The Whitespace platform has been leading the way in data-first since launch in August 2019, leaving outdated analogue document-based trading far behind. Our mission is to support the entire (re)insurance life cycle, making it faster and more efficient. We believe in smoothing the process, not adding layers to it. While data-first and digital trading are the buzz words thrown around in the insurance market, not all platforms can live up to the hype. We know that brokers and underwriters who use Whitespace work faster and smarter.


As a Principal Engineer and Software Architect, you will play a crucial role in designing and overseeing the implementation of complex software systems. You will collaborate with engineering teams, stakeholders, and business leaders to ensure the delivery of high-quality software solutions that meet both technical and business requirements. You will look at existing software for opportunities to redesign and refactor to simplify code, improve performance and increase reusability.



TBD

Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field. Many years of experience in software development to an advanced standard likely at a Principal Engineer level. Proven experience in designing and developing complex systems, preferably with exposure to a Software as a Service deployment model. Proficiency in modern programming languages and frameworks like TypeScript, JavaScript, NodeJS, Angular and Swift. Experience using the Swift Vapor framework for server side API development would be particularly advantageous. Strong understanding of software architecture principles, patterns, and design methodologies. Experience with cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, GCP) and microservices architecture. Knowledge of databases, both relational (SQL) and NoSQL. Familiarity with DevOps practices and tools (CI/CD, containerization with Docker, Kubernetes).
