Senior DevOps Engineer

This is an exciting opportunity to join a high-performing international team developing a cutting-edge product for leading global (re-)insurers.

About the project‍

Actus is a highly customizable, modular application, for core (re-)insurance processes like loss modelling, pricing, and capital modelling. It is fully built with Solveva IP. The frontend and backend tech stack primarily uses TypeScript (React, NodeJS, Express, NestJS) with MongoDB for database storage and Kafka as a message queue. Both TypeScript and Python can be used for implementing actuarial algorithms. The project is deployed to a Kubernetes cluster.

In addition, you will support the development of an internal Solveva Human Resources Management (HRM) application. The frontend tech stack uses TypeScript (React, NodeJS) and the backend tech stack uses Java 21 (Spring Boot 3). As with Actus, HRM uses MongoDB for database storage, Kafka as a message queue, and is deployed to a Kubernetes cluster.
