Job description

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 Software 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
  • Contribute to the development of Prima’s core systems, whether building ML-driven services, designing scalable data pipelines, or creating reliable microservices;
  • Help design and maintain data pipelines that allow teams to ingest, transform, and serve high quality data efficiently;
  • Participate in the full engineering lifecycle: from exploring data and developing models to deploying services and monitoring them in production;
  • Learn continuously by experimenting, reading, and sharing ideas with teammates to stay current with new technologies.

  • What we’re looking for
  • 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, software, and ML — 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 and its main ML packages (pandas, scikit-learn, mlflow,...);
  • Experience with data pipelines or distributed data systems (e.g., Spark, Airflow).
  • Why you’ll love it here 
     
    We want to make Prima a happy and empowering place to work. So if you decide to join us, you can expect plenty of perks.
     
    🤸 Work Your Way: Enjoy full flexibility – work from home, the office or a mix of both. Plus, work from anywhere for up to 30 days a year.

    🏁 Grow with us: We may move fast at Prima, but we move together. Get access to learning resources, mentorship and a growth plan tailored to you.

    🌈 Thrive and perform: Your best work begins when you feel your best. Enjoy private healthcare, gym discounts, wellbeing programs and mental health support.
