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.

This team is the beating heart of Prima.

You’ll be joining 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.
