Select, implement, and evolve testing tools and frameworks appropriate to modern cloud native and AI systems. Non Functional Testing Own performance, scalability, reliability, and resilience testing for distributed systems. Coordinate security testing activities in line with secure by design principles (e.g. IAM, secrets handling, data boundaries). Validate backup, disaster recovery, and failover scenarios alongside DevOps and Backend teams. Delivery & Collaboration Embed with delivery teams to ensure testing is planned early and executed continuously. Work closely with Product and Engineering to define clear acceptance criteria and definition of done. Provide clear, decision ready quality reporting to technical and non technical stakeholders. Support customer facing demonstrations, trials, and operational readiness assessments. Required Skills & Experience Proven experience as a Test Manager, Senior Test Lead, or equivalent on complex software systems. Strong track record of taking applications into production in regulated environments. Strong background in automated testing across APIs, services, and UIs, integrated into CI/CD pipelines. Experience testing distributed, cloud native systems (AWS, GCP, or Kubernetes), including performance, reliability, and resilience. Awareness of compliance frameworks (e.g. ISO 27001, NIST, OWASP). ISTQB Advanced / Test Manager certification or equivalent practical experience. SC Clearance or eligibility to obtain UK SC Clearance. Preferred Experience Experience in UK defence, public sector, or security environments. Experience testing AI/ML/LLM based systems, including non deterministic outputs. Exposure to agent based or workflow driven architectures. Soft Skills A pragmatic, delivery focused mindset - able to balance speed with rigour. Comfortable operating in fast moving, ambiguous, R&D heavy environments. Confidence challenging assumptions and raising quality risks early.

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 Until now, insurance has been making billion-dollar decisions using outdated tools.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.

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.

Hi I'm Abhik, Ashby's Co-Founder and VP of Engineering. We're looking for an ambitious full-stack engineer who is laser focused on solving customer problems and making the right long term investments to solve them not only today but in our future features and products. About the Role and How We Work Our engineering culture strives to recreate the environments where we did our best work as ICs - where we had the ownership and agency to impact our users with creative and innovative software. As a Product Engineer, you'll take ownership over a large portion of one of our products and own projects end to end (wearing hats traditionally worn by product and design). You'll research competitors, write product specs, make wireframes, and more. Key Responsibilities Designed and built automated interview scheduling to calculate possible times from a pool of interviewers and constraints, presenting these times to the candidate for selection via our responsive web app. Built a generalized declarative filter architecture that allows users to create complex filters for any record with a consistent UI and compile it to SQL in our backend. Specced, designed, and implemented a feature that allows users to complete signing offers entirely within Ashby. This project involved talking to customers, deciding technologies, building a prototype, and integrating the final implementation into additional features. Qualifications - What We're Looking For You're not afraid to tackle any part of a technology stack and do what's necessary to deliver a feature, whether writing frontend or choosing new infrastructure. You've tackled projects with a lot of product and technical ambiguity and thrive at the intersection of the two. You know how to strike the right balance between speed and quality, moving with urgency while maintaining high quality. You're ambitious and always looking to improve your skills, open to feedback, and thrive in a high ownership environment. You're an excellent collaborator and communicator, vetting decisions with stakeholders and working with other engineers to finish projects. You seek to create leverage in your work through automation, abstractions, and tools that improve efficiency. Qualifications - When You Might Not Be a Fit You need structured processes like sprint planning and well defined project management to move projects forward. You only want to do exciting work and prefer a team that focuses on high level ideas over hands on engineering. You get lost in details and prefer everything planned upfront. You haven't led or taken ownership of projects before and are used to working with technical leads. You want to mentor earlier career engineers in a team where most of the engineers are senior and mentorship opportunities are limited. You expect a tech lead, staff, or principal engineer to spend most of their time project managing or reviewing architecture rather than building. Interview Process Introduction call with Hiring Manager ( min, live). A technical screen where we pair in our actual codebase (1 h, live). Three non coding interviews that focus on product thinking, technical design, and infrastructure (3 h 15 min, live, can be split across multiple days). Depending on leadership bandwidth, an additional 30 minute recruiter screen may be added. First Three Months On day one, you'll set up your dev environment with a single script, push your first product change, and start shipping product changes. Over time, tasks will increase in scope from copy changes to impactful features. Your manager will conduct 30 , 60 , and 90 day reviews to give feedback and calibrate progress. Technology Stack TypeScript (frontend & backend), React, GraphQL API, Node.js, Postgres, Redis. Benefits Competitive salary and equity. 10 year exercise window for stock options. Unlimited PTO. Minimum 12 weeks fully paid parental leave (longer outside the US as per regional requirements). Generous equipment, software, and office furniture budget. $100/month education budget. Top tier health insurance for US employees and high quality supplemental insurance for employees outside the US, fully covered. EEO Statement Ashby provides equal employment opportunities (EEO) to all employees and applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, genetics, sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression. We are committed to a diverse and inclusive workforce and welcome people from all backgrounds, experiences, perspectives, and abilities.
