Established German insurer modernizing core systems and contact center with cloud and AI
SIGNAL IDUNA is a 116-year-old mutual insurance and financial services group headquartered in Hamburg with 10,000+ employees across Germany, Hungary, Romania, Poland, and Switzerland. The org is actively migrating to SAP S/4HANA while building cloud-native capabilities on GCP—a multi-year infrastructure shift typical of legacy financials moving toward real-time operations. Active hiring across engineering (20 roles), product (7), and security (6) signals concurrent focus on both legacy modernization and new AI-powered products, particularly in contact center automation and voice services.
Notable leadership hires: Product Management Lead, Chief Information Security Officer
