Having raised over €20m from prestigious investors like Eurazeo, EQT Ventures, and Northzone, they're building the world's first fully integrated benefits platform and embedded insurance solution.

As a Product Engineer (Backend) on the Kota Embed team, you'll be at the forefront of developing APIs and SDKs that power embedded insurance and retirement benefits globally.
