We’re looking for a senior-level backend engineer to join our growing Engineering team in TLV.

This role will require you to bring features to the finish line while collaborating closely with other developers, as well as with the Product, QA, Data, and Machine Learning  teams—all with the goal of delivering a seamless, joyful experience for our customers.

We believe three things matter for every role at Lemonade: drive to push through challenges, efficiency that keeps standards high while moving fast, and adaptability that lets you pivot with data and AI insights. These aren't buzzwords, they're how we actually work.

Our AI-first approach isn't just a tagline either. We're building the future of insurance with AI at the center, and we need people who are genuinely excited to learn and grow alongside these tools.

In this role you’ll:
  • Help build our products using microservices written in Typescript (using NestJS).

  • Leverage our in-house autonomous tools to manage all development flow, from setting up our development environment to creating git branches and deploying services to production

  • Collaborate closely with the Product team, in a self-sufficient squad to achieve the squad’s OKRs

  • Be the owner of your domain to ensure code quality, performance, and scalability of our products

  • Coach and mentor other developers and help them elevate their skills

What you’ll need:
  • 6+ years working as a backend engineer

  • BSc in Computer Science or Mathematics (or equivalent experience)

  • Passionate about technology

  • Broad knowledge of modern backend frameworks, tools, and architecture

  • Experience working on high scale, production-grade projects

  • Past contributions to open source projects are a plus

  • Ready to work in an office environment most days of the week

  • Enthusiasm about learning and adapting to the exciting world of AI –  a commitment to exploring this field is a fundamental part of our culture
