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.
