Job Description:
We have an exciting opportunity for two new Principal Engineers to join us!
This is a fantastic opportunity to work in a product-led operating model, where all our teams are value stream aligned with all the different resource types needed to get from idea to done with minimal hand-offs. We’re focused on building out our Single Digital Platform, centred around Salesforce, but involving a significant .NET estate and use of Azure services. Our mission is to re-platform our business, providing efficiency, flexibility, and more than anything else, better health outcomes for our millions of members in the UK.
At AXA we work smart, empowering our people to balance their time between home and the office in a way that works best for them, their team and our customers. You’ll work at least 40% of your week away from home, moving to the majority of your working week from September 2025. Away from home means either attendance at one of our office locations, visiting clients or attending industry events. As a leadership role there is an expectation of travel to London 1-2 times per month, and our Head Office of Tunbridge Wells which you’ll travel to 1-2 times per quarter. We’re also happy to consider flexible working arrangements, which you can discuss with Talent Acquisition.

We’re transforming our business by developing easy, efficient, digital experiences for our customers.
