About Democrance
Democrance is a SaaS insurance technology company working to make insurance accessible and
affordable to consumers via digital channels.
We have automated the entire value chain of insurance sales from marketing to claims
processing, resulting in a substantial increase in sales efficiency of insurance campaigns,
allowing insurers to reach new market segments at no upfront cost.
We work alongside leading global insurance providers to support their product and process
innovation, in a bid to increase and complement their sales channel performance, enable them
to capture their digital–savvy customers, while at the same time making insurance accessible
and affordable for those who need it most but can afford it least.
Our digital platform brings together key industries, including insurance and telecommunications
companies as well as organizations which have large and previously untapped customer bases,
allowing uninsured or under–insured populations to buy, pay for, use and claim for insurance
simply using their mobile phone.
We work with 25 insurance companies (of which 3 of the top 10 insurers) across 16 markets in
Asia, Latin America, Middle East, Africa and Latin America from our HQ in Dubai,UAE.
Our Technology
Democrance is primarily built on Django and Vue.js, with a celery backend for sending and
processing SMS and other notifications. The application uses a combination of the Django
admin interface and a Vue.js admin area for operations, but has a number of public endpoints
that are used for interfacing with our customers’ front ends. The application has been under
development for around five years, and is reasonably mature, but has plenty of interesting
development work left. Currently we’re running on multiple cloud vendors, use ansible for deploy
orchestration and automation along with gitlab for source control and continuous integration.
Git branches & rebasing are our friends.
About You
We’re looking for someone with experience in creating visual themes by styling around mostly
predefined elements. A good understanding of SCSS or similar and a good eye for detail are
required. The app itself is built on Vue.js, so a familiarity with it or similar frameworks such as
angular or react is also required.
You appreciate the trade–offs needed for usability versus eye candy, and you are aware of when
it’s appropriate to optimize for mobile screens versus that of a desktop. Writing unit tests for
the frontend is a must, and you are familiar with nightwatch, browserstack and similar tools.
Getting things to work on all browsers is an unwelcome, but necessary part of life. Working with
well–defined API’s makes you happy. You take pride in your own work, and try to ensure you
find any errors before anyone else does.

● You enjoy both working independently and as part of highly motivated and
multidisciplinary teams
● You have excellent communication skills, documentation is second nature
● You are a tech guru but you also enjoy the business side of what you do
● You have excellent problem solving and troubleshooting skills – a passion for root
cause analysis and problem resolution
● You are interested in Financial Technology and financial inclusion as a way to improve
living standards of lower–income communities
● You have some start–up experience or mentality at least ☺
● You like sleeping at night, so your monitoring and automation skills ensure that you do.
● English required, Arabic a differentiator, and other languages most welcome!
Position Requirements
● BSc in Computer Sciences or related field
● Experienced in SCSS
● Good understanding of Vue.js or a similar js framework
● Knowledge of Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD or similar
● Ability to work in a fast development environment and quickly adapt to changes

where it is.
