New Yesterday
WHO WE ARE:
We are asset managers with an insurance twist - we manage $8 billion of catastrophe and climate related insurance-linked securities (ILS). At Nephila, we like to shake up the status quo. We were pioneers in offering alternative funding to the reinsurance industry and were also the first to introduce a strategy specifically for managing climate-related risks. We have offices in Bermuda, London and Nashville.
WHAT WE VALUE:
- Entrepreneurial spirit
- Thinking outside the box
- Collaboration, curiosity and authenticity
- Interesting and innovative work
- Autonomy and ownership
ABOUT THE TEAM:
Nephila's technology team is dedicated to approaching strategic technical priorities in innovative ways. We blend of nimbleness, creativity, and technical skills to collaborate closely with our business units, explore diverse solution options, and deliver substantial value to our organization.
ABOUT THE ROLE:
We are seeking a Platform Engineer to join our Technology team. In this role, you will ensure the stability, scalability, and security of the firm's cloud-based infrastructure. You'll lead efforts across cloud architecture, networking, disaster recovery, and secure deployment pipelines in a fast-paced, high-stakes environment. Working cross-functionally with both business and technical teams, you'll play a critical role in maintaining smooth operational continuity, implementing industry best practices, and driving infrastructure innovation.
In this role, you will:
- Design, build, and manage secure and scalable cloud infrastructure across multiple environments
- Maintain and optimize virtual machines, networking configurations, and system performance
- Develop and execute disaster recovery strategies and business continuity plans
- Implement and uphold rigorous access controls, firewalls, and network security protocols
- Monitor system reliability and proactively address issues before they impact operations
- Document infrastructure decisions and procedures for internal audit and compliance purposes
- Evaluate new technologies to enhance operational effectiveness and security posture
ABOUT YOU:
You are:
- Calm under pressure
- Equal parts detail-oriented and a big picture thinker
- Security-focused with a strong sense of accountability
- A proactive problem solver and self-starter who can think critically and pivot when needed
- Someone who thrives in ambiguity and adapts quickly to changing priorities
- Comfortable collaborating across teams and clearly communicating technical topics
WHAT YOU BRING TO THE TEAM (QUALIFICATIONS):
- 5+ years of experience managing cloud infrastructure in a production environment
- Experience supporting financial institutions, hedge funds, or other high-security environments preferred
- Deep expertise in cloud services (preferably Azure), including VM management, networking, and access controls
- Proven ability to build secure, compliant, and resilient systems and business continuity strategies
- Familiarity with software deployment pipelines and integration into cloud environments
WHAT WE OFFER:
- Total cash compensation between £105,000-£130,000
- Comprehensive private medical cover for medical, dental and vision fully funded by the company
- Paid time off of 25 days per year, increasing with tenure, plus sick days and 8 paid holidays
- Pension scheme
- Annual wellness benefit up to £750
- Variety of paid leave policies
- Daily lunch when working from a Nephila office
