Fancy helping us shape the future of motor insurance?
Prima could be the place for you.
Since 2015, we’ve been using our love of data and tech to rethink motor insurance and bring drivers a great experience at a great price. Our story began in Italy, where we’ve quickly become the number one online motor insurance provider. In fact, we’re trusted by over 5 million drivers. And now we’re expanding to help millions more drivers in the UK and Spain.
To help fuel that growth, we need a Junior Data Engineer to join our Engineering team.
This team is the beating heart of Prima.
You’ll be joining over 350 engineers across software development, infrastructure, operations, and security. Fueled by curiosity, experimentation, and collaboration, you’ll help deliver scalable, impactful solutions that shape the future of insurance.
Excited to make an impact? Here are the details
What You’ll Do
- Shaping the architecture of data products designed for data analytics and data science specifically focusing on use cases like forecasting, feature engineering, customer behaviour, and integration of new data sources.

- Build reusable technology that enables teams to ingest, store, transform, and serve their own data products.
