Data Engineer

Help shape how data powers the future of Veygo.

Data sits at the heart of every decision we make at Veygo.

As we continue to scale, we're investing in our data platform and looking for engineers who want to build modern, reliable and scalable solutions that make a real difference.

As a Data Engineer, you'll build the foundations that power decision-making across Veygo.

You'll create scalable data pipelines, improve the quality and reliability of our platform, and ensure teams have fast, trusted access to the data they need. Whether it's enabling better customer experiences, supporting product experimentation or helping the business make smarter commercial decisions, your work will have a direct impact across Veygo.

Working with technologies including Snowflake, Matillion and AWS, you'll partner closely with Product, Engineering and Analytics to shape the future of our data platform, continually improving how data is collected, transformed and used across the business.

• Build reliable, scalable data pipelines that support customer and commercial decision-making.
• Improve the performance, quality and observability of our data platform.
• Create data models that enable fast, trusted analytics across the business.
• Partner with Product, Engineering and Analytics teams to embed data into everything we build.
• Champion engineering best practices including testing, automation and CI/CD.
• Continuously improve how data is managed, governed and delivered across Veygo.

What you'll bring

• Commercial experience as a Data Engineer building modern cloud-based data platforms.
• Strong SQL skills and experience designing scalable data models.
• Hands-on experience with Snowflake and Matillion or similar.
• Experience building ETL/ELT pipelines and working with modern data warehousing practices.
• Experience working within AWS or another cloud platform.
• Python or similar scripting experience.
• A collaborative approach, working closely with engineers, analysts and product teams to solve business problems.
• A passion for improving engineering standards, automation, observability and data quality.
• Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to simplify complex technical challenges.

It would be great if you also have

• Supported near real-time data platforms.
• Worked with infrastructure as code or cloud automation.
• Built data solutions within digital product organisations or customer-focused businesses.
• Mentored other engineers or contributed to engineering communities of practice.

Why Veygo?

At Veygo, we’re here to unlock independence.

For young drivers, getting on the road is a massive life moment - freedom, confidence, responsibility, and finally not needing a lift everywhere. For parents, it’s a big moment too: letting go, while knowing their child is protected and supported.

We make insurance the easy bit.

Since launching in 2016, we’ve helped more than one million customers and sold over eight million policies by making car insurance simpler, more flexible and built around real life. Now, we’re evolving from short-term cover into a brand that supports young drivers through their first years on the road - helping them build safer habits, manage costs and move forward with confidence.

Backed by Admiral Group, we combine scale-up energy with the strength, trust and expertise of one of the UK’s leading insurers. Our teams get the freedom to experiment, the ownership to make things happen and the platform to build products that reach millions.

If you want to solve real customer problems, work with smart cross-functional teams and help shape the future of insurance for young drivers, you’ll fit right in.
