At Inversion, we are always looking for talented people who want to innovate, build great software, and work on interesting global projects.

Founded in 2018, Inversion has experienced strong growth. Our client portfolio has expanded significantly, and our team of Invertors continues to grow.

We are a fully remote company with team members currently working from Pakistan, Portugal, the Netherlands, and South Africa.

Our clients are primarily international, and we collaborate with teams across the USA, UK, UAE, and Bermuda.

Many of our projects operate in the reinsurance industry. Have you ever wondered what happens when a major disaster strikes and local insurance companies do not have enough capital to cover all claims? That’s where reinsurance comes in — a global financial safety net that helps manage catastrophic risk.

In addition to our work in reinsurance and financial systems, we are also actively building projects in the AI and blockchain space.

Although we are distributed around the world, we maintain a strong team culture. There is plenty of banter in our chats, and we regularly host online get-togethers, including activities like virtual escape rooms.

What we're looking for

We are currently looking for Senior Software Developers with strong experience in:

Python
Django
PostgreSQL

We don’t strictly measure candidates by years of experience, but in practice we find that developers with 5+ years of experience tend to be a good fit for the level of responsibility involved.
