About the Venture
The insurance industry is stuck in a legacy loop. Today, finding and deploying underwriting capacity is slow, opaque, and wildly inefficient—especially for new MGAs and insurtechs. We're here to change that.
Konduit is building the rails for real-time insurance capacity allocation. Think Stripe for underwriting capital. We connect innovative MGAs with insurers via a standardized, intelligent platform, cutting deal times from 12 weeks to just 1, and transforming underwriting from a manual bottleneck into a dynamic marketplace.
Backed by Aviva and incubated by Founders Factory, Konduit has a built-in unfair advantage: unrivalled industry credibility, access, and insights from inside the machine. We’re at the start of a category-defining journey and we’re hiring our founding team to help shape the future of insurance infrastructure.
About the Role
As Tech Lead / Founding Engineer, you will define the architecture, build the core platform, and shape the long-term technical vision of the company. You’ll work directly with the CEO across product, strategy, and commercial execution — while writing production code and shipping fast.
You won’t just build the product. You’ll build the technical foundation of the company.
What we’re looking for
* Demonstrated ability to deliver product in a tech startup environment
* Experience integrating third-party data providers and APIs in production environments
* Experience working with complex data models and multi-party workflows
* Experience across full-stack web development, data analysis and applied AI
* Appetite for experimenting with new technologies and tools to drive innovation and creativity.
* Experience building products in regulated or highly structured industries (e.g. insurance, fintech, payments, health, govtech) would be a big advantage
* Familiarity with compliance-aware system design (auditability, permissions, data lineage, security-by-default)
* Exposure to marketplace, platform, or workflow orchestration systems
* Prior experience as an early or founding engineer at a startup
Responsibilities include
* Architecting and building the core Konduit platform
* Delivering MVP and onboarding early customers
* Feeding into product strategy and commercial goals to identify opportunities to quickly deliver customer value
* Establishing engineering best practices, infrastructure, and security foundations
* Developing the Konduit canonical data model that underpins our platform
* Integrating external data sources to power an intelligent allocation layer
