About
LCP is an award‑winning actuarial and analytics consultancy providing market‑leading capabilities and advice across pensions and financial services, energy, health, and analytics. We use powerful analytics fused with human expertise to shape a more positive future.
We have an exciting opportunity to join our Insurance Analytics team as a Python Developer. You will play a leading role in the continued development of InsurSight, our award‑winning SaaS platform.

Review and provide feedback on code written by other developers, support mentoring and skill development across the team
Champion best practices in software engineering including testing, version control, CI/CD, and OOP
Collaborate with actuaries, analysts and data scientists to deliver technically robust, industry‑relevant features
Research and prototype new technologies to support innovation and continuous improvement
Contribute to a culture of curiosity, collaboration and technical excellence
Skills and Experience:
Strong Python development experience, with a track record of writing production‑grade, maintainable code
Experience working with large datasets and performance‑critical workloads
Familiarity with Azure PaaS/SaaS tools (e.g. Azure Functions, Batch, Blob/Table/Queue Storage), and CosmosDB
Comfort with software‑engineering best practices: automated testing, version control, CI/CD, OOP
Proactive, problem‑solving mindset with a focus on performance and user experience
Exposure to actuarial or non‑life insurance analytics, or an interest in domain‑rich environment
Experience picking up complex and unfamiliar analytical concepts
