London, United Kingdom Policy Expert Full time

**Tech Principal**

We're Policy Expert, a home and motor insurance provider and we're on a mission to shake up the personal insurance industry. We feel that insurers have under-served customers for too long with confusing policies, expensive renewals and frustrating claims processes. It is time to put customers first

Since we formed in 2011, we've been using breakthrough thinking and proprietary tech to provide insurance that's clear, fair and great value. And people like what we do. So much so that we now have well over one million customers, driven by our double-digit growth. We also take great pride in having been the UK's No.1-rated home insurance provider for 9 years.

We have big aspirations. Our 'North Star' is 'To be the most successful insurance disruptor people want to stay with for life'. As we grow, we plan on continuing to challenge the norms of an insurance industry whose reputation for customer trust is low, where switching between providers is high and insurance cover is often seen as a costly 'grudge purchase'.

We aim to build longer and deeper relationships with our customers and to help them see insurance as being a help, not a hindrance.

**The role and what you'll be doing**

Principal Engineers provide technical leadership at Policy Expert where you establish technical standards and drive Policy Experts overall technical architecture, engineering practices, and engineering methodologies. You'll be working on our most challenging problems, building high quality, architecturally sound systems that are aligned with our business needs. You will lead, develop and mentor the engineering teams to deliver our scalable, cloud-based, next-generation insurance platform and as a member of the Technical Delivery Leadership Team, you will help define what great looks like and help shape our long term technical and business strategy.

**Responsibilities**:

- Defining medium/long term Architectural Design within own and wider teams
- Communicating with the stakeholders about changes, challenges and progress.
- Evaluating technical feasibility in line with commercial needs of the business
- Influencing the wider business to buy into designs that will support business priorities
- Challenge the team to improve collectively through Personal & Team Development
- Manage team on day to day basis - including 1-2-1's, appraisals, training
- Ownership of team recruitment

**What we are looking for**
- Java 8 or higher
- Clean code and understand principles of OO
- AWS
- Created or worked on APIs using HTTP
- Distributed and/or microservice architectures
- Message architectures like AMQP, JMS, SNS, SQS
- DevOps philosophy. You write it, you parent it in the wild
- Desire to be agile, practical, pragmatic, and lean.
- Able to work in a team and as an individual contributor.
- Strong people management experience with a proven ability to mentor and grow a highly productive, dynamic and technically proficient teams

**What we offer**

We want everyone to feel valued and rewarded in their work. We therefore offer all employees:

- Private medical cover with Vitality
- Dental Insurance
- Hybrid working
- Training and education through LinkedIn learning and Plurasight
- Travel season ticket loan
- Social events through the year
