We're a diverse team, uniting individuals of over 40 different nationalities and from varied backgrounds, with machine learning researchers and motor engineers collaborating together on a daily basis. We empower each team member to have tangible impact and grow their own scope by intentionally building a culture centred around collaboration, transparency, autonomy and continuous learning.
What you will do
You’ll be part of a product development squad and help to build auto insurance tech solutions leveraging bleeding edge AI visual models to provide automation for our insurance customers.
Product squads for our auto products help our customers to generate estimates from a collection of damaged photos of the vehicle or help to review existing damage estimates that are sent by body shops. Our product greatly increases the efficiency of insurers’ processes and enables them to resolve their customers’ problems much more rapidly after an accident.
As an Engineer, you’ll be responsible for the entire lifecycle of the code you write: Development, test, deployment, support and any bug fixes. You’ll be a subject matter expert in at least a large part of the code base with a good understanding of the overall product.
On a day to day basis you will
- Be a member of your scrum squad developing solutions to make Tractable products better
- Write code with deep emphasis on scalability, reliability and maintainability.
- Actively participate in the various scrum ceremonies to promote collaboration between the squad members.
