team
We're reimagining what software development looks like.
Engineering at hx sits at the intersection of complex technical problems, AI-native workflows and domain challenges that few companies will tackle.

Kernel
Kernel at hx builds the second iteration of our Model Runtime - the execution engine that powers customer pricing models across the platform. You're responsible for packaging and executing Models in multiple contexts, managing in-memory data stores, sandboxing customer code safely, and ensuring efficient resource handling for complex calculations at scale. You work closely with Models, DEX and Policies teams on cross-functional product initiatives that require new Model features.

Kernel
Models
Models at hx owns the integration of the Kernel into the server that provides interactive execution mode for customer Models. You build and improve the Model server's HTTP API, manage frontend interactions via websockets, handle session and client management, and constantly add new features to components that Model Developers use. You're shifting focus from the old runtime to improving observability, reliability and building features like Custom UI Components that give developers more flexibility.

DEX
DEX at hx owns batch rating and portfolio analytics end-to-end - from data pipelines and Lambda execution layers through to APIs and frontend experience. You give actuaries the tools to understand and rate their entire book of business at scale. The complexity comes from integrating legacy async task systems (designed 8 years ago for single policies) into modern serverless batch processing - all while managing Lambda timeouts, cost constraints, and making it feel instant for users rating thousands of policies at once.

DEX
Policies / Triage
Policies at hx builds the front door to the hx platform. You turn raw inbound submissions - emails, uploads, manual entries - into a clean, prioritised underwriting queue that flows straight into pricing. You use modern technologies including LLMs to automate intake and triage, reduce manual work, and connect submissions seamlessly with complex pricing. You work closely with Kernel/Models, MDT, the AI team and Product to shape a flagship product that sits at the centre of the underwriting journey.

Policies / Triage
Engineering Velocity
Engineering Velocity at hx ensures teams can ship value to customers quickly, safely and regularly. You sit across large, strategic, cross-company initiatives and see them through to completion. No day looks the same - from identifying and resolving bottlenecks to incident resolution to building automations that improve day-to-day operations across the Technology function. You have a large surface area across Engineering, Product, Design, PMM, Support, MDT, Field Engineering and Senior Leadership.

Engineering Velocity
Quality Engineering
Quality Engineering at hx ensures that when many independent teams bring changes together, the final product remains high quality and stable over time. You build and maintain shared testing tools - like end-to-end testing frameworks and performance testing solutions - that teams use at a product level. You define and run quality processes across the organisation, helping teams align on standards while building tools that are simple to pick up, flexible enough to cover many features, and reliable enough to use daily.

Quality Engineering
Platform
Platform at hx builds and evolves the self-service foundations that power one of the most technically ambitious product environments in fintech. You design, operate and continuously improve the infrastructure that enables teams to build, deploy and run services independently. You drive faster delivery, stronger reliability and disciplined cost efficiency at scale - making sure the platform grows with the product.

Platform
Security
Security at hx is a proactive, embedded function that shapes how the organisation builds and scales technology. You translate industry best practices into practical guardrails, governance and automated controls - protecting the business while enabling secure, compliant innovation, including in rapidly evolving areas like AI. You're part of the conversation early, not brought in after decisions are made.

Security
Delivery
Delivery at hx is responsible for getting value into customers' hands in the quickest, safest and most regular way possible. You sit across large, strategic, cross-company initiatives and see them through to completion. No day looks the same - from identifying and resolving bottlenecks to incident resolution to building automations that improve the entire Technology function. You collaborate across Engineering, Product, Design, PMM, Support, MDT, Field Engineering and Senior Leadership.

Delivery
AI native by design, not by hype.
We're not afraid to use the right tool for the job.
You're building your skill set for the next ten years.
Ownership over hours. Self-discipline over being told what to do.
Engineers here are empowered to make engineering decisions.
The best way to predict the future is to create it.
How engineering is structured
Engineering has multiple specialist areas
Reimagining the SDLC
You bake AI into every SDLC aspect - from spec-driven development to nightly pipeline risk estimation. Machines handle boilerplate. Humans focus on architecture and design.
Complex infrastructure
You tackle dynamic code execution, batched policy analysis and infrastructure scalability. These aren't CRUD apps - they're genuine engineering challenges in a complex domain.
Real technical autonomy
If you see a better database, library or approach, you build the case and make it happen. There's no red tape - just InfoSec review and budget considerations. Low friction, high trust, real autonomy.

Those shaping what others won’t even try
The right environment changes everything. To thrive in
Engineering
at hx, you will need
The patterns of our very best Engineering people
They think in systems and architecture
You think at a higher level - architecture, design, corner cases. The shift is from "I have code to write" to "I need to design what makes this maintainable, secure and observable."
They invest in their own growth
You use spare time to learn, build projects and stay current. We provide L&D budget and tools, but you match that investment. This is your craft - you own your development.
They take ownership of engineering decisions
If you see a better database, library or workflow, you build the case and make it happen. There's no red tape - just the expectation that you'll bring ideas forward and own the implementation.
What the environment gives back
Future-proof skill building
You're building the skill set that will matter for the next ten years. Whether we become the company working in a way no one else is, or working like the best companies but better - either way, you're ahead.
Strong product partnership, not satellite PMs
You work in embedded EPD trios where PMs have deep domain understanding and technical vision. It's not someone dropping a spec and disappearing .
Access to genuinely hard problems
You work on dynamic code execution engines, batched policy analysis across years of data, and infrastructure challenges that aren't just CRUD apps. The domain complexity means you're solving problems most engineers never see.
