The Java Engineer Role 

As a Java Engineer at Send, you’ll be a key member of our Delivery team, working closely with customers to configure and tailor our underwriting workbench to meet their specific business needs. Rather than focusing purely on core platform development, this role is centred on implementing customer configurations, extending existing services, and ensuring our SaaS platform is delivered smoothly and effectively across a growing client base.

You’ll work with modern Java technologies within a microservices architecture, collaborating with Delivery, Product, and Engineering teams to translate customer requirements into robust, scalable solutions. You’ll also contribute to improving delivery processes, maintaining high code quality, and ensuring reliable, performant outcomes for our customers.

If you’re an experienced Java Engineer who enjoys customer-facing delivery work, problem-solving, and making a tangible impact through successful implementations, we’d love to hear from you.

 

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.

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.
