Description

ENGINEERING AT HYPEREXPONENTIAL

At hyperexponential (hx) we are transforming the traditional insurance industry with our groundbreaking SaaS platform, hx Renew. Insurers use it to build complex mathematical models that enable smarter, faster pricing decisions - whether it’s calculating the cost to insure a global superstar’s concert tour or protecting entire states from natural disasters.
Within hx Renew, users can rapidly develop and iterate pricing models in Python and React within a modern software environment, free from the burden of legacy tech. What once took months now takes weeks or even days. This agility has made our product the go-to platform for insurers worldwide.
Our engineering team - made up of some of the brightest (and kindest!) minds in the industry - pushes technological boundaries every day through creative innovation and regular hackathons.

Responsibilities

THIS ROLE IS FOR YOU IF YOU:

  • See beyond your code - you think in systems, products, and long-term sustainability
  • Thrive in fast-moving environments and bring clarity to ambiguity
  • Get energy from working across multiple teams and projects
  • Know when to experiment and when to design for the long haul
  • Lead with influence and empathy - not just title
    If you thrive on autonomy, are passionate about connecting the technical dots, and want to leave a lasting mark on a growing platform - we must meet!

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

  • Drive high-impact initiatives. Lead cross-cutting engineering efforts - especially in early-stage or ambiguous projects - by setting direction, fostering alignment, and helping teams move fast with confidence.
  • Shape our technical future. Contribute to the evolution of our Engineering Vision, identifying opportunities to raise the bar on quality, sustainability, and long-term impact.
  • Partner deeply across teams. Work closely with Engineering Managers and Product Managers to support, motivate, and empower teams building secure, scalable, high-performing software.
  • Guide architectural decisions. Consult on system designs, offer technical leadership, and help teams anticipate and navigate future technical challenges.
  • Elevate engineering practices. Champion what works - scaling local wins into org-wide standards that improve velocity, reliability, and developer experience.
  • Build trust and alignment. Develop strong relationships across the business, clearly communicating technical concepts and helping stakeholders align on priorities and outcomes.
  • Lead in moments that matter. Be a calm, decisive voice during high-stakes incidents, helping teams stay unblocked and keeping critical initiatives on track.
  • Grow the culture. Mentor engineers, contribute to talent development, and help shape a culture of curiosity, collaboration, and continuous learning across hx.
