About Cuvva
Cuvva is a new kind of insurance thatās fast, friendly, and flexible.
We get it - insurance doesnāt sound exciting. But this isnāt insurance as you know it. Itās insurance the way it should be. Weāre 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. Weāve sold over 1 million policies. Weāve written over 260,000 lines of code. And weāre a fast-growing team of over 70 talented people.
Why work for Cuvva?
Weāre shaping the future of insurance. So we donāt cut corners. We try to do the right thing, even when that makes life more difficult for us.
Weāll speak up when we have an idea - but we know when to let go and get behind something else.
And weāre comfortable giving and receiving honest feedback, and trying new ways of doing things. Itās the Cuvva way.
Weāre 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 donāt love insurance. (Donāt worry - we didnāt either.)
And if you need any adjustments or support when youāre applying to Cuvva, no worries. Just let us know.
As well as a competitive salary (Ā£75-90k, dependent on experience) and equity based remuneration, benefits of working at Cuvva include:
Equality
Weāre 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.
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:
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!

Security at Monzo
Monzoās security team has a wide range of responsibilities, from infrastructure security to application security. As a bank, we are solving diverse, novel problems to ensure that our customers are safe and secure.

As a member of our security team you would be responsible for constantly improving the security of Monzo, and you would work closely with other teams to ensure that our systems are secure by design.

Our 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, weād 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 Stripeās example, all emails in the company are visible in an email archive.

Go to write our application code (thereās an excellent interactive Go tutorial here) Cassandra for most persistent data storage Kafka for our asynchronous message queue Linkerd/Finagle for RPC Kubernetes and Docker to schedule and run our services (Oliver, our Head of Engineering, gave a great talk at KubeCon on how we use these technologies) AWS for most of our infrastructure React for internal web dashboards We also have two physical datacenter sites with actual cables to connect to various third parties You should apply if:
the work weāre doing sounds exciting! you want to be involved in building a product that you (and everyone you know) use every day youāre constantly looking for flaws in systems and can reason about how best to address them youāre keen to learn more about new technologies and the arcane inner workings of the financial industry youāre comfortable working in a team that deals with ambiguity youāre interested in distributed systems and writing resilient software you have some experience with strongly-typed languages (Go, Java, C, Scala etc.).

We offer competitive salaries based on skills and experience, which could be anywhere between Ā£40,000 - Ā£100,000 per year.
We care deeply about inclusive working practices and diverse teams. If youād prefer to work part-time or as a job-share, weāll try our best to make this happen. Just let us know in your application so we can plan for it.
