The Customer Support Engineering Role  

As a Customer Support Engineer at Send, you’ll play a key role in supporting, maintaining, and enhancing our underwriting workbench-the core of our SaaS platform-while working directly within our Customer Support Team. This role is focused on resolving platform issues, improving system reliability, and ensuring our customers receive a seamless experience.

This position offers a unique blend of development work and hands-on technical problem-solving, giving you direct insight into how customers use the platform and where improvements can make the biggest impact.

About Send 

In 2017, Send was founded by Andy Moss, Ben Huckel, and Matt McGrillis with a vision to reshape and enhance the underwriting process for commercial insurers-combining advanced technology with deep industry expertise.

By 2019, we had delivered a commercial and specialty Underwriting Workbench for a leading global insurer-one of the UK’s top five composite insurers and a major FTSE 100 carrier. This solution streamlined operations, improved efficiency, and enabled forward visibility.

In 2022, we won three industry awards for the Underwriting Workbench and raised $10 million in Series A funding to support our expansion in the UK and US.

The following year, in 2023, we launched Smart Submission, a stand-alone component of the Underwriting Workbench, and were named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide P&C Intelligent Underwriting Workbench Applications Vendor Assessment.

In 2024, we were recognised as a Top Provider in the Datos P&C Workbench report and named a Leader in Celent’s Underwriting Workbench reports for both North America and Global Markets.

Our vision is to be the market-leading underwriting software platform for agile carriers.

Our Funding 

From 2017 to 2022, we bootstrapped our growth journey, building a profitable and stable company. In November 2022, following a year of strong customer and team growth, we secured $10 million in Series A funding to accelerate our expansion across the UK and US, as well as to further enhance our product development. We’re proud to have the support and expertise of our investors, Mercia and Breega.

We are now preparing for our Series B round and are excited about the growth acceleration this will enable.

 

The Send Team 

Over the past two years, Send has experienced significant growth, expanding our team by over 50% to more than 90 people. At the start of 2024, our team was primarily based in the UK and Poland. Since then, we’ve taken major steps toward building a global presence, with team members now located across the US, India, and Ireland-all working collaboratively toward our vision of becoming the market-leading underwriting software platform for agile insurers.
