Senior Full stack Engineer

The role

You will reach your full capabilities by developing innovative products with trending and cutting-edge cloud and microservices technologies with a full lifecycle - you propose it, you build it, you own it.
You are the foundation of one potential and game-changer startup in Insurance Domain.
In this role you may work across two teams in parallel: a dedicated partner-account delivery team that customizes and extends the discovermarket platform (DCMP) to fit a specific partner's business, and the core product team delivering the shared DCMP roadmap. You engage directly with the partner's business and technical stakeholders to turn their requirements into working software, while continuing to contribute to the product. You own the outcome end to end — you propose it, you build it, you deploy it, and you make it succeed for both the customer and the product.

Your key responsibilities as Backend Engineer (Senior/Lead/Principal) will include:

• Develop and understand the enterprise data landscape and map data stores and -
  flows between the operational systems for our micro-service approach
• Implementing the feature with high performance, scalable and testable components for our
  architecture and execute its development.
• Developing and deploying modern architectural patterns/techniques (microservices, DDD, TDD) including developing using modern frameworks, e.g. Spring Boot, Spring Cloud
• Developing and deploying modern frontend microservices, enrich DM Storybook using the
  latest Angular version.
• Develop RESTful APIs and microservices-based solution leveraging containers (AKS, Kubernetes, Docker) technologies.
• Actively leverage AI coding assistants (such as GitHub Copilot, Claude, or Cursor) as part of
  daily development workflows to accelerate delivery, improve code quality, and explore smarter solutions, while maintaining critical oversight of AI-generated output.
• Adopt shift-left testing approach by embedding automated tests early in the development
  lifecycle, writing unit, integration, and end-to-end tests alongside feature code to catch defects sooner, reduce rework, and ensure continuous quality from the first line of code.
• Hold yourself accountable to high engineering standards, pay special attention to performance and scalability
• Collaboration with architects, engineers and project teams to ensure engineering principles are met and built and act as a change agent
• Write structured, well-documented, maintainable, and clean code
• Demonstrate strong English communication skills (both verbal & written)
• Utilize rapid prototyping techniques to accelerate time-to-market for our customers
• Trend scouting around new technology
• Contribute across two teams in parallel — a dedicated partner-account delivery team and the core discovermarket product team — balancing partner-specific delivery with shared product roadmap work.
• Customize, configure and extend the discovermarket platform (DCMP) to adapt it to a specific partner's business processes, products and integration needs.
• Engage partner stakeholders directly — from business and operations teams to technical integrators — to gather requirements, shape solutions, and translate business needs into working software.
• Own end-to-end delivery of partner-account work, from discovery and ideation through production deployment, go-live and post-launch stabilisation.
• Rapidly absorb the partner's domain and operating model to tailor embedded insurance journeys, white-labelled flows and APIs to their needs.
• Manage context-switching and competing priorities across the account team and the product team,keeping quality and commitments intact on both.
• Feed partner-specific learnings and reusable capabilities back into the core platform so account work strengthens the product for everyone.
