About Zego
At Zego, we understand that traditional motor insurance holds good drivers back. It’s too complicated, too expensive, and it doesn’t reflect how well you actually drive. Since 2016, we have been on a mission to change that by offering the lowest priced insurance for good drivers.
From van drivers and gig workers to everyday car drivers, our customers are the driving force behind everything we do. We’ve sold tens of millions of policies and raised over $200 million in funding. And we’re only just getting started.
About 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.
This is a hands-on technical role. You'll build and maintain scalable, reliable, and secure data pipelines, working within an established platform and architecture. You'll work closely with peers across Engineering, Data Science, Analytics, and Product to ensure our data infrastructure is efficient and reliable.
AI is central to how we work at Zego, and that extends to engineering. You'll be encouraged to use AI tools to move faster, automate the routine, and focus your time on the problems that matter most, while staying thoughtful about where and how they add value.
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.
