Job Description
About Cuvva
Cuvva is a new kind of insurance that’s fast, friendly, and flexible.
We get it - insurance doesn’t sound exciting. But this isn’t insurance as you know it. It’s insurance the way it should be. We’re putting the customer first and building products that solve real human needs.
We were the first company in the UK to sell hourly insurance, and the first to sell insurance through an app. We’ve sold over 1 million policies. We’ve written over 260,000 lines of code. And we’re a fast-growing team of over 70 talented people.
Why work for Cuvva?
We’re shaping the future of insurance. So we don’t cut corners. We try to do the right thing, even when that makes life more difficult for us.
We’ll speak up when we have an idea - but we know when to let go and get behind something else.
And we’re comfortable giving and receiving honest feedback, and trying new ways of doing things. It’s the Cuvva way.
We’re building a diverse team with different backgrounds, outlooks and experiences. So we give everyone a fair chance of getting a role at Cuvva. Even if you secretly don’t love insurance. (Don’t worry - we didn’t either.)
And if you need any adjustments or support when you’re applying to Cuvva, no worries. Just let us know.
As well as a competitive salary (£75-90k, dependent on experience) and equity based remuneration, benefits of working at Cuvva include:
Equality
We’re committed to ensuring that everyone has a fair chance to join Cuvva, whatever your background. We will always treat your application in a fair and equal manner.
Professional development budget
Brand new MacBook
Health and wellbeing budget
Enhanced parental leave
Workplace pension scheme
33 days of holiday a year (including public holidays )
Referral bonus when you bring your friends to join the Cuvva team
Office library full of great books
Fresh fruit and breakfast club every day
Season ticket loans
Cycle to work scheme
A day off to volunteer
One-to-one sessions with our Sanctus coach, giving you a safe space to talk about your mental health
Coffee machine in the office
Fully stocked beer and soft drink fridge - we do team drinks every Thursday
Regular team lunches
Monthly team outings (so far we’ve done things like karaoke, go-karting, bowling and comedy night)
About the role
We're looking for a software engineer who has held senior positions in engineering teams within high-growth, high-scale startups, who will operate with a high level of autonomy, ensuring impeccable reliability and availability. You care deeply about building rock-solid infrastructure for the long term, with a track record of delivering solutions which support your team and your product.
You will develop Cuvva's core platform, abstracting the key processes required to sell insurance, delivering solutions that allow the team to develop strong and stable products, without having to spend time ensuring they get the basics right.
Aside from developing core platform services, we expect you will also become heavily involved with ops and security activities, contributing towards the maintenance of our servers, AWS account, etc.
"Core platform"
When we refer to the "core platform", we mean the services which underpin the processes of all insurance activities on our system.
For example, we expect one of these to be the "policy service", which might be responsible for ensuring compliant issuance of policies, coordinating mid-term adjustments, preventing overlapping policies (double insurance), etc.
Other services could include user authentication, risk & pricing calculation, handling the process of modifying user data in-line with any mid-term adjustment requirements.
All services we consider to be part of the core platform will have strict requirements around stability, data integrity and transactional safety. All functionality must fail safely and explicitly, for example using 2-phase commit processes or other similar techniques. This will also require a reasonable level of testing to validate this safety.
The perfect addition to our team will have:
a fiercely independent and self-driven approach
5+ years' commercial experience working on back-end systems at high-scale startups
at least a year of commercial experience working with Go
strong knowledge of security practices, ideally with a slightly grey-hat background
a working knowledge of the entire web stack - from how DNS lookups are transmitted, to how browsers prioritize CSS rules
awareness of compliance and financial regulation
We are a small team so it is important that the successful candidate is not only technically highly competent, but also a great cultural fit!

At Spaceship, we’re on a mission to help our generation build wealth. We started with Super and we recently launched Voyager - an investment app designed to make investing accessible. But we’re just getting started.
We are on the cusp of shaking up an industry by putting the customer first. We have the investor backing and product roadmap to realise our ambition, but we need the people to make it happen - especially when it comes to engineering.
While growth is a key focus, we aren’t hiring for the sake of it - the team’s engineering standard is high, and to build world-class investment products, we are dedicated to recruiting the best.
In summary: this represents an ideal opportunity for someone wanting to join a highly capable technical team in a growing startup that has proven itself at every step of the journey to date.
What will you be doing?
As a Software Engineer at Spaceship, you will work in a collaborative team environment where each engineer influences the technical and architectural direction. Our stack is modern - Go in the backend; React in the frontend - all running on a microservice and distributed architecture.
Some of our engineers focus purely on backend, some on frontend, others full-stack. We don’t have rigid preset roles, as we are growing and have space for exceptional engineers of different specialities and seniority.
Yes, we would love it if you have experience in the technologies we are using, but we also know that the best people learn quickly. So if you are excited by the prospect of building products that are unique to the market, while shipping code on a daily basis, then we would love to hear from you.
What are we looking for?
Our ideal wishlist is:
3+ years experience as a software engineer
Proficiency in either: Golang, SQL, gRPC for backend; React, Redux for frontend
Experience in financial services
A startup mentality
Perks & Benefits
Very competitive salary + meaningful equity options (in one of Australia’s fastest growing financial services startups)
Flexible work hours
Brand new hardware with all the necessary accessories
Continuous learning and training
Interview Process

The successful candidate will have strong web app and RESTfull API experience and will be able to support our in-house development team and can start immediately. Knowledge of micro services is also helpful.
The role would involve setting up the API framework as well as any authentication (OAuth2.0) and validation middleware. Routes would then need to be implemented and integrated. Role would also involve supporting any extra code requirements of the development team inside the scope of the API project.
The work will be carried out as part of a small team, based in London (Mayfair). Competitive rates offered, as well as flexible working hours although the position is full time and on site and the successful candidate must be available at least 4 days per week at our office in London.
In general Verisart seeks engineers interested in applying cryptography at real world problems. Our problem lies within the art market as we address the problem of proving provenance for artworks and building evidence based certificates of authenticity. We recognize that cryptography is not a magic bullet. We want to use it intelligently to provide evidence where possible for people to interpret, like the web of trust. We’re looking for people who understand how to apply cryptography to problems. While understanding the mathematical backgrounds to cryptography is great, it’s not essential if you understand how the cryptographic primitives like hashing and message signing work together to solve real problems. We value passion and hard work when tackling challenges and above all else although an interest in arts and collectibles is helpful.

Job Description
Pusher’s realtime APIs power applications around the world across various industries. When you see an in-app chat, a collaborative text editor, or anything else that updates instantly—it could be us shifting events behind the scenes. This role is specifically for the Chatkit team, where we are aspiring to be the industry leader of all chat SaaS by empowering developers to add chat functionality in a fraction of the development time.
As a Chatkit Engineer you will:
Massively scale up the core of Chatkit services
Influence a long-term technical roadmap for the product
Mentor the team to help make Chatkit the industry-leading chat API
What you will be able to learn
Great software engineers never stop learning, so we want to provide you opportunities for improving your knowledge. As a Chatkit Engineer:
You will get to learn and use leading-edge technologies, like Kubernetes, in high-traffic production environments
You will have a chance to learn from many experienced engineers with various technical backgrounds
You will help take Pusher’s flagship new product through a period of significant growth, encountering many engineering challenges along the way
What you will typically do
You will become the go-to expert for at least one large area of the codebase
You will need to be able to work comfortably solving ambiguous and complex problems
You will need to dive into both new and familiar areas of our code to support more inexperienced members of your team, and communicate effectively whether it be pair-programming, in a code review, or in a proposal for a new improvement or service
You will be a member of the on-call rotation, and be expected to follow through with suggestions for how to prevent future system outages, or implement self-healing systems
You will determine how to track and implement metrics of quality and drive improvements to our benchmarking process
You will also be a member of the customer support rotation during normal business hours. The Chatkit team believes in providing the best possible customer experience. In these early stages of the product lifecycle, we get firsthand insight into the challenges, complaints, and excitement of our customers through a customer support rotation
What working in the Chatkit team looks like
The Chatkit team uses a modern tech stack. Our services are written in Go and deployed on Kubernetes. Pusher uses and supports many other projects from the Cloud Native Computing Foundation.
The Chatkit team subscribes to the lean methodology. We work in short iterations with as little bureaucracy as possible. We value continuous improvement and expect team members to voice their concerns early and often so that we may address things before they become problems.
The Chatkit team breaks down silos through collaborating, information sharing, and pairing. We rotate ownership of interesting problems like benchmarking, and encourage pairing on new proposals and SDKs.
What Pusher is like
We strongly believe in the importance of diversity and inclusion. They not only provide a better working environment but also improve the quality of our services. We welcome people of different nationalities, backgrounds, experiences, abilities and perspectives.
We are here to help our customers build delightful applications. By solving significant engineering challenges and packaging them into easy to use APIs, we let developers focus on making their users happy.
We put emphasis on collaboration between people and teams. Everyone is on the same mission, so sharing work helps us reach our goals faster. Throwing problems over the wall and pointing fingers at each other is not our style.
We strive for transparency. Keeping everyone well-informed is crucial for building trust, efficiency and satisfaction at work.
