Neos are an insurance company, making use of IoT devices to prevent issues before they turn into a claim, and give people peace of mind that their home is alright. We also have B2B deals with several major insurance companies, including Aviva in the UK, ANWB in the Netherlands, and American Family in the US to provide our IoT platform as a part of their insurance policies. Finally, we do direct retail sales of our camera to the public.

That's quite a lot to get done, so we're looking for Ruby developers to join the team. Depending on your experience and interests you'd either be working with the insurance team, looking after our policy admin and sales systems for direct insurance sales, or the IoT team who are responsible for device integration, B2B support, and providing APIs for our mobile apps to integrate with.

We've got a micro (but not too micro) service based architecture, which makes heavy use of AWS services such as SQS and SNS to ensure one part of the system failing doesn't take everything else down with it. Experience with distributed systems would definitely be a plus, especially in the IoT side of things where when we say "distributed" we mean "thousands of devices scattered around the world, on potentially unreliable internet connections". You'll get used to eventual consistency fast!

We're looking for people who are able to work out of either our London or Brighton office for at least some of the week. Most of team work remotely on a regular basis, and we're well set up to make that work - all our meeting rooms are set up to make people joining remotely easy.

If you're interested, drop me an email on jon.wood@neos.co.uk and I can answer any questions you might have.
