Job Description - Data Engineering Manager

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 an Engineering Manager to join our Claims Data Management team

 

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.

 

Excited to make an impact? Here are the details

What you’ll do



  • Define and drive the technical roadmap, ensuring alignment with business priorities for a team of 3 to 6 engineers

  • Take ownership of architectural decisions, overseeing implementation while ensuring maintainability, reliability, scalability, and security

  • Support the development team in delivering high-impact initiatives on time

  • Foster a culture of continuous learning and professional growth, while maintaining an engaging and motivating work environment

  • Have fun


What we’re looking for


  • Strong hands-on background with 5+ years in data engineering (e.g. SQL, Python, Spark or similar distributed processing frameworks)

  • 2+ years in a leadership role, managing engineering teams, overseeing development processes, and driving technical decisions

  • Experience designing and operating reliable data pipelines in production (batch and ideally streaming / event-driven systems) and making data modelling decisions

  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to engage effectively with non-technical stakeholders and external business partners

  • Proven ability to lead initiatives from inception to successful delivery, collecting business requirements and converting them into actionable technical ones

Nice-to-Have


  • Experience with event-driven architectures (e.g. Kafka or similar)

  • Experience with modern cloud data platforms (e.g. AWS, Databricks, Redshift or similar)

  • Experience evolving domain data models in operationally complex environments


€70,000 - €100,000 a year

Grow with us: We may move fast at Prima, but we move together. Get access to learning resources, mentorship and a growth plan tailored to you.


Thrive and perform: Your best work begins when you feel your best. Enjoy private healthcare, gym discounts, wellbeing programs and mental health support.


Think you’re a match? Apply now.
