Job Description
Working hours: This role is available on a part-time, job-share or full-time basis.
Location: Flexible – Offices in Swindon, Fareham, Manchester, Belfast, Birmingham, Glasgow and London
The opportunity:
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 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 analysing business needs and developing Mendix applications at speed.
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. With the acceleration of Zurich’s digital transformation programme and Mendix expansion, you can be assured of a full pipeline of varied, interesting and stretching work with which to build your skills and experience.
This opportunity is no ordinary Software Development role – Zurich has positioned the DevOps team as a major internal application development and maintenance capability in the UK business. Using a low-code platform such as Mendix you will get the excitement of delivering innovative apps at a pace for our customers and the business. You could be part of an award-winning and rapidly growing DevOps Team.
If you already are a Mendix Qualified developer with relevant work experience then you could act as a Team Lead to a scrum team, providing technical leadership in support of complex project delivery.
You will also have the opportunity to collaborate with various Zurich Communities of Practice to understand concepts such as Agile and DevOps and share thinking and learning with a global Zurich audience.
Many of our employees work flexibly in a variety of different ways, including part-time, flexible hours, job share, an element of working from home or compressed hours. This is because we want the best people for our roles, and we recognise that sometimes those people aren’t available full-time. Please talk to us at the interview about the flexibility you may need.
What are we looking for?
• Mendix Intermediate, Advanced or Expert certified
• Low-code experience
• Experience working in an Agile environment
• Basic knowledge of Cloud concepts

• Have excellent interpersonal, oral and written communication skills
• Ability to creatively and analytically solve problems
• Ability to take ownership of assigned tasks and responsibilities
• Contribute to working in a diverse team with different backgrounds and skills
As an inclusive employer, we want to ensure that all candidates feel comfortable and can perform at their best during the interview. You’ll have the opportunity to let us know of any reasonable adjustment or practical support needed when you apply.
Who we are:
At Zurich, we aspire to be one of the most responsible and impactful businesses in the world and the best global insurer. Together we’re creating a brighter future for our customers, our people and our planet.
