Senior Backend Engineer at Lemonade Insurance Company

We’re looking for a senior-level backend engineer to join our growing Engineering team in Amsterdam.

In this role, you’ll be responsible for bringing features to the finish line while collaborating closely with other developers, as well as with stakeholders on the Product, QA, Data, and Machine Learning teams, all with the goal of delivering seamless, delightful experiences for our customers.

We believe three things matter for every role at Lemonade: drive to push through challenges, efficiency that keeps standards high while moving fast, and adaptability that lets you pivot with data and AI insights. These aren't buzzwords, they're how we actually work.

Our AI-first approach isn't just a tagline either. We're building the future of insurance with AI at the center, and we need people who are genuinely excited to learn and grow alongside these tools.

In this role you’ll:

• Help build our products using microservices written in Typescript (using NestJS) and Ruby on Rails running over Kubernetes

• Leverage our in-house autonomous tools to manage all development flow, from setting up our development environment to creating git branches and deploying services to production

• While operating as a platform squad, collaborate with other teams to drive efficient and scalable business growth

• Be the owner of your domain to ensure code quality, performance, and scalability of our products

• Coach and mentor other developers and help them elevate their skills

What you’ll need:

• 7+ years working as a backend engineer

• BSc in Computer Science or Mathematics (or equivalent experience)

• Experience working on high scale, production-grade projects

• Past contributions to open source projects are a plus

• Ready to work in an office environment most days of the week

• At Lemonade we welcome candidates who are enthusiastic about learning and adapting to the exciting world of AI, as a commitment to ongoing growth in this field is a fundamental part of our culture
