These are the decisions that shape real-world outcomes: whether rockets successfully launch into space, autonomous vehicles make it to market, or communities recover after major storms.\nUntil now, insurers have been making billion-dollar decisions using outdated tools. We’re changing that. Our platform brings together data, AI, and human expertise to give insurers the fastest path from submission to decision - helping them move faster, act smarter, and take on more risk with confidence.\nBacked by a16z, Highland Europe, and Battery Ventures, we’re scaling globally - already trusted by nearly 50 of the world’s largest insurers, with zero churn and billions in premiums flowing through hx.\nWhat began as a single product in one market has rapidly evolved into a multi-product, multi-territory platform powering every stage of pricing and underwriting. AI is at the core of what we do - from building the world’s first domain-specific AI peer programmer for insurance (think GitHub Copilot with a PhD in actuarial science) to shaping agentic workflows that reinvent how this industry operates.\nWhat makes hx different is the people who build it. Here, impact isn’t tied to title or tenure; it’s defined by the challenges you take on and the discipline you bring. Surrounded by peers who stretch you, you’ll do the best, hardest work of your life in a company engineered to endure.\nIf that sounds like you, join us in building what comes next.\nAbout the Delivery Engineering team\nThe hyperexponential Delivery Engineering team is a unique blend of engineers, actuaries, mathematicians and data scientists. We don’t take on traditional “transformations” (we have brilliant partners for that) - we specialise in handling only the most difficult and interesting problems our customers face, where only a combination of technical depth, market expertise and hx knowledge will do.\nThe Delivery Engineering team are the experts' experts of the hx platform, knowing it top-to-bottom, inside-out - both breadth and depth. You’ll learn its limits and which can be pushed. You’ll uncover every trick in the book, the secret combinations, and the shortcuts. You’ll combine all of this with a growing knowledge of insurance technology to present 'the art of the possible' to our customers and help shape cutting-edge tech, while working alongside some of the brightest, most ambitious people in the tech and insurance industries.\nWhat you’ll be doing\nOwn end-to-end model delivery on hx, from scoping and build through to testing, iteration, and customer delivery.\n\nBuild and maintain production-grade Python models, applying modern engineering and modelling practices.\n\nWork directly with customer actuarial teams and internal stakeholders to solve complex, ambiguous modelling and coding problems.\n\nRaise quality across the team through code review, testing, and contributions to best-practice model development guidance.\n\nSupport and mentor junior model developers through pairing, feedback, and day-to-day delivery support.\n\nContinuously look for ways to improve our model development standards, tooling, and ways of working.\n\nWhat you’ll need to have done\nShipped and maintained production-grade Python code in complex or data-heavy environments.\n\nApplied predictive modelling or advanced analytics in real-world settings (insurance or reinsurance exposure is a bonus, not a requirement).\n\nTaken ownership of ambiguous problems, creating structure and driving them through to high-quality outcomes.\n\nWorked directly with non-technical stakeholders or customers, translating requirements into robust technical solutions.\n\nOperated effectively in a high-trust, high-accountability environment, proactively driving your own development and learning.\n\nYou’re unlikely to thrive here if\nYou prefer following detailed instructions rather than experimenting and finding your own approach.\n\nYou are uncomfortable working directly with non-technical stakeholders to understand their challenges.\n\nYou avoid tackling ambiguous or open-ended problems where the solution isn’t obvious.\n\nIf reading our Culture Document leaves you feeling neutral rather than energised, hx may not be the place where you’ll do your best work. We’re building something that asks for commitment and conviction, and we want you to feel excited by the opportunity to grow with us.\nCompensation\nAt hx, we’re committed to salary transparency. You’ll always have clarity on pay early in the process - our Talent Partner will share details with you during initial conversations - and we’re working towards publishing salary information for all roles globally.\nBecause we’re building at the intersection of technology/SaaS and insurance, our roles don’t always map neatly onto traditional benchmarks. Our approach is to design compensation that’s competitive in the market, fair across teams, and aligned with the impact our people make.\nBenefits\n£5,000 training and conference budget for individual and group development.\n\n25 days of holiday plus 8 bank holidays (33 days total).\n\nCompany pension scheme via Penfold.\n\nMental health support and therapy via Spectrum.life.\n\nIndividual wellbeing allowance via Juno.\n\nPrivate healthcare insurance through AXA.\n\nIncome protection and Life Insurance.\n\nCycle to Work Scheme\n\nAdditional perks\nTop-spec equipment (laptop, screens, adjustable desks, etc.).\n\nRegular remote and in-person hackathons, lunch and learns, socials, and game nights.\n\nTeam breakfasts and lunches, snacks, drinks fridge, and a fun office at The Ministry.\n\nExceptional opportunities for personal development and growth as we build something remarkable together.\n\nInterview process\nInitial call with our Talent team - 30 minutes\n\nManager Interview - 1 hour\n\nTake-home Python challenge followed by Skills Interview - 1 hour\n\nValues Interview - 1 hour\n\nMeet the CEO\n\nOur commitment to Diversity\nhxer's are at the centre of everything we build.
