Data Engineer

About the role

ABOUT ZEGO 🚀

At Zego, we're on a mission to do the good thing, not the insurance thing.

Insurance hasn't changed much in over a century. The way we live, work and travel has. We're building the real-time, AI-driven infrastructure that powers innovative insurance, so good drivers get cover that works the way they actually drive.

We're not just updating insurance; We're leading the AI evolution in insurance 🤖

For us, AI isn't a line on a roadmap or a buzzword on a slide. It's our operating reality, and it's how we build products that back drivers instead of the old insurance playbook.

We don't do things slowly, and we don't do bureaucracy. We back high-performance builders who want ownership, early responsibility and the chance to do the most career-defining work of their lives. You'll get the space to try things, the tools to move fast, and the room to see your ideas reach millions of drivers.

Do not take our word for it. Read what Zegons say about us on Glassdoor https://www.glassdoor.co.uk/Overview/Working-at-Zego-Insurance-EI_IE1851459.11,25.htm.

If you're ready to build the future of insurance, we're hiring.

PURPOSE OF THE ROLE 🎯

We're looking for a Data Engineer to join our data engineering function, helping to build and maintain the data platform that powers Zego's ambitious growth.

You'll learn from experienced engineers across the team, and you'll be encouraged to grow your technical skills while contributing to high-quality, well-tested work.
