Lead Software Engineer iptiQ EMEA L&H

You will be the Lead Software Engineer for the technology platform within the iptiQ EMEA Technology & Operations department. This is a rare opportunity to join a new business unit within an established company; combining the dynamic spirit of a startup with the backing of Swiss Re's strong organisation.

As the lead software engineer, you will work closely in multi-functional teams to shape the technology platform that fulfill our business and product vision and ultimately bring value to our customers and partners by disrupting the traditional insurance proposition. This will require seeking complex problems within a distributed infrastructure by designing, implementing and testing simple, scalable, reliable and configurable solutions.

Your responsibilities include:
- Design and implement new features and/or components within our platform and develop prototypes quickly to allow an iterative approach
- Deliver high-quality code, focusing on simplicity, performance, maintainability and scalability
- Optimise applications and components to maximize configurability, speed and efficiency, ease of development of new features and the ability to scale business processes
- Create common libraries and frameworks demonstrated across the platform to streamline development of complex applications
- End-to-end responsibility on the applications implemented, including automated testing, monitoring, identifying issues or bottlenecks and delivering improvements of the platform

We are looking forward to working with you as the lead software engineer.

You will report directly to the Head of Digital Innovation of iptiQ EMEA.
