Devops Engineer - Lisbon Lisboa

Job Description – Devops Engineer

About Hiscox:

At Hiscox we care about our people. We hire the best people for the work, and we’re committed to

diversity and creating a truly inclusive culture, which we believe drives success.

We embrace
- working practices, balancing the ability to work remotely with the culture and

energy we experience when we are
-
- face in our offices. Our focus on collaboration and

crossfunctional working is supported with virtual tools that minimise physical travel,
- desking neighbourhoods that create a physical sense of community and Team Charters that our teams

cocreate to set out how they’ll work together.

This modern way of working has contributed to impressive employee engagement scores across

Hiscox and means we’re delivering even better solutions for our Hiscox Colleagues. As an

international specialist insurer we are far removed from the world of mass market insurance

products. Instead we are selective and focus on our key areas of expertise and strength - all of which

is underpinned by a culture that encourages us to challenge convention and always look for a better

way of doing things.

We insure the unique and the interesting. And we search for the same when it comes to talented

people. Hiscox is full of smart, reliable human beings that look out for customers and each other. We believe in doing the right thing, making good and rebuilding when things go wrong. Everyone is

encouraged to think creatively, challenge the status quo and look for solutions. Scratch beneath the surface and you will find a business that is solid, but slightly contrary.

We like to do things differently and constantly seek to evolve. We might have been around for a long

time (our roots go back to 1901), but we are young in many ways, ambitious and going places. Some

people might say insurance is dull, but life at Hiscox is anything but. If that sounds good to you, get in

touch.
