Description of the team and role:

The UK DevOps team is part of the UK Operations and IT function which drives technology delivery and change across the UK business. The DevOps team currently consists of a Mendix low-code and a Salesforce development and operations capability; a MuleSoft API team and a SmartComms digital content team. The DevOps team has fully embraced new ways of working including Agile, DevOps practices, API-led development, cloud-first, and establishing Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery pipelines (CI/CD).

You will work as part of the DevOps team with the responsibility for designing, developing and maintaining solutions using the Mendix low-code platform. You will report to the Mendix Lead.

Zurich Insurance UK is expanding its DevOps team to meet the increasing demand for digital transformation, API-led application development, Agile delivery, DevOps practices and innovation. The DevOps team is helping the business transform by improving efficiency and by putting the customer at the heart of everything we do via our digital transformation work.

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the DevOps team as a Mendix Software Developer. You will contribute to designing and developing new and existing applications for Zurich specifically within the digital world. You will work directly with our business and other Operations and IT teams as part of an agile way of analyzing business needs and developing Mendix applications at speed.

This role presents an opportunity not only for experienced Mendix developers but also for graduates who have some software development experience, to develop and grow into qualified Mendix Business Engineers. At Zurich Insurance, you will get the opportunity to grow and thrive in your career. You will get the chance to develop valuable skills, explore your passions and make a positive impact.

Zurich can offer an exciting digital, technical and business environment in which to develop your skills; we support thousands of internal users and external customers through our Mendix applications and have built a wide portfolio of Mendix solutions – from significant digital transformation initiatives to innovative cloud-based mobile apps.
