About Insify
We are a high-growth scale-up backed by €43M in total funding from world-class investors like Accel, Munich Re Ventures, and Formula 1 champion Nico Rosberg. While we started our journey five years ago in the Netherlands, we have since expanded into France and Germany, and we’re just getting started. Our mission is to dominate the European market and become a global leader in AI-powered SME insurance.

We aren't just building a company; we’re leading a revolution. Our culture is intense, high-stakes, and mission-driven. We hire smart, ambitious "owners" who possess a relentless drive to win. This is an environment for those who thrive on challenges, value intellectual honesty, and share our mindset of becoming a global category leader.

Our founding team consists of seasoned entrepreneurs who have previously built iconic businesses like HelloFresh, Bloomon, and SumUp. We combine that deep fintech and e-commerce expertise with cutting-edge AI to stay ahead of the curve.

In this role, your mission is simple but demanding: to take ownership of a meaningful part of Insify’s journey and deliver results that move the company forward.

As a Software Engineer, you will play a key role in building new customer-facing products and scaling our core platform powering insurance across the EU, working closely with teammates across the company to turn ideas into execution and execution into measurable outcomes.

What you will be doing

• Product Development: Build new customer-facing products, extend existing ones, and iterate on making the customer experience even better.
• Platform Scaling: Build up and scale our core platform powering insurance products across the EU.
• Technical Leadership: Lead by example, promote best practices in software development, and foster a culture of continuous improvement.
• Own outcomes within your scope — from problem definition to delivery.
• Operate in ambiguity and make decisions without perfect information.
• Collaborate closely with colleagues across functions.
• Improve how we work by spotting inefficiencies and proposing better ways.
• Balance speed and quality in a fast-moving environment.

This role is a strong fit if you:

• Have technical grit: Proven experience building products that customers actually love and use.
• Can lead & mentor: Strong mentoring skills with the ability to guide and develop other engineers.
• Are a collaborator: Excellent communication skills and the ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams.
• Think like an owner: You don’t wait for perfect instructions; you see a gap and you close it.
• Turn messy problems into clear, actionable plans: You can navigate complex technical puzzles and deliver high-quality outcomes.

Our tech stack:

• Languages/Frameworks: TypeScript, Node.js, React
• Architecture: Serverless, CQRS, event-sourced, event-driven
• Infrastructure: AWS, Terraform, GitHub Actions

This role is not for you if:

You are looking for a strict 40-hour work week
You need fully defined scopes and stable priorities to perform well
You prefer staying high-level and avoiding hands-on execution
You expect long ramp-up periods before taking ownership

We offer:

Competitive compensation that reflects responsibility and impact.
Trust and autonomy: you’ll have real ownership and room to make decisions Space to grow and shape your role as Insify evolves.
A steep learning curve, with support from experienced teammates.
The opportunity to share in what we’re building, with equity for eligible roles once there’s mutual conviction on fit and impact.
A welcoming, central Amsterdam HQ where we work closely together: shared lunches, dogs in the office, whiteboards, and fun end-of-week drinks.
An international, ambitious team that enjoys building meaningful things together.
