Full Stack Engineer (Python) – AI Insurtech

UK Remote-first

Our client, a fast-growing AI Insurtech startup, is looking for a highly hands-on Principal Full Stack Engineer to help build and scale the next generation of insurance technology platforms. Backed by recent Series A funding, the business is entering an exciting growth phase with a strong product and engineering focus.

This role is ideal for an experienced engineer who enjoys building real products end-to-end and thrives in fast-moving startup environments. While the role is backend-leaning with Python, they are specifically looking for a flexible full stack engineer who is comfortable contributing across backend, frontend, infrastructure, and product development as priorities evolve.

They need someone pragmatic, adaptable, and execution-focused — an engineer who enjoys solving problems across the stack, moving quickly, and taking ownership from concept through to production.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Building and scaling core platform features used in production
• Working hands-on across backend, frontend, and infrastructure
• Owning features end-to-end from early idea through to deployment and iteration
• Collaborating closely with product and design teams on functionality, usability, and customer experience
• Making practical technical decisions with a strong focus on delivery and scalability
• Improving platform performance, reliability, and maintainability
• Contributing within a collaborative, fast-paced engineering environment with high ownership and autonomy

What They’re Looking For

• 5–8 years of commercial software engineering experience with strong Python expertise
• Strong full stack engineering experience including React or Angular
• Proven experience building and shipping production-grade products
• Comfortable moving across different parts of the stack depending on business needs
• Strong understanding of scalable application design and modern engineering practices
• Product-minded with a practical, problem-solving approach
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and fast-changing startup environments
• Engineers who enjoy being hands-on and close to product delivery

Nice to Have

• Startup or scale-up experience
• Exposure to insurance, fintech, or other regulated industries
• Experience working within product-led engineering teams
• Exposure to AI-driven products or automation platforms

Why Join?

• High-growth AI business with strong momentum following Series A funding
• Highly collaborative engineering culture with real ownership and impact
• Opportunity to work across the full product and technology stack
• Meaningful equity alongside a competitive salary package
• Remote-first environment with minimal office requirements
• Fast-moving team where engineers have genuine influence on product direction and delivery

This role would suit a senior full stack engineer who enjoys solving complex backend challenges while remaining deeply involved across the wider product, frontend, and engineering landscape within a high-growth scale-up environment.
