Our company is under the wings of the French BNP Paribas. The star logo is familiar to most people thanks to the sponsorship of the biggest tennis tournaments. And our mission is also stellar – to protect our clients in the event of sudden life events, such as a loss of income due to loss of employment or long-term illness.

Other services such as development and valuation of insurance products, HR, optimization and unification of processes or management accounting are an integral part.* Insurance business – charging hundreds to be able to pay one to whom something bad happens

How we work?

• If it makes sense, we go for it – our methodology is neither Waterfall, nor Agile, but the best from both
• Roles are defined and respected – as an analyst, you’re not to be merging source code, deploying bug-fixes, preparing test scenarios or programming automated tests, there are developers and testers to do that instead
• Matrix organization structure – you report to either to project manager or to team leader based on current assignment; there are both project and analytical meetings
• Entire SDLC is run in-house – there are analytical, development, testing, operations, maintenance, and supporting teams (mix of internal and external employees)
• As elsewhere, we’ve realized need of documentation just recently, so some system parts are pretty opened to be explored
• But now we’re focused on all aspects of deliverables – it’s OK to spend longer on tasks if it is because of creating more pieces of documentation
• Currently communication within the region is done remotely and most likely is going to stay that way

What we expect?

• Ability to gain knowledge about our system and pass it to countries‘ (business) representatives
• Asking questions to understand end-user needs
• Creativity in finding alternative solutions (change current processes to what system already allows)
• Spoken and written English (B2) and Czech/Slovak
• Decent technical background (SQL, UML)
