Senior FullStack Developer – App (JavaScript & Python) - CDI

ABOUT DESCARTES UNDERWRITINGDescartes was born out of the conviction that the ever-increasing complexity of risks faced by corporations, governments, and vulnerable communities calls for a renewed approach in insurance. Our team brings together industry veterans from the most renowned institutions (AXA, SCOR, Swiss Re, Marsh, Aon, ...) and scientists at the top of their field to bring underwriting excellence. After 5 years of existence, Descartes has secured a leading position in parametric insurance for weather and climate-related risks utilizing machine learning and real-time monitoring from satellite imagery IoT. After a successful Series B raise of $120M USD, we launched Descartes Insurance, a 'full stack' insurer licensed to underwrite risk by the French regulator ACPR. With a growing corporate client base (350+ and counting), our diverse team is headquartered in Paris and operates out of our 13 global offices in North America, Europe, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Japan. Descartes is trusted by a panel of A-rated (re)insurers to carry out its activities.ABOUT YOUR ROLEDue to our consistent growth, we are seeking to expand our Data, Software, and DevOps team.
