Company:

Description:

Configuration Engineers are responsible for creating the business logic that drives Darwin™, using Darwin Configuration Language (DCL*). This functionality sits at multiple configuration levels, as follows:

• Organization (standardized fields / inputs or calculations reusable across an organization)
• Scheme (benefit funding rules, enrolment periods across a Client’s scheme)
• Benefit templates (cost calculations, validations, and selection options based upon a benefit provider’s products).

Templates written by Configuration Engineers will be used to standardize and simplify the implementation of Client schemes across the globe.
