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 300 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.

  • 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;

  • Motivation and eagerness to learn from more experienced teammates.

  • 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).

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.

About Prima

Launched in 2015, Prima became the market leader in the online motor sector in Italy in 2020, redesigning and digitalising the entire insurance value chain by building its own technology platforms from scratch, based on a cutting-edge tech stack and advanced data analytics capabilities.

Prima was backed by some of the world’s most prestigious financial institutions. Goldman Sachs and The Blackstone Group invested in 2018, in what was at the time the largest venture capital round ever raised in Italy. The Carlyle Group joined the shareholder base in 2022. All these investors exited in November 2025, when Prima became part of the AXA Group.

In 2021, Prima launched its Home and Family product and embarked on a journey to become a one-stop shop for customers looking to purchase insurance products.

In 2022, Prima began its international expansion: we now have a team of more than 100 professionals in London and over 90 in Madrid, driving growth in both the UK and Spanish markets.
