We believe technology is the engine behind innovation. Our engineers don’t just build systems, they shape the future of insurance. We spoke with five engineers across all levels and disciplines to find out what life is really like at Zego, looking at the challenges they tackle, the culture they thrive in, and what keeps them motivated.
Solving real world problems at scale
Whether it’s rethinking onboarding flows or deploying machine learning models to interpret real-time mobile data, Zego engineers are constantly solving high-impact challenges.
“We tackle complex challenges in telematics and insurance, using data to make driving fairer and more accessible.” – Patricia, Staff Data Scientist
“My favourite project was integrating authentication between our mobile app and self-serve portal. It was technically complex but had a big impact on user experience.” – Bogdan, Tech Lead
“Diving into web components and building an application without relying on a traditional framework really pushed me to grow and deepened my understanding of web fundamentals.” – Hélène, Senior Software Engineer
Continuous learning and technical growth
Engineers at Zego are trusted with ownership from day one and supported with the space, resources, and mentorship to grow.
“Zego invests in growth, not just through a learning budget, but by encouraging us to take on bigger responsibilities.” – Gabriel, Software Engineer
“I’ve had the opportunity to work on diverse projects, collaborate with brilliant engineers, and take on leadership responsibilities.” – Patricia, Staff Data Scientist
A culture of support and autonomy
From code reviews to cross-team collaboration, Zego’s engineering culture is rooted in trust, openness, and empowerment.
“Engineers have genuine autonomy to drive solutions forward. The culture is built on ownership and support.” – Bogdan, Tech Lead
“Everyone is always open to helping, there’s no blame culture, and decisions are made with everyone’s opinions in mind.” – Rachel, Software Engineer
Support that sets you up to build
For engineers earlier in their Zego journey, the company offers a fast-paced, high-trust environment with plenty of mentorship.
“I can hop on a call within minutes to debug or pair on a problem. I never feel like a bother – everyone’s really happy to see others succeed.” – Rachel, Software Engineer
“Before working at Zego, I didn’t have the opportunity to grow and learn. Now I feel genuinely valued and supported.” – Gabriel, Software Engineer
Engineering with purpose and impact
From physics-based modelling to artificial intelligence (AI) tools, the technical work is deep, meaningful, and tied directly to business impact.
“We’re interpreting movement, behaviour, and context from raw sensor signals. It requires understanding both data and the physical world.” – Patricia, Staff Data Scientist
“We’re encouraged to explore innovative solutions, especially using AI to improve efficiency – not just for us, but for the business.” – Bogdan, Tech Lead
Why Zego?
Zego isn’t just another tech company. Engineers here are part of a mission to make insurance smarter, fairer, and more accessible.
“There are always interesting problems to solve alongside genuinely great people.” – Bogdan, Tech Lead
“It’s refreshing to deploy features quickly and see the impact immediately.” – Rachel, Software Engineer
“I get to work across a variety of projects and technologies that have real impact, and I feel trusted to take ownership and make decisions that matter.” – Hélène, Senior Software Engineer
