More about this role
We're looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to join our Platform team in Tel Aviv. You'll build the infrastructure that powers our entire engineering organization, accelerating how our teams ship features that millions of customers rely on. This role is perfect for someone who loves solving complex distributed systems challenges and creating tools that make other developers' lives better.
We believe three things matter for every role at Lemonade: drive to push through challenges, efficiency that keeps standards high while moving fast, and adaptability that lets you pivot with data and AI insights. These aren't buzzwords, they're how we actually work.
Our AI-first approach isn't just a tagline either. We're building the future of insurance with AI at the center, and we need people who are genuinely excited to learn and grow alongside these tools.
