Simply Business
👉 Please reference you found the job on Remote Software Engineering Jobs, this helps us get more companies to post here, thanks!
Simply Business is more than our name. It's how we approach insurance: Make it clear. Make it simple. Make it affordable. By combining exceptional talent, technology, data, and knowledge, Simply Business is the go-to online insurance brokerage that protects small businesses and the entrepreneurs who work hard to build them.
We harness cutting-edge data ability, believe in experimentation, and build our own technology to deliver better experiences for our customers and employees. This means we’re as much a technology company as one that sells insurance. We build, we fail, we learn, we improve. We’re a B Corp too, which recognises our strong track record of having a positive impact on people, society and the environment.
We want team members who have the drive to challenge boundaries. If you’re smart and passionate about delivering brilliant customer experiences, we’d love to hear from you.

We need a Software Engineer to join us in London.
As a Software Engineer you’ll develop customer-focused products in a culture that champions Agile, cross functional teams and continuous collaboration.
Responsibilities include:
Our Tech Stack: Ruby, Ruby on Rails, Scala, MongoDB, Spark, AWS, Docker, Kafka, Terraform, JavaScript, SCSS, React, Webpack
Our culture is inclusive and diverse
We Embrace Individuality. We value what’s important to each and every SBer. Whether that be providing access to cutting edge wellbeing support, or being part of one of our many diversity networks and communities. We also take personal development seriously - we’re all about enabling big dreams.
We Trust Who We Hire. We empower SBers with choice and flexibility to make the right decisions based on the needs of their roles and we’ve been working this way long before Covid19.
There’s no one-size-fits all solution when it comes to how often we get together in person, so all of our people and teams find the rhythm that suits them best when it comes to working from home or hub.
We’re innovative. We've created a place for people to be curious, experience new things, and bring unique ideas to the table. If you want to learn how we do all this - head over to our Careers page where you’ll see us walk the talk
Stages 3 & 4 will take place over the course of a day over Zoom lasting a combined 3 hours. Adequate breaks will be factored into the day throughout your interview process.
Programming Assessment (90 minutes)
The programming assessment will be conducted with engineers from across the business. You will be assessed on the key areas which are coding and testing. As well as the above you will be assessed on your communication skills, i.e. explaining your decisions, convincingly arguing your choice of style and practice and demonstrating good collaboration.
If you have a preferred coding language then please let us know as soon as possible as the Programming Assessment is usually done in Ruby
Technical Deep Dive (45 minutes)
This will be a conversation conducted by engineers and possibly product managers from the business. For this session we’ll be looking to understand more of your technical foundations, how you like to work and your approach to problem solving.
We’re looking for a good testing mindset, the ability to explain technical solutions to problems in a way that can be understood by non-engineers as well as an understanding of agile software practices and where you have applied them.
Strengths & Values (45 minutes)
We are a values driven company with each area of the business having its own set of nuanced values that feed into each team.
This session is mostly non-technical although due to the nature of the role there will be some technical questions in particular with how you work within a cross-functional environment with non-technical colleagues.
The questions will revolve around the Simply Business values - learning, empowerment, authenticity, pioneering and simplicity and this section will contain a healthy mix of hypothetical scenarios.
