Company mission
To back those who find themselves on a different path, either by choice or by circumstance, helping the exceptions to the rules that others aren’t interested in serving.
Role
Who you are
- Technical Expertise: Deep experience with production-grade ETLs, data warehousing, and robust data modelling. You are highly proficient in SQL and deeply understand Snowflake architecture
- Tooling Mastery: Hands-on experience with DBT, Looker (or similar BI tools), and orchestration frameworks like Airflow or AWS Step Functions
- Mindset: You’re proactive, customer-obsessed, and see data as a product. You think scalability, self-service, and platform-first
- Collaborative Leader: You enjoy partnering with analysts, engineers, and product teams to deliver value quickly and iteratively
- Bonus Points: Experience with Python, Java, or cloud infrastructure (AWS); background in insurance, fintech, or regulated industries; excitement about building a multi-product ecosystem
What the job involves
- In one of the world’s most advanced insurance markets, our Data Engineering team is critical to scaling faster, smarter, and more innovatively than legacy competitors. We collaborate across the company, championing a data-driven, multi-product culture, empowering every team to move faster through self-service, automation, and real-time insights
- Data Modelling at Scale: Design and maintain scalable, reliable data models that support multiple products and customer journeys, ensuring consistency across insurance, payments, retention, claims, fraud, and upcoming new products like car finance
- Cross-Domain Collaboration: Partner with product, operations, fraud, claims, retention, and growth teams to design datasets that drive real-time decisions, personalisation, and pricing optimisation for each product line
- Champion Modern Best Practices: Act as the subject matter expert for DBT, Snowflake, and Looker, setting the gold standard for how multi-product data models are built, tested, and optimised
- Coach Across the Business: Enable analysts, scientists, and engineers to self-serve effectively by building curated data layers and reusable tools
- Optimise for Speed and Cost: Tune our data platform to deliver faster queries, lower cloud costs, and seamless onboarding of new products — key to enabling rapid product experimentation and scale
- Data as a Product: Treat our data models as products themselves — reliable, observable, and optimised for customer impact across insurance, payments, loyalty, and future offerings
- Own the Full Stack: Gain deep expertise in the full data platform (AWS, Snowflake, DBT, Looker, orchestration frameworks) to deliver safe, reliable solutions at pace
- Automation & Efficiency: Build with a bias towards automation and reusability, essential for scaling multiple product lines without a linear increase in complexity or cost

Our take
For many ordinary people, insurance can be inaccessibly expensive. Marshmallow solves this problem by using data and technology to offer fairer coverage for car and van owners.
Car insurers generally quotes drivers according to population data, and many drivers are overcharged due to age and demographic. By leveraging data and proprietary technology, Marshmallow can offer more accurate and personalised quotes delivered in minutes, meaning lower fees for drivers. Naturally, this approach has proven popular, with Marshmallow garnering impressive reviews and accolades since it first launched.
The insurtech space is becoming increasingly competitive, and more and more tech companies are moving into the car insurance space, so the company is currently looking to expand into other insurance areas. Marshmallow’s unicorn status is a clear indicator of the company’s ongoing success and scalability, and will help to facilitate this diversification.
For now, the company is focused on helping those outside the norm, such as those who have uprooted their lives and moved to the UK. But in the future, it hopes to expand to any group of people who are unfairly marginalised and whose problems Marshmallow is uniquely positioned to solve.
