About hyperexponential (hx) At hyperexponential, we're building the AI-powered platform that enables the world's most critical decisions in a $7 trillion industry, which risks to take, and how to price them. 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. Until now, insurance has been making billion-dollar decisions using outdated tools.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. Backed 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. What 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. What 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. If that sounds like you, join us in building what comes next. About the Analytics team Engineering at hx drives every breakthrough that transforms how insurers make billion-dollar decisions. Our Analytics team sits at the cutting edge of this mission, building the data systems that unlock the full value of complex insurance datasets. We're turning raw portfolio data into actionable insights that help underwriters and actuaries make smarter, faster decisions on risks worth billions. As a Senior Backend Engineer in the Analytics team, you'll architect and build the foundational data systems that power next-generation insurance analytics. This is greenfield territory - you'll be designing distributed data solutions from the ground up, creating scalable ingestion pipelines, and building the infrastructure that turns complex insurance data into competitive advantage for our customers. You'll work at the intersection of complex engineering challenges and real business impact, collaborating with sharp product and UX minds to create data-driven experiences that fundamentally change how insurers understand and optimise their risk portfolios. If you love solving hard technical problems while seeing direct customer impact, this is where you'll thrive. What You'll Be Doing Build scalable data systems in Kotlin that enable insurers to ingest, process, and explore complex datasets, turning months of manual analysis into real-time insights that drive billion-dollar risk decisions. Design distributed analytics infrastructure on AWS using Terraform, creating robust, cloud native systems that handle enterprise scale data volumes while maintaining reliability and performance. Deliver customer facing analytics features that transform how users understand and optimise risk modelling, building intuitive interfaces for complex portfolio analytics that were previously impossible. Drive technical innovation in data architecture, piloting emerging technologies and AI/ML approaches that continuously improve the analytics experience and unlock new capabilities for customers. Collaborate across disciplines with Product, UX, and Engineering teams to translate complex business requirements into elegant technical solutions that balance powerful functionality with usability. Elevate system quality through robust architecture decisions, comprehensive testing, and clear documentation that makes complex data systems maintainable and scalable as the team grows. What You'll Need to Have Done Built production backend systems with proven experience as a polyglot engineer, ideally with strong Kotlin skills and the ability to work effectively across multiple languages and tech stacks. Delivered scalable cloud infrastructure using AWS and infrastructure as code tools like Terraform, with hands on experience building distributed systems that handle real world data volumes. Developed data warehousing solutions with hands on experience building ETL pipelines, data modelling, and orchestration workflows using modern tools (e.g., dbt, Airflow, Spark), demonstrating the ability to transform raw data into reliable, performant analytics infrastructure that supports business decision making at scale. Collaborated effectively across teams to deliver features that customers actually use, with evidence of translating business requirements into technical solutions that drive measurable impact. Maintained high code quality standards with a commitment to clean, well documented, maintainable systems and the discipline to build infrastructure that scales with business growth. Demonstrated curiosity about emerging technologies, particularly around data processing, analytics platforms, and AI/ML tools that can enhance developer productivity and unlock new customer value. You're Unlikely To Thrive Here If You prefer working with well established data systems rather than building foundational analytics infrastructure from scratch in a rapidly evolving environment. You're more comfortable focusing on purely technical challenges than understanding the business context and customer impact of the data systems you're building. You're not excited by the complexity that comes with distributed data processing, enterprise scale systems, and the technical depth required for analytics platforms. Reading our Culture Document leaves you feeling neutral rather than energised, hx may not be the place where you'll do your best work.

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. Because 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. Equity: We offer equity across all roles at hx, making it a significant component of total compensation. Your talent partner will be able to share more details about this.

Driving operational effectiveness, consistency and quality across underwriting and valuation activity. Overseeing key third party relationships linked to underwriting and valuation services. Championing continuous improvement of lending processes and the customer and intermediary journey. Embedding a strong risk culture and delivering excellent customer outcomes. Leading, developing and empowering underwriters to perform at their best. Essential skills and experience: Strong understanding of credit risk management and able to make sound underwriting decisions. Proven experience leading underwriting, credit or mortgage servicing teams. Sound knowledge of the external property and mortgage market, and regulatory framework. Ability to interpret MI and provide clear, proportionate recommendations. Desirable skills and experience: Existing or recent senior leadership role in a bank or building society. Experience contributing to senior level committees. Exposure to specialist lending (e.g. lending in/into retirement or shared ownership). We want to help you develop - we are accredited by the Financial Services National College for the quality of our learning and development practices. No matter your role, there will be opportunities to take on new responsibilities and be involved in projects to further your career. We want to look after and reward you - you will receive a generous holiday allowance, contributory stakeholder pension scheme, access to wellbeing programmes, and your birthday off. We care about our communities - as well as providing financial services, we get involved in supporting local charities and people. This means regular opportunities to volunteer, fundraise, and help with community events and activities. All employees also receive two paid days of volunteering every year to help causes they feel passionately about. The salary offered is dependent on evidence of key competencies and skills you currently have.
