We’re a commercial motor insurer on a mission to save people time and money. From scooter delivery riders to private hire taxi drivers, our customers are our driving force. We’re making insurance fairer and more human for every one of them.
When we started back in 2016, we knew that traditional insurance held businesses back. It was too complicated, too expensive and too time consuming. So we set out to change things, building insurance solutions that empower professional drivers throughout the UK and Europe.
So far, we’ve raised over $200 million in funding. We’ve grown from a scrappy start-up into an industry changing organisation, and there’s plenty more to come.
That’s where you come in
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help us work across a number of different projects within our Telematics team.
Within our Telematics team we use advanced digital signal processing and machine learning to process high-frequency sensor data to generate a comprehensive view of driving behaviour. We use this information to drive the future of insurance, creating fairer insurance products and helping drivers to be safer on the roads.
We build services using Python. We use Protobuf and gRPC for inter-service communication and we deploy using Kubernetes and a variety of AWS services (S3, RDS, Kinesis, SQS, EKS, etc). We use tools like Sentry and Datadog to monitor running services and Snowflake for data warehousing. We adhere to the principles of CI and CD, and automate every part of the deployment process.
It is an exciting time to join, and you’ll partner with world class engineers, data scientists and product managers to help make Zego the best loved insurtech in the world.

How we work
We believe that teams work better when they have time to collaborate and space to get things done. We call it Zego Hybrid.
Our hybrid way of working is unique. We don't mandate fixed office days. Instead, we foster a flexible approach that empowers every Zegon to perform at their best. We ask you to spend at least one day a week in our central London office (next to Liverpool Street). You have the flexibility to choose the day that works best for you and your team. We cover the costs for all company-wide events (3 per year), and also provide a separate
