Drive the integration of exposure tooling with the existing data lake architecture, ensuring data is stored and maintained in an appropriate format accessible to the latest AI technologies (e. g. natural language querying, agentic workflows).

Work with other business functions (e. g.
Data, Infra, Claims, Underwriting Operations, Active Portfolio Management, Pricing) to ensure Exposure Management outputs can be seamlessly integrated and consumed across the business.
Support the core Exposure Management team in building out frameworks to reconcile the active book of business to ensure optimum data accuracy and integrity.
Work closely with the Exposure Management and Data leads to help drive the direction of investment in data augmentation and infrastructure, including support for various ‘POC’ initiatives to enhance the quality and quantity of insured property data (e. g. satellite imagery).
Qualifications, Skills And Experience Strong experience with software development and solid understanding of scalable architecture, clean code principles, and modern design patterns.
Strong Python expertise with experience in frameworks such as Fast API/Flask/Django, along with full‑stack development using React, Java Script/Type Script, and Node. js for building responsive UI and RESTful APIs.
Experience in the Lloyd’s/London market at a (re)insurer, software vendor or broker is desirable but not essential.
