Mid Backend Java Engineer @ Marshmallow

About Marshmallow We started Marshmallow when we found out how unfair insurance prices are for people who move to the UK.


All because the industry hasn’t given this huge cohort of people a second’s thought, and isn’t set up to price them properly.  We saw an opportunity to do things differently, so we made it our mission to back the ones who step outside the norm.


Since we started, we’ve helped 100,000s of people get a fairer deal on their car insurance.


Using technology, we serve people that are often overlooked by financial services companies, solving important problems for people who need it most.  Engineering at Marshmallow Our engineers are at the heart of the solutions.


They work on product builds from start to finish, solving lots of challenges to help us build fast and scale up Our engineers cover a range of skills across frontend, backend, full stack, i OS and android and work alongside designers, data scientists, researchers and product managers within our product teams.
