About Zego

At Zego, we know that traditional motor insurance holds good drivers back. It’s too complicated, too expensive, and it doesn't take into account how well you actually drive.

  • Skilled in container management and orchestration using Docker and Kubernetes.
  • You have a collaborative approach to working and enjoy solving problems in a cross-functional team.
  • Experienced using monitoring and observability tools such as DataDog, Honeycomb and Sentry to support management of production systems.
