Forward Deployed Engineer
Hybrid (London, England, GB)£80k - £100kFull-timePosted 4mo ago
About the role
We are hiring our first Forward Deployed Engineer to put Parsewise into the hands of insurance/ reinsurance customers and make it deliver value from day one. This hybrid role sits with underwriters/brokers in the morning and builds the core platform in the afternoon, bridging customers and the product.
Responsibilities
- Onboard new insurance and reinsurance customers onto Parsewise, from first data ingestion to first decision-ready output.
- Deploy and configure the platform inside customer environments, integrating with their stacks and workflows.
- Translate messy, real-world underwriting, claims, and broking documents into working Parsewise configurations, often with the customer in the room.
- Flex between go-to-market and deployment: join commercial conversations, scope use cases, run demos and pilots, then build the deployment that proves them out.
- Bring the lessons learned with the customer and build them directly into the product.
Qualifications
- A strong engineering foundation: you can write production-quality code (Python and/or TypeScript), work with APIs and data, and integrate software into a customer's stack.
- Go-to-market skills: you are comfortable in commercial conversations, scoping use cases, and moving a pilot forward.
- Proven ability to ship high-quality work in a dynamic, fast-moving environment.
- A passion for learning and a willingness to dive deep into both technical and domain challenges.
- In-office by default (we’re a fun bunch + snacks), with the option for occasional remote work.
- 2+ years of commercial (re)insurance experience, with real fluency in how underwriting, broking, and claims actually work.
- Network in insurance and reinsurance, especially in the London market, that you can open doors with.
