Insurance and pension platform modernizing core systems with AI and analytics
VidaCaixa is a 500+ person insurance and pension provider integrated into CaixaBank's ecosystem, operating from Madrid. The tech stack reveals a hybrid modernization strategy: Python + Langchain + Vertex AI for emerging ML work, paired with entrenched financial systems (Murex, SimCorp Dimension) and streaming infrastructure (Kafka, RabbitMQ). Active hiring skews heavily toward engineering and finance roles at senior level, with 25 positions posted in the last 30 days — consistent with simultaneous efforts to build a new core platform (LAIA) while maintaining legacy pension and insurance applications. Pain points center on audit compliance, transformation momentum, and moving from functional silos toward data-driven decision-making.
VidaCaixa delivers life insurance, pension plans, retirement savings, and socially responsible investment products to individuals and employer groups across Spain. The company operates as CaixaBank's social welfare and insurance subsidiary, built on stated values of quality, trust, and social commitment. Core operations span traditional pension administration (rentas vitalicias, planes de pensiones) and life insurance underwriting, supported by back-office infrastructure in SimCorp Dimension (a portfolio and asset management platform) and emerging digital capabilities in benefits administration and fiscal automation. The organization is headquartered in Madrid and operates exclusively in Spain.
