Senior Java Developer

About the Project

The innovative project develops a tool for insurance underwriters to create policies for medium-sized corporates and to provide support along the complete underwriting flow related to document creation or saving data into the administrative system. The tool is in productive use, but further challenges await to roll it out to further countries, lines of business and users, and how to merge the new requirements to the already existing features. You will play an important role in extending the backend capabilities.
