Requirements
• Built backend components or services in Python, or a strongly typed compiled language such as Rust, Go, Java, Kotlin, C, or C++, delivering reliable functionality and maintainable code in production or academic systems. • Written automated tests for your own work, helping ensure changes behave as expected and maintaining confidence in system correctness as software evolves. • Applied core computer science fundamentals such as data structures and algorithms to implement efficient and reliable backend logic. • Investigated software issues by reproducing problems, gathering relevant logs or data, and clearly communicating observations and hypotheses to collaborators. • Collaborated effectively with other engineers through code reviews, pair programming, or mentorship, responding constructively to feedback and improving your work through iteration. • Demonstrated a strong learning mindset by picking up new technologies or languages, with enthusiasm to develop expertise in Rust and systems engineering over time. • You’re unlikely to thrive here if • You prefer highly prescriptive work and feel uncomfortable operating in complex systems where understanding evolves through exploration and learning. • You prefer working in isolation rather than collaborating closely with teammates through reviews, pairing, and shared problem solving. • You are reluctant to seek feedback, ask questions, or take ownership of learning in a fast moving technical environment.
Responsibilities
• Implement small, well scoped backend improvements within the Kernel execution engine, delivering reliable changes that strengthen the stability and correctness of model execution. • Extend and maintain automated test suites that validate execution behaviour, increasing confidence in changes and helping the team maintain a high standard of safety in a critical system. • Contribute to internal tooling and scripts that support testing, debugging, and developer workflows, improving the speed and reliability with which the team can analyse Kernel behaviour. • Assist with structured debugging investigations by running defined scenarios, collecting logs and metrics, and summarising findings that help engineers identify root causes more quickly. • Learn the architecture and execution model of Kernel through hands on development and collaboration, steadily progressing from small tasks to more complex changes within the system. • Work closely with experienced engineers through reviews and pairing, contributing to a collaborative engineering culture while building the discipline required to operate safely in a high impact backend system.
Benefits
• At hx, we're committed to salary transparency. You'll always have clarity on pay early in the process - our Talent Partner will share details with you during initial conversations - and we're working towards publishing salary information for all roles globally. • Because we're building at the intersection of technology/SaaS and insurance, our roles don't always map neatly onto traditional benchmarks. Our approach is to design compensation that's competitive in the market, fair across teams, and aligned with the impact our people make. • Equity: We offer equity across all roles at hx, making it a significant component of total compensation. Your talent partner will be able to share more details about this. • Depending on how you choose to join hx (B2B or UoP), your benefits can look like: • 25 days of non-working + 14 Polish bank holidays • £5,000 budget for Learning & Development • Mental Health Support and Therapy via Spectrum Life • Optional for you: access to Healthcare package provided by Luxmed + Multisport (fully funded by yourself as B2B Contractor) • Top-spec laptop (MacOS or Windows) • Contract of employment (UoP) • 26 days of holiday + 14 Polish bank holidays • Company pension • 10 days company sick pay at 100% salary, thereafter in line with labour law • Monthly wellbeing allowance via Juno • Multisport card at Classic level • Top-spec work equipment (MacOS / Windows + additional monitors, mechanical keyboards etc) • Top-spec equipment (laptop, screens, adjustable desks, etc.). • Regular remote and in-person hackathons, lunch and learns, socials, and game nights. • Team breakfasts and lunches, snacks, drinks fridge, and a fun office at The Brain Embassy • Exceptional opportunities for personal development and growth as we build something remarkable together.
