Are you looking for a new challenge?
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.
- Support the data transformation by setting up best practices in areas like Data modelling, performance optimisation, Data Governance etc, ensuring that the data used within Prima is consistent, available and reliable.
- Build reusable technology that enables teams to ingest, store, transform, and serve their own data products.
- Engaging with data scientists and machine learning engineers to explore the product landscape and refine data requirements for enhanced data infrastructure.
What we’re looking for
- Strong academic background in STEM disciplines;
- Ability to break down problems, learn quickly, and test different approaches;
- Programming foundations (language is not important. We value clean, maintainable code above all);
- Curiosity for data and software — whether from coursework, projects, or personal initiatives;
- Interest in building systems end-to-end: from ingesting and transforming data, to creating models, to deploying services;
- Motivation and eagerness to learn from more experienced teammates.
Nice-to-have
- Participation in hackathons, open-source contributions, or side projects;
- Knowledge of Python
- Experience with data pipelines or distributed data systems (e.g., Spark, Airflow).
