InsurX are on a mission to build the technology that connects any broker and any insurer so they can exchange risk without friction.

The insurance market is ripe for change and rapidly digitalising - this isn't just our opinion, it's the market's consensus.

Our team is united by intellectual curiosity and a determination to change insurance for the better.

You'll work with TypeScript/React to create intuitive, data-rich interfaces that make complex insurance transactions feel simple.

This role is perfect for someone who bridges the gap between engineering and design; you write clean, performant code but also have an eye for user experience and can translate complex data into beautiful, functional interfaces. You'll be instrumental in building the dashboards and tools that power our insurance exchange.

How you will make an impact

• Build Beautiful Dashboards - Create intuitive, responsive SaaS interfaces using React and TypeScript that display complex insurance data and real-time risk matching
• Design-First Development - Collaborate with product teams to translate wireframes and requirements into polished, production-ready features with attention to UX details
• Rapid Prototyping - Work with our commercial teams to quickly trial new features and capabilities, iterating based on user feedback from insurers and brokers
• Component Architecture - Build and maintain a reusable component library that ensures consistency across our platform while enabling rapid feature development
• Performance at Scale - Optimise frontend performance to handle large datasets, real-time updates, and complex data visualisations that our users depend on
• Modern Best Practices - Champion frontend best practices including testing, accessibility, responsive design, and state management

What we are looking for

• 2-7 years of experience building production React applications with TypeScript
• Strong portfolio demonstrating both technical skills and design sensibility
• Experience building SaaS dashboards or data-heavy B2B applications
• Expertise in modern React patterns (hooks, context, state management)
• Proficiency with modern CSS/styling solutions (CSS-in-JS, Tailwind, or similar)
• Experience with data visualisation libraries (D3.js, Recharts, or similar)
• Track record of building accessible, performant web applications

Nice to have:

• Experience with design tools (Figma, Sketch) and ability to create mockups
• Knowledge of real-time data handling (WebSockets, SSE)
• Experience in FinTech/InsurTech or B2B marketplaces
• Familiarity with testing frameworks (Jest, React Testing Library, Cypress)
• Understanding of micro-frontend architectures
• Experience with component documentation tools (Storybook)

The ideal candidate

You're someone who gets excited about both the technical challenge of building scalable frontend architecture and the creative challenge of making complex data beautiful and usable. You understand that in a B2B SaaS platform, good design isn't just about aesthetics, it's about helping users make million-dollar decisions with confidence. You can work from rough requirements or wireframes and deliver polished features that delight users.
