Homeoffice Backend Engineer (Mid Level)

Cytora · Austria · Austria · Remote

About the job

We are a high-growth Series-B InsurTech start-up using data and machine learning to revolutionize the insurance industry. You will be joining a strong and mission driven team, working to build a customer facing product that fundamentally changes the way insurers evaluate risk, enabling them to move from highly manual workflows to digital risk flows. Cytora’s Risk Stream is a serverless and cloud native SaaS platform that automates the digitisation, evaluation and decisioning of risks for commercial insurers. Our product drastically improves the working lives of our users, enables our customers to cover more risks, more competitively.

The Role

As backend engineer at Cytora, you will be joining a backend functional team. As such, the teams are small (maximum 4/5 people) and work independently of each other.

Each team has a technical lead and a product owner steering the team to make sure we deliver the right features. Regardless of team you join, you will be prototyping, implementing, shipping and supporting features that are changing the insurance industry.

The core of our product is to digitize risks and to accomplish that we rely heavily on Generative AI. Our engineering and product teams are distributed across Europe.
