About the Company

At Zego, we're on a mission to do the good thing, not the insurance thing. Insurance hasn't changed much in over a century. The way we live, work and travel has. We're building the real-time, AI-driven infrastructure that powers innovative insurance, so good drivers get cover that works the way they actually drive. We're not just updating insurance; We're leading the AI evolution in insurance. We don't do things slowly, and we don't do bureaucracy. We back high-performance builders who want ownership, early responsibility and the chance to do the most career-defining work of their lives.

About the Role

In 18 months, you own backend services that customers use every day, and you are ready for the next level rather than waiting for it. This is a hands-on backend role in one of our product teams for someone early in their career who is already shipping code professionally and wants to get senior fast. It is not a role for someone who wants to sit at this level for years.

Responsibilities

  • ● Building, testing and shipping backend services that power products our customers use every day
  • ● Writing clear, well-tested code that you and your teammates will be happy to maintain
  • ● Reviewing other engineers' code and learning from theirs
  • ● Pairing with senior engineers on the harder problems and levelling up along the way
  • ● Taking ownership of what you do not yet know, asking good questions and seeking feedback
  • ● Using AI tools as part of your daily workflow and helping the team get better at using them

Requirements

  • ● Professional coding experience - You have been actively developing software in a professional setting
  • ● Solid fundamentals - Data structures, basic algorithms, object-oriented programming, testing and version control
  • ● Growth mindset - You treat gaps in your knowledge as opportunities, not weaknesses and go and find what you do not know, rather than waiting to be told
  • ● Hunger to progress - You want to be a Senior Engineer, you want to get there as fast as you reasonably can and you are up for putting in the work
  • ● Good communication - You can explain what you are working on, ask for help when you are stuck, and give useful feedback in code reviews
  • ● You work AI-first - You will use AI daily here, and we mean daily

Benefits

  • ● Market-competitive salary, benchmarked against your function and reviewed every year
  • ● Annual performance bonus, linked to company performance and your contribution
  • ● Share options
