My clients are a market leading insurance provider based in the City.
They have a collaborative and dynamic business where idea sharing is actively encouraged. Effort and dedication are recognised and rewarded, and staff are encouraged to advance their careers, whether that is into management roles, or more specialised areas of industry. In aid of this they also have a fantastic Learning and Development programme available to all their employees.
They pride themselves on running a fun, relaxed, open and honest environment to work within. Here you can expect both a respect for professionalism and an understanding of the importance of work life balance. For this reason they offer team members a flexible approach to working hours and options to work from home.

You will be joining a team embarking on a completely refreshed domain model for 2019. Their technology is at the heart of their business model, and is something they're passionate about staying ahead of the curve on, with continuous investment in that area. Over the last 7 years they have re-platformed several times and are in the process of doing so again.
They keep the time spent in meetings minimal, and a Kanban approach allows for a continuous hands-on delivery!

The team:
You'll be working alongside a collaborative bunch of approachable developers. Collectively they share many years of expertise and a broad range of knowledge across any domains.
