Thanks to modern technology and digitalization, IT and insurance are deeply interconnected. Here are the reasons why IT jobs are in demand for the insurance industry. The insurance industry has a long history in the world, but it is definitely not a thing of the past. Even today, we are talking about a highly desirable, relevant and thriving industry. The development of the insurance industry is accompanied by the advent of new technologies and digitalization. As a result, there is a growing demand for IT professionals who focus specifically on the insurance sector. Wondering if this is the right career field for you? The experience of people who have been working in it for many years will help you decide.

1. Your work will be meaningful

Doing a job you enjoy requires not only good pay, benefits or a pleasant working environment, but also a deeper meaning that will motivate you in the long term. Developments in the insurance industry and insurance products clearly have it. The work of our developers, consultants and testers results in products used in everyday life situations. Thanks to them, insurers can provide help to those who need it most. You can also contribute to this, for example by developing software that is essential for the proper functioning of insurance companies or by testing its functionalities. Every successful product gives us a legitimately good feeling about our work.

2. You will be part of something big

The insurance and financial services industry is one of the most diversified sectors in the world. This is proven by the large companies that have been operating in this sphere for many years. Examples are well-known companies such as Uniqa, Generali or Axa, which have been active in insurance since the 19th century. Both companies are long-standing clients of ours, along with more than thirty other companies for whom our team develops and improves software. We are delighted to be trusted by the big players and to have the opportunity to be involved in their flawless, day-to-day operations.

3. You will contribute to the innovation of the insurance segment

Although the idea of regularly paying small sums of money in case of emergency dates back to the last centuries, it was not quite sufficient. Even such a ground-breaking idea needs to be further shaped and adapted to the pace of technology development. The constant automation of processes that once took forever is now a necessity. This is aided by intelligent software or the latest artificial intelligence. Our teams in the software development and testing department also deal with these terms on a daily basis.

4. Experience diversity and flexibility

In order to be sustainable and competitive, it is essential to adapt to market demands. There is a wide target group in the insurance industry, so news come from all sides. Hand in hand with them goes the development of new products, which must be well thought out and functional, but at the same time easy to apply in practice. Fulfilling these requirements is the daily mission of our teams in Bratislava, Zilina and Kosice, who often have to understand not only the demands of the client, but also of the end customers. With rapid changes and continuous improvements, we never get bored at work.

5. Gain new experience and insight

At msg life Slovakia you can avoid the problems that many small and start-up companies face. You don’t have to worry about your employer bombarding you with impossible demands on the first day. At the beginning, you will undergo training and then become part of a team of professionals who have been working in the IT and insurance industry for a few years.

Your colleagues are always happy to give you advice. Thanks to this, you can gain new, time-tested experience that will enrich not only your CV but also your personality in the future.
