Commercial and specialty insurer serving multinational enterprises across 175 countries
HDI Global SE is a public specialty insurer built around Guidewire Policy Center, Java, and a Microsoft cloud stack (Azure, 365, Entra ID), now migrating to Snowflake while replacing Azure SQL Database and SQL Server. The hiring mix is insurance- and ops-heavy with modest engineering headcount, reflecting a sales and underwriting-led business model; accelerating recruitment across 8 countries signals either new market entry or portfolio expansion in specialty lines (multinational programmes, industrial property, builders risk).

The company serves SMEs through multinational corporations, offering tailored coverage in industrial property, casualty, specialty lines, and multinational insurance solutions.
