What you're applying for
We're looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to help build the autonomous systems and internal platforms that power how Lemonade operates at scale.

This is a role with real ownership - from the first line of requirements to production and beyond.
We believe three things matter for every role at Lemonade: drive to push through challenges, efficiency that keeps standards high while moving fast, and adaptability that lets you pivot with data and AI insights. These aren't buzzwords, they're how we actually work.

What you'll need
6+ years of backend engineering experience, with a strong grasp of modern frameworks and architecture
Hands-on experience integrating LLMs and AI capabilities using TypeScript-native tooling and frameworks
A track record of running projects autonomously and shipping high-quality results
Experience building and maintaining high-scale, production-grade systems
Strong communication skills and comfort working across diverse, cross-functional teams
