Python Developer - Insurance Analytics

Location - London with hybrid working as per departmental requirements (currently a MINIMUM of 40% (2 days per week).

LCP is an award-winning actuarial and analytics consultancy providing market-leading capabilities and advice across pensions and financial services, energy, health, and analytics. We use powerful analytics fused with human expertise to shape a more positive future.

We have an exciting opportunity to join our Insurance Analytics team as a Python Developer. You will play a leading role in the continued development of InsurSight, our award-winning SaaS platform. InsurSight was launched in April 2020 and is currently used to assess over £200bn of non-life insurance business. We are expanding the team to help us support our expanding client base whilst delivering our exciting plans to develop the platform further.

You’ll work within our backend team to help shape the direction of how we use Python within InsurSight, focussing on feature development, performance, maintainability, and tighter integration of our C# and Python backend codebases. You will also support and mentor less experienced developers, conduct code reviews, and take ownership of key technical challenges - particularly where large datasets and performance bottlenecks are involved.

Our team consists of:

  • 1 Product manager
  • 4 C# developers
  • 2 Python developers
  • 1 Actuarial data scientist
  • 2 Front end developers
  • 1 DevOps and site reliability engineer
  • 3 QA Engineers

You will have the benefit of the guidance of our actuarial data scientists, Python developer and product manager, but also the opportunity to take ownership of your work. This is a mid-level role for someone looking to deepen their Python and software engineering skills whilst working in a domain-rich environment.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Provide Python development expertise on new InsurSight features, ensuring performance, scalability and maintainability
  • Help with further integration between our C# and Python codebases, rewriting or restructuring code where needed to reduce inefficiencies and improve cohesion
  • Optimise performance of complex data and analytics workflows, including calculations on larger datasets (e.g. on 4GB+ datasets)
  • Review and provide feedback on code written by other developers, support mentoring and skill development across the team
  • Champion best practices in software engineering including testing, version control, CI/CD, and OOP
  • Collaborate with actuaries, analysts and data scientists to deliver technically robust, industry-relevant features
  • Research and prototype new technologies to support innovation and continuous improvement
  • Contribute to a culture of curiosity, collaboration and technical excellence

Skills and Experience:

  • Strong Python development experience, with a track record of writing production-grade, maintainable code
  • Experience working with large datasets and performance-critical workloads
  • Familiarity with Azure PaaS/SaaS tools (e.g. Azure Functions, Batch, Blob/Table/Queue Storage), and CosmosDB
  • Comfort with software-engineering best practices: automated testing, version control, CI/CD, OOP
  • Proactive, problem-solving mindset with a focus on performance and user experience
  • Exposure to actuarial or non-life insurance analytics, or an interest in domain-rich environment
  • Experience picking up complex and unfamiliar analytical concepts

Interested in applying? We’d love to hear about any Python projects or schemes of work you’ve contributed to.

Where to Advertise Data Science Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise data science jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, communities and channels that actually reach senior and lead data science talent. Data science spans a broad and often misunderstood spectrum — from statistical modelling and experimental design through to machine learning engineering, product analytics and AI research. The strongest candidates identify firmly with specific subdisciplines and are frustrated by adverts that conflate data scientist with data analyst, business intelligence developer or machine learning engineer. General job boards produce high application volumes for data roles but consistently fail to match specialist data science profiles with the right opportunities. This guide, published by DataScienceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise data science roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Data Science Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Data Science Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the trends shaping UK data science hiring over the next three years — from MLE crossover to GenAI workflows. Data science has spent the past decade being described as the sexiest job of the twenty-first century. By 2026, the reality is both more nuanced and more interesting than that label ever suggested. The discipline has matured, fragmented, deepened, and in some respects reinvented itself — and the jobs market has changed with it in ways that create genuine opportunity for those who understand what employers actually want, and genuine difficulty for those still operating on assumptions formed five years ago. The data science jobs market of 2026 is not simply a larger version of what it was three years ago. The generalist data scientist — equally comfortable wrangling data, building models, and presenting insights to the board — is giving way to a more specialised landscape where employers know exactly what problem they are trying to solve and are looking for candidates with the specific depth to solve it. Machine learning engineering, causal inference, experimentation, AI product development, and domain-specific applied science have all emerged as distinct career tracks within what was previously a single, loosely defined profession. At the same time, the arrival of large language models and the broader AI capability wave has both threatened and created data science roles in equal measure. Some of the work that junior data scientists spent their early careers doing — data cleaning, exploratory analysis, basic model building — is being partially automated by AI tooling. But the demand for practitioners who can evaluate AI systems rigorously, apply statistical thinking to complex business problems, and build the data foundations on which AI depends has grown considerably. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the discipline is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping what data scientists are expected to build and know, and how to position a data science career that will remain valuable as the field continues to evolve around them. This article breaks down what the UK data science jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
