Buckhill Software

• Contribute toward the architectural design and evolution of the C2MS platform, guiding its progression ensuring technical debt resolution velocity is maintained in a sustainable manner, and that the monorepo strategy we’ve employed is continuously tested and improved. • Write code, conduct code reviews, and make direct technical decisions alongside the engineering team as this is a deeply hands-on role. • Identify and resolve architectural risks, technical debt, and scalability bottlenecks, and own the mitigation strategies. • Evaluate and discuss introducing, based on evidence and data-driven analysis, new technologies and approaches that deliver practical, long-term value to the platform and the team. • Champion the development of in-house AI capabilities based on enhanced OSS LLMs running on Buckhill owned, specialised AI infrastructure, that contributes toward our goal of a self-managed production-line process for software engineering, with quality and security at its core • Ensure platform architecture supports cloud-native deployment on AWS and Azure, with a focus on reliability, security, and scalability. • Design and oversee integration architecture with third-party partners covering screening, document processing, connectivity, analytics, and embedded reporting (including Metabase). • Ensure data architecture and platform design comply with GDPR and the regulatory requirements relevant to insurance and financial services. • Contribute toward an AI-first development strategy for Buckhill by contributing toward the continuous improvement of systems and workflows where AI agents actively contribute to delivery. In practice this means things like AI-assisted PR reviews, automated test generation, and internal dev copilots accelerating the engineering team's output, alongside production LLM pipelines for document ingestion and extraction already embedded in the platform. • Improve agentic development patterns that accelerate the engineering team’s output and raise the quality ceiling of the platform. • Improve LLM capabilities (e.g., Anthropic, OpenAI Enterprise, In-house AI, Azure AI) into both the development lifecycle and as product capabilities within C2MS, with a focus on developing our in-house AI capabilities (fine-tuning OSS models and contributing toward in-house AI development). • Embed AI-assisted features into core insurance workflows, such as document understanding, decision support, and workflow automation, using practical, production-grade approaches. • Champion responsible AI in an insurance context: ensuring AI-assisted decisions are auditable and explainable, and that regulatory and client trust requirements are met. • Stay current with the fast-moving agentic AI landscape, continuously evaluating new tooling and patterns for applicability to our platform and delivery model. • Set and maintain engineering standards across the team, including API design, CI/CD practices, containerisation, testing, and code quality, by example as much as by guidance. • Mentor developers across the team, raising the overall engineering standard and fostering a culture of continuous improvement in a lean organisation. • Collaborate with DevOps to ensure infrastructure supports secure, scalable, and automated deployments. • Communicate architectural thinking clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, including product and commercial leadership. • Contribute to RFP responses, vendor evaluations, and pre-sales conversations as a credible technical authority. • Act as a bridge between technical teams and commercial or client-facing stakeholders, translating complex architectural concepts into clear business terms. • Support the Lead Product Owner in aligning the technology roadmap with client needs and business strategy.

• Participate in Scrum ceremonies including sprint planning, stand-ups, and retrospectives, contributing ideas and updates to ensure team alignment. • Design and develop robust backend and frontend features for our C2MS insurance platform using PHP, Laravel, Filament, and Vue.js, with integrated financial and accounting systems. • Build andmaintaininsurance-specific financial systems including premium billing, commission calculations, claims settlements, payment processing, and reconciliation workflows. • Develop insurance accounting functionality including general ledger integration, accounts payable/receivable for premiums and claims, financial reporting for regulatory compliance (FCA, Lloyd's standards), and multi-currency handling. • Create andmaintainautomated underwriting rules, rating engines, and complex financial calculations specific to insurance products (premiums, deductibles, loadings, discounts, endorsements). • Write andmaintainunit, integration, and end-to-end (E2E) automated tests to ensure code quality and reliability,with particular attention to financial accuracy, premium calculations, and data integrity in insurance transactions • Collaborate with QA engineers, business analysts, and product owners to understand requirements and implement user-centric features. • Troubleshoot and resolve bugs, performance bottlenecks, and security vulnerabilities in existing applications. • Follow best practices for version control (Git flows), CI/CD pipelines, and static code analysis using tools likeQodana,PHPStan,Trivy, and Composer/NPM audit. • Write efficient and optimized queries using MySQL and contribute to database schema design and performance improvements,insurance policy data models, claims management systems, financial transaction processing, audit trails, and high-volume premium calculations. • Work with APIs and third-party integrations including payment gateways, data enrichment providers (e.g.,Loqatefor address verification), ACORD messaging standards, and partner systems for risk assessment and distribution • Work within an Agile environment and actively contribute to continuous improvement of development processes and team workflows. • Maintain documentation of systems, APIs, and modules to support long-term maintainability and team knowledge sharing. • Mentor and support junior developers through code reviews, pair programming, and knowledge sharing to foster growth andmaintainhigh development standards. • Apply AI-assisted development tooling (coding copilots, test generation, automated refactoring) to accelerate delivery whilemaintainingthe correctness standards required in financial and insurancesystems. • Adoptagentic development workflows - scoping and delegating multi-step coding, testing, and refactoring tasks to AI coding agents that plan and execute across the codebase, then directing, reviewing, andvalidatingtheir output rather than authoring every change line-by-line. • Apply sound engineering judgement on where agentic autonomy isappropriateand where human verification is mandatory, particularly in financial and audit-sensitive workflows. • Contribute to the design and implementation of AI-enabled features within the C2MS platform-including LLM integrations, retrieval-augmented workflows, and intelligent document or data processing for underwriting, claims, and policy administration. • Critically evaluate AI-generated code, outputs, and calculations with the same rigour applied to any other source, particularly in premium computations, regulatory reporting, and audit-sensitive workflows where correctness is non-negotiable. • Apply responsible AI practices in FinTech contexts, including data-handling boundaries, prompt and context design, model selection, and validation of outputs against GDPR, FCA, and Lloyd's market requirements.
