and is backed by well-known investors.
Our mission is to digitalise and connect the $4 trillion insurance industry in order to reduce the cost of insurance for customers and help them access better insurance services.
1000+ insurance brokers and 50+ underwriting companies log into Insly every day to design and launch their insurance products, manage business-critical operations and support writing over €1bn in premiums. But we’re just getting started.
We are looking for a highly motivated Software Engineering Team Lead to lead our development team technically and bring enterprise-level engineering practices to how we design, build and deliver our insurance platforms. You'll set the technical direction, keep standards high and make sure our systems stay reliable, secure and current.
Responsibilities
- Develop and deliver as a senior member of the team: build features, fix bugs and take part fully in sprints and project work
- Lead the team's technical direction by suggesting improvements to architecture, standards and ways of working, as well as delivering tickets
- Work with the Project Manager to plan, prioritise and manage the development team's work
- Write technical specifications and review designs and code
- Represent the company on technical calls with clients and partners
- Balance client work against maintenance, upgrades and technical debt
- Mentor developers and support the team's growth
- Report to the Head of Engineering and act on their feedback
