About the job
fuku is an AI-driven insurance carrier serving tech startups, with $108M in funding and a platform built on Django. The company uses Stripe for payments and applies AI to dynamic underwriting. As fuku expands into the UK and EU, the team is growing to support new markets.
Role overview
The Senior Software Engineer position is based in London. This role focuses on building and shipping user-focused products from idea through launch. Engineers here turn concepts into real applications and help improve fuku’s technology as the company scales.
What you will bring
- Experience independently building and launching projects that deliver a strong user experience
- Comfort working quickly and measuring progress in hours and days
- Ability to work across the full technology stack and adapt to new technical challenges
- Openness to challenging ideas and finding better solutions
- Collaborative mindset and motivation to innovate
How the team works
- Decisions are made quickly, with action prioritized over waiting for perfect answers
- New products and process improvements ship regularly, not just on a quarterly basis
- Shipping and iterating is preferred over lengthy reviews
- Focus and intensity are steady throughout both launches and quieter periods
- Transparency is standard, with public-first decision making
- High performers set the pace and raise the bar for everyone
This position suits those who want to build and innovate. It is not a fit for anyone seeking a relaxed pace.
Behaviors that do not fit
- Office politics, avoiding accountability, or gossip
- Taking constructive feedback personally
- Adding unnecessary complexity instead of simplifying processes
- Missing deadlines after making commitments
How to apply
Instead of a CV, send links to your work, such as:
- GitHub repositories
- Personal websites
- Live projects
- Any product you have built and launched
Email your application to: sergio@fuku.com
If you cannot show shipped work, this role is unlikely to be a match.
Location
This role is London-based, with on-site and hybrid work options available.
Compensation
Salary range: £75,000 to £140,000 plus equity. The broad range is based on shipping ability rather than job titles.
