Regional insurance platform modernizing legacy systems across home, motor, and SME coverage
Tower is a 150+ year-old regional insurer serving New Zealand and five Pacific nations, now executing a modernization push visible in their tech stack (Java, .NET, Spring, Micronaut, React, Azure) and active migration from monolith to microservices. The hiring velocity is accelerating across engineering, data, and sales—paired with urgent internal challenges around tech debt, data governance, and pricing system remediation—suggesting a shift from legacy maintenance toward data-driven customer experience.
Tower Insurance provides home, motor, contents, boat, travel, pet, and SME business insurance to customers across Aotearoa and the Pacific region. Operating as a public company with 501–1,000 employees based in Auckland, the organization manages high-volume customer interactions and complex pricing models across multiple product lines. Current operational focus includes cross-functional delivery coordination, front-end experience modernization, and microservice API deployment—while simultaneously addressing technical debt and data quality inconsistencies inherited from legacy systems.
Tower's primary stack spans .NET, Java, Kotlin, Spring, Micronaut, React, TypeScript, Docker, SQL, and Azure. The company is actively shifting toward microservice architecture with REST APIs and modernizing front-end experiences.
Active projects include the My Tower customer platform, group referral model sales journey redesign, pricing and refund methodology overhaul, microservice API development, and front-end experience improvements.
