Key skills for this role
The Data team at Zego partners with the business to maximise the value of data. Through collaborative engineering and analytics, we ensure our teams are equipped with relevant and reliable insights to drive fast, confident and high-impact decisions.
We're a small, dynamic team responsible for all aspects of data — availability, quality, integration, problem formulation, success metrics, reporting, and analytics. We take an AI-First approach: AI is now central to how we work, and we focus less on hand-writing code and more on framing problems, specifying intent, and owning the trust infrastructure (testing, contracts, observability) that the business relies on.
At Zego, we understand that traditional motor insurance holds good drivers back. It's too complicated, too expensive, and it doesn't reflect how well you actually drive. Since 2016, we have been on a mission to change that by offering the lowest priced insurance for good drivers.
From van drivers and gig workers to everyday car drivers, our customers are the driving force behind everything we do. We've sold tens of millions of policies and raised over $200 million in funding. And we're only just getting started.

We're looking for an Analytics Engineer who's genuinely excited about how this craft is changing. The way we build is shifting: AI tools now handle a lot of the heavy lifting of writing SQL and boilerplate, which means the job is increasingly less about typing code and more about understanding the business problem, specifying what "good" looks like, and making sure what we ship is correct and trustworthy.
In practice, that means you'll design and build data models with the support of AI-assisted workflows, and you'll own a growing share of the testing, data contracts, and observability that let the rest of the business rely on our data with confidence. You'll work closely with senior engineers and stakeholders, with plenty of room to grow your technical depth and take on more ownership over time.
You'll have a solid technical foundation, a natural curiosity for data, and a healthy instinct to question whether a number is actually right — not just whether a query ran.
Work with stakeholders to understand business needs and translate them into clear, well-scoped requirements
Build and maintain robust data models and exposures in dbt, Snowflake, and Looker — using AI-assisted development to move faster, spending less time hand-writing boilerplate and more time specifying intent, reviewing, and refining
Read, debug, and critically review SQL (including AI-generated code), so we ship models we can trust
Document modelling decisions, trade-offs, and outcomes clearly
Wrangle and integrate data from multiple third-party sources (e.g. Amplitude, Segment, Google Ads)
Help build and maintain the "trust infrastructure" — tests, data contracts, and observability — that lets the business depend on our models
Ensure quality, reliability, and stability across data models and pipelines
Create secure, efficient data shares for external partners (e.g. S3, SFTP, Snowflake Data Sharing)
Contribute to the continuous improvement of our data platform, tooling, and ways of working — including how we use AI in our workflows
Support business users across the company to promote a culture of data-driven decision-making
Help translate business questions into well-designed data solutions and metrics
Help enable and maintain self-service capabilities within our BI tools
You'll have around 1–3 years' experience as an Analytics Engineer or in a similar role
You'll have solid SQL skills — comfortable reading, writing, debugging, and critically reviewing queries (including AI-generated ones); experience with dbt and/or Looker is a plus
You'll have some familiarity with modern data platforms (e.g. Snowflake, dbt, AWS, GCP, Looker)
You'll have experience with version control tools such as Git
You'll ideally have some exposure to Python for data or analytics engineering tasks
You'll have a meticulous eye for detail and strong problem-solving instincts — you care about whether the answer is correct, not just whether the code runs
You'll be genuinely excited about AI and how it changes our work — already using (or quickly building confidence with) AI tools to work smarter, and taking ownership of staying ahead. This is central to how our team works, not a nice-to-have.
You'll have commercial curiosity — an interest in the "why" behind the numbers and the ability to connect data work to business outcomes
Experience in the insurance sector is a plus. As more of the routine coding becomes AI-assisted, domain understanding becomes more valuable, not less — so we're keen to grow yours.
