Who are we?


Ki is the biggest global insurance tech company you’ve never heard of, unless you’ve been looking to insure a satellite, wind farm or music festival recently.


We launched in 2021 on the back of a fundraise that delivered $500m of investment, making us one the largest fintech start-ups that year. Our investors were excited about the fact we were revolutionising the way a 333 year-old industry was working. We have rapidly scaled: In our first year we wrote over $400m of premium and in 2022 we doubled that to $834m. We have developed Ki over the course of the past 2 years and created a platform that helps insurance brokers cover risks in a fast and frictionless way. We’re continuing to lead the charge on the digitisation of this market and that’s where you come in - we need more curious minds to work with us to realise this goal and create more opportunities. If helping us transform a multi-billion global industry sounds exciting to you, read on.


What you’ll be doing


Our broker platform is the core technology crucial to Ki's success – allowing us to evolve underwriting intelligently and unlock massive scale.

We're a multi-disciplined team, bringing together expertise in software and data engineering, full stack development, platform operations, algorithm research, and data science. Our squads focus on delivering high-impact features – we favour a highly iterative, analytical approach


What you will be doing day to day


You will build robust and scalable software for business-critical, web-based applications, design, build, test, document, and maintain APIs and integrations and develop new functionality in our core Kotlin- and Python-based services, working in multidisciplinary teams. You will also ensure quality control using industry-standard techniques such as automated testing, pairing, and code review. You will work with the Product team to understand end-user requirements and translate them into an effective technical solution.


What you will bring


Candidates will have experience as a mid-senior level engineer working across a modern web stack and will bring strong software engineering principles (SOLID, DRY, ER modelling), professional experience with a server-side language, ideally JVM based and be comfortable working with cloud infrastructure, infrastructure as code, familiar with standard logging and monitoring tools used to investigate issues. You will also have experience with continuous integration, or ideally, continuous delivery, a strong familiarity with build tools (e.g. Maven) and version control tools (e.g. Git/Github) as well as experience working in agile teams, following Scrum or Kanban, participating in regular ceremonies including stand-ups, planning, and retrospectives. Experience using project management and workflow tools (e.g. Jira) would be great and although previous experience of software development in the financial markets, Fintech or Insurtech is preferable it is not essential


Our culture

Inclusion & Diversity is at the heart of our business at Ki. We recognise that diversity in age, race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, physical ability, thought and social background bring richness to our working environment. No matter who you are, where you’re from, how you think, or who you love, we believe you should be you.


You’ll get a highly competitive remuneration and benefits package. This is kept under constant review to make sure it stays relevant. We understand the power of saying thank you and take time to acknowledge and reward extraordinary effort by teams or individuals.


If this sounds like a role and a culture that appeals to you, let us know.
