About The Role

Are you looking for a new challenge? Fancy helping us shape the future of motor insurance? Prima could be the place for you.

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.
