Consultant Actuarial Software Solutions

About the Project‍ 

Actus covers core (re-)insurance processes like loss modelling, pricing, and capital modelling, in a highly customizable manner, fully built with Solveva IP. Technically, it is using TypeScript (React, NodeJS, Express, NestJS) for both frontend and backend. TypeScript and Python can be used for implementing actuarial algorithms. The scope of the application and the client base will increase. 

What You’ll Be Doing 

In this role, you will work closely together with our product owner, our developing teams, and with our clients. It’s this effective collaboration where Solveva excels and by which we lead the innovation in our field. This is an exciting entry to our company, offering you enthralling personal growth opportunities. 

It encompasses: 

• Applying our tools to expand our set of reference implementations 
• Implementing together with clients their own solutions with our products 
• Providing ideas for the improvement of our platform from user feedback and your hands-on experience 
• Supporting business development activities 
• Explaining the product owner’s and the client’s vision to the development team and creating a chain of lucent stories and tasks to make it happen 
• Staying up to date with actuarial methods as well as software engineering 

In particular, you are committed to ensure the best customer experience in the market, for example:

• Ensuring that requirements are taken up, managing expectations on both ends, clients’ and developers’, taking ownership on delivery 
• Representing Solveva on meetings with developers and business experts from client side 
• Budget reporting (team hours spent on which projects, etc.)

Furthermore, you will need the following to succeed in your role:
