Description For Frontend Engineer

Policy Expert is on a mission to revolutionize Home, Pet, and Motor insurance, making it clear, fair, and great value for customers. As a Frontend Engineer in the Pet team, you'll be part of a cross-functional team responsible for the technology powering their new Pet insurance product. You'll collaborate with various disciplines to test hypotheses and make a difference to customers.

The role involves working with React for client-facing applications, NodeJS for serverless/middleware applications, and GraphQL/REST for client APIs. The company uses a microservices/micro frontends architecture and employs feature flags and canary releases for incremental delivery. Other technologies in their stack include Java, various AWS services (DynamoDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Aurora, S3, SNS/SQS, Fargate), Docker, and GitHub Actions for CI/CD.

The ideal candidate should have strong experience in Frontend development, a product mindset, comfort with ambiguity, interest in distributed systems, and proficiency in React and TypeScript. They should practice Test-Driven Development, have excellent communication skills, and be collaborative.

Policy Expert offers a hybrid work model (50/50 office/remote), generous benefits including pension contributions, private medical and dental cover, a learning budget, enhanced parental leave, and various perks like access to London O2 events.

The company is committed to diversity and equal opportunity, encouraging applications even if candidates don't meet all requirements. They aim to respond to applications within 14 working days.
