## Description

Backend Software Engineer / Developer (Python C# AI) London / WFH to £100k

Are you a Backend Software Engineer with Python and / or C# coding skills combined with a strong knowledge of software engineering best practices and system design?

You could be joining a global reinsurance group, building the technology platform behind a diverse portfolio of insurance products used across its international businesses.

The technology team is small, agile and heavily focused on greenfield development, giving you the opportunity to have real influence over architecture, engineering practices and how AI is embedded into the software development lifecycle.

As a Backend Software Engineer, you'll be an individual contributor working primarily on backend and cloud-native development. A major part of the role will be exploring how AI can improve both engineering productivity and the products themselves - using tools such as Claude alongside strong software design principles, patterns and engineering best practice.
