London, United Kingdom CFC Full time
Senior Software Engineer (Python)

Department: Software Development

Employment Type: Permanent - Full Time

Location: London

Reporting To: Richard Jacobs


Description

Working within our Cyber Data Services team, which is at the core of our Proactive Insurance product offering and CFC's promise to protect our policyholders from existing and emerging cyber security vulnerabilities and threats.

You will play a key role in developing the company's competitive advantage in aggregating, presenting, and analysing large datasets. You will contribute to the development of our proprietary data platform and work to solve problems that are key to protecting our policyholders.

Your contributions will have a material impact on the business as a whole where you will be expected to design and implement new data capabilities (ingesting large datasets, building robust & high-performance APIs, consuming high-frequency event streams), as well as improving the quality of our existing products and solutions.


About the role

As part of our Software Engineering team, you will:

  1. Contribute using our standard tech stack, which is Python, Linux (via WSL), PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Databricks, and spans both Azure and AWS cloud infrastructure.
  2. Participate in the design and implementation of advanced mechanisms for data ingestion and transformation, and mass parallel orchestration of network IO.
  3. Maintain Infrastructure as Code and work with infrastructure teams to develop valuable new features for CFC's Engineering Platform.
  4. Model data for a variety of purposes (operational and analytical) in collaboration with your team, other teams, and analytical data customers.
  5. Work on indicators of data quality across our estate and improve the quality of our data along key metrics.
  6. Evaluate the quality (completeness and accuracy) of potential new data sources for specific applications.
  7. Contribute to quality automation in our CI/CD process, optimising for bug-free release cadence and developer delight.
  8. Maintain good quality documentation (starting with your code) for technical and non-technical audiences.
  9. Participate in a pairing-first development team, learning skills from your colleagues and giving back to the community by imparting hard-won wisdom and skills learned from past experiences.
  10. Mentor and coach less experienced team members through design and code reviews.
  11. Contribute to test automation through either enhancement to the platform or additional tests.
  12. Assess application security to ensure it complies with CFC Application Security Standards.
  13. Evaluate APIs to ensure that they comply with the relevant CFC API Standards.

About you

You are able to grasp, articulate, and advocate for technological solutions in both technical and non-technical settings and intelligently apply agile principles as you do so. Also:

  1. You are able to interrogate and present data and data analysis and have a willingness to present results of analysis undertaken as a part of your team's work.
  2. You have demonstrable experience as a senior software developer or engineer with a focus on Python.
  3. You love SQL (Postgres, SQL Server, Databricks).
  4. You are comfortable working without an ORM.
  5. You are familiar with the challenges of working with data *at scale*.
  6. You prefer the command line use of git, bash/zsh, and (optionally) vim.
  7. You have an undergraduate degree or can demonstrate knowledge and experience of concepts in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Logic, Applied Statistics, Actuarial Science, Data Science, or any related discipline would be advantageous.

Core Values

Love what you do:
We show up each day ready to take on the world. Our passion and intensity set us apart and makes the difference to our colleagues, customers, brokers and carriers.

Challenge everything:
We’re never afraid to question the way that things are done and we constantly challenge ourselves and others to make things better.

Have fun, be good:
Insurance is a serious business, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously. We make it fun to work at CFC, we welcome all viewpoints, and we treat everyone how we would expect to be treated.
