Senior Back End Developer

Since you’ve landed on this page, you already know Hedvig is a mover and shaker in insurtech, and think you might have what it takes to join us. As the only loved insurance company in Sweden (in the world?), we’ve proven that it’s possible to disrupt an entire industry with people’s best interest at heart. But our journey is just beginning.

Our tech team is at the very core of our business. The team enables us to scale and deliver the smartest insurance platform there is. We focus on building a flexible system that enables us to expand across different EU markets. Further, we work on improving the customer journey by reducing manual processes via automation. The tech team works closely with our business units, and their stakeholders, to ensure that our development work has the right impact on our business output.

What about the role?

As a Backend Developer, you will work with a talented team to build our microservices in an event-driven way. Our tech stack looks like this:

• Kotlin & Java
• Spring
• PostgreSQL
• Kubernetes

When you join our Tech organization, you will be a part of one of our 6 Product cross-functional teams.

• Purchase Journey is responsible for the purchase experience via Hedvig's channels
• The Partnership Integration team is responsible for driving the purchase experience for partners
• The Apps team is responsible for creating a human-focused experience that makes insurance simple
• Internal Product is helping to improve the experience for our internal teams
• Payments provide reliable and scalable payment products that fuel our growth
• Insurance Product folks build the products enabling Hedvig to scale our insurance offering.

What About you?

We're very interested in developers with experience in the above-mentioned tech stack. The more experienced, the better. We don't, however, just look for developers with only those skills. We believe that a good developer is a problem-solver who is capable of learning any new tech stack.

We highly value both a good attitude and personality and place a lot of emphasis on these "soft skills". With the right levels of both, we are willing to hire and cross-train developers with experience in other tech stacks. Further, we look for developers who aim high and don't play it safe. We love creative problem-solvers who are not afraid to try new things and fail. We expect our developers to be the kind of team players who enjoy solving problems with their team.

About us:

As part of the Hedvig team, you will quickly notice that "general truths" are not accepted without being questioned. We're an enthusiastic group of people who love to challenge each other to find the best way forward. We don't care who says something, we care about what's being said.

We put a lot of effort into building a trusting culture where freedom, collective thinking, and individual ownership have center stage. We're not perfect – far from it – but we talk about and learn from our mistakes and imperfections to continuously get better. As individuals, as a team, and as a company. And we have a lot of fun along the way!
