Job Description
We are looking for a Software Engineer to join our Prudential & Analytics Platform to help transform our commercial model execution, analytics engine, and enterprise data warehouse. You’ll play a key role in modernising our cloud architecture and enabling scalable, data‑driven capabilities that support critical pricing, risk, and finance functions across the organisation.
This is an exciting opportunity to shape the next generation of our analytics and data processing platforms using Google Cloud technologies, modern Dev Ops tooling, and best‑in‑class engineering practices. Your work will contribute directly to delivering reliable, high‑quality analytical services to the wider Group.
Like the modern Britain we serve, we’re evolving. We’re investing heavily in cloud, data and modern engineering practices to transform how we deliver insights and capabilities across the Group. We’re growing with purpose — building platforms, systems, and services that are dependable, innovative, and ready for the future. Join us on this journey and you will too.
Working as part of a feature team, you’ll design, build, and deliver cloud‑native solutions that modernise our commercial analytics ecosystem. You’ll collaborate closely with data scientists, analysts, architects, and engineering peers to build scalable platforms using Google Cloud Platform, Python, SQL and modern Dev Ops pipelines.
You’ll transform legacy capabilities into modernised, automated, and observable cloud services; build high‑quality data pipelines; optimise Big Query workloads; and support containerised deployments across our environments. You’ll play an active role in shaping engineering standards, driving automation, and improving the resilience and performance of our platforms.

• Proficiency in Python and SQL
• Hands‑on experience with key Google Cloud Platform services, ideally including:
• Big Query
• Cloud Composer (Airflow)
• Cloud Storage
• Logs Explorer
• Data Catalog
• Experience building or migrating capabilities into cloud environments
• Experience with Dev Ops and CI/CD pipelines, ideally using Harness
• Understanding of containerisation and orchestration technologies, including:
• Docker
• Kubernetes
• Experience building scalable data pipelines, analytics engines, or data warehouse solutions
• Experience working in an agile development team
Any of the Following Would Be Great to See
• Broader GCP skills or certification
• Experience working with Airflow DAGs, distributed compute workloads or orchestration patterns
• Infrastructure‑as‑code experience (Terraform, Deployment Manager)
• Exposure to data modelling, optimisation of analytical workloads, or ELT/ETL patterns
• Familiarity with observability tooling, logging, and cost‑optimisation techniques
• Experience working with distributed teams and cross‑functional delivery groups
• Experience with additional programming languages (e.g., Java, Go, Type Script)
About Working For Us
Our focus is to ensure we’re inclusive every day — building an organisation that reflects modern society and celebrates diversity in all its forms. We want colleagues to feel they belong and can be their best, regardless of background, identity or culture.
We support agile working, and we were one of the first major organisations to create structured commitments around diversity, menopause support and our Working with Cancer initiative. We especially welcome applications from under‑represented groups. We’re disability confident, so if you’d like reasonable…
