Job Description
Do you want to work with Golang and help us make pension fun, easy and hassel-free? We are looking for developers who want to be part of our journey!
What you’ll be doing:
Since we are in a start-up phase, as a System Developer, you’ll have a lot of freedom in what kind of project you are interested in and we always appreciate new ideas. Your main responsibilities will be to develop in Golang, either for the needs of our customers or you’ll work with our internal toolings and infrastructure. Right now, one of our biggest tasks includes automatization.
The system is built in Go, with persistence handled by MariaDB (on AWS Aurora) and MongoDB. Other prominent technologies include protobuf, CoreOS, Kubernetes, Docker, Prometheus, Loki and Grafana. The system consists of 16 microservices, plus two graphical interfaces and a mobile application. The front-end systems (internal CRM and a public website) are built in React and VueJS respectively, and the app in Flutter. CI is handled in GitLab, hosted on AWS on Kubernetes, including a Docker repository.
Is this you?
We believe you have come across Golang before and have an interest in learning more. You are also comfortable with Git and SQL. But to be fair, at Pensionera we value the mindset more than anything and we think that you might recognize these traits in yourself:
You like creative problem solving to find the best possible balance between technical possibilities/constraints, business value and customer need
You take pride in your work and value freedom under responsibility
You’re a fast learner and you like trying out new things
You cherish your work-life balance and you care about both your colleagues and yourself
You enjoy being challenged and finding new solutions.
This is us!
Pensionera is a Fintech company, rolling at high speed to help our customers get a better insight into their future pension. We provide an effective marked space, where our customers will be able to affect and increase their pension. Currently, we’re about 10 developers working in two streams, one focused on customer-facing products and one on internal tooling and infrastructure. Both streams are expanding and we need driven and caring new team members to join us.
We can offer you an entrepreneurial environment with plenty of room to grow as a professional and work with caring and skilled team members to learn from. We have flexible working hours, free breakfast, access to gym, pension and insurance plan according to ITP1, private healthcare plan and a lot more.
Good to know
The position as System Developer is full-time and our office is located at Vasagatan 16, Stockholm. Unfortunately, we are unable to sponsor a visa or offer a full-remote position. To apply, link you Linkedin or send us your CV in either English or Swedish.

Backend Engineer Cuvva London, United Kingdom £75,000 to £90,000 a year
August 2021

Job Description
About Cuvva
Cuvva is making car insurance radically better.
We’re creating truly flexible products that meet people’s real needs. Using lightning-fast technology to unlock better experiences and fairer prices for our customers, Cuvva is building the future of insurance every day.
Cuvva was the first UK company to sell hourly insurance through an app. Since then we’ve sold over 3 million policies and supported over 450,000 customers. We’re a world-class team of over 100 people, passionate about solving our customers’ problems. Join us.
Why work for Cuvva?
We don’t cut corners. We strive to do the right thing, even when that makes life more difficult for us.
We are customer centric and everyone in every area of the business–including our CEO & Founder Freddy–is expected to spend a few hours a month on customer support. This is so we all fully understand customer needs and how the app works! Here’s a blog post on our ‘Cops Club’.
We’ve nurtured an awesome team culture. We always speak up when we have an idea - but also 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.
We’re building a diverse team from different backgrounds, outlooks and experiences. Everyone is given a fair chance of getting a role at Cuvva. Even if you secretly don’t love insurance, trust us, you’ll love what we’re building.
About the role
You’ll work in one of our cross-functional product squads, helping the team achieve their goals - whether that’s building a new service in our backend platform, creating a new version of an existing API to deliver a new feature, or creating a CLI tool to automate something.
We work in a highly collaborative fashion, and maintain an open and transparent work environment. Engineers at Cuvva don’t just write code or implement against a spec. You’ll be expected and encouraged to take part in the entire product development process from problem-discovery to solution design, to implementation and rollout.
Each product squad autonomously owns an area of the Cuvva product. Squads are made up of engineers from multiple disciplines (backend, web, iOS, Android), product and content designers, and a product manager. Engineers at Cuvva come from a variety of backgrounds and have different but complementary skill sets. We don’t require a computer science degree - many of us are self-taught.
Our approach
We value consistently-written, simple, resilient systems. Our backend is made up of many standalone services with a JSON-based RPC interface. We aim to create a client-agnostic API design suitable for a variety of clients (mobile apps, website, internal tooling, 3rd parties). Because we’re a regulated financial company, we have interesting and rigorous requirements to meet with regards to data security and auditability.
Most systems are written in Go (some older ones are Javascript), backed by either Postgres or Mongo, and are hosted in a container environment. We heavily lean on AWS tooling such as S3, Lambda, and SQS, and we occasionally build integrations with more “legacy” 3rd party systems in the insurance industry.
You can find out more about our backend systems here:
Our libraries and Go tooling is open sourced on GitHub
“Showing off our K-sortable IDs” our blog
“How we analyse and test new pricing models” our blog
“How we test and roll out new product features” our blog
You'll do great here if you:
• Have genuine interest and curiosity about the Cuvva product, and consumer insurance in general
• Enjoy working as a team to solve problems collaboratively
• Have around 5 years of experience building rock-solid backend systems and APIs
• Have a track record of shipping great quality code with real customer impact
• Be comfortable and productive working with Go
• We don’t require commercial Go experience but you would be expected to have a basic understanding and a willingness to learn
• Having a background with at least one statically-typed language is a good sign
• Know your way around the major AWS services (or similar cloud services), and have an enthusiasm for cloud services in general
• Be comfortable working with containers (e.g. Docker, K8S, ECR, container based CI platforms)
Perks & Benefits
Benefits
As well as a competitive salary (£75-90k, dependent on experience) and equity based remuneration, benefits of working at Cuvva include:
• Brand new MacBook 💻
• 33 days holiday (inc public holidays🌞)

• Wellbeing, personal development and work from home budgets
• Yearly increases to budgets and holiday allowances

• Salary sacrifice schemes for electric bike hire and electric car lease
• Cycle to work scheme 🚲
• Season ticket loans 🚂
• A volunteer day
• Office library full of great books 📚
• Great coffee machine in the office ☕️
• Fully stocked beer and soft drink fridge (we do team drinks every Thursday)
• Monthly team outings or remote events (so far we’ve done things like karaoke, go-karting, bowling and comedy nights) 🎤
As (Senior) Software Engineer (m/f/d) you will be involved in every layer of the technology, including the robot control system, the video streaming system, our machine learning side as well as the cloud infrastructure. In addition, you will be essential in defining the foundations of our product and culture.
The profile:
You have relevant work experience in fast moving environments like a start-up, technology companies, or from technical university programs
You have got a strong knowledge in C or C++ programming, proficient Linux experience and you are always curious to learn new technologies
Fluent verbal and written English language skills
Affinity for autonomous mobility technology
You think big and like to build something, you are solution oriented and like to get stuff done
You enjoy working in a fast-moving environment
At the same time you are a true team player and we will enjoy working with you

Job Description
At Monzo we’re aiming to build the best current account in the world. We are always keen to hear from capable, creative engineers who want to help us accomplish that goal 🚀
Please note: we get lots of successful applications for Backend Engineer, so there could be a delay in scheduling interviews from the initial stage right up until the final interviews.

Our backend engineers have a variety of different backgrounds
We have several non-graduates; only some of us studied Computer Science; one of the team has a degree in Marketing; some of us have worked in huge companies; some have only ever worked in startups; others are former consultants. As long as you enjoy learning new things, we’d love to talk to you.
We encourage an open and transparent working environment
You can get involved in any aspect of the business you are interested in and,following Stripe’s example, all emails in the company are visible in an email archive. We regularly run hackathons in which people build things on our third party API and we contribute to open source software as much as possible. We’ve also made ourproduct roadmap public and give sneak peeks of features in our community forum. Our blog is a good place to learn even more about what we do!
Monzoworks in project-based sprints insmall, interdisciplinary teams
We have around 150 engineers out of roughly 800 people in total - and we have big ambitions. There are many interesting challenges ahead, and we're happy for people to move between teams or to specialise, whatever you prefer. As an engineer here you'd be able to work directly with anyone across the company, and we run regular knowledge-sharing sessions so you’ll learn heaps about everything from how banks work to effective communication.
At Monzo you will get to work with a lot of exciting new technology.
We rely heavily on the following tools and technologies:
Go to write our application code (there’s an excellent interactive Go tutorial here)
We also have two physical datacenter sites with actual cables to connect to various third parties
You should apply if:
the work we’re doing sounds exciting!
you want to be involved in building a product that you (andeveryone you know) use every day
you’re keen to learn more about new technologies and the arcane inner workings of the financial industry
you’re comfortable working in a team that deals with ambiguity
you’re interested in distributed systems and writing resilient software
you have some experience with strongly-typed languages (Go,Java, C, Scala etc.).

Product
The product backend team work primarily on creating backend services and APIs for our in-app user-facing features.

Projects that Product backend engineers have worked on recently include Summary (giving people insight into their finances to empower them to spend sensibly) and the Current Account Switch Service (all the hard work to allow users to move to Monzo quickly and easily).
Lending
The Lending team works on making borrowing money simple, fair and transparent. They've already shipped and scaled overdrafts to hundreds of thousands of Monzo customers and they've made it easy to take out a loan without the unfair fees or confusing pricing that you find elsewhere. They work on everything from the way borrowing works in the app, right down to how they move and account for money that our customers borrow. One of the most interesting problems they face is deciding how much to lend and to whom. The team believes that they can make access to credit fairer and more transparent.
Logistics
We can help you relocate to London, we can sponsor visas, and we're open to remote working (as long as you can spend around 20% of your time in London).

We’re continually hiring for Backend Engineers! Our interview process typically consists of an initial phone screen, a take-home code task, and a half-day on-site interview. We promise not to ask you any brain teasers or trick questions, and we won't make you code on a whiteboard
