Paddle offers SaaS companies a completely different approach to their payments infrastructure.

We have over 230+ talented employees serving over 3000 software sellers in 245 territories globally. Backed by investors including FTV Capital, Kindred, Notion, and 83North, Paddle aims to define the next wave of B2B SaaS leaders.

Why youâll love working at Paddle
We are a diverse team of 230 (and growing!) people who care deeply about enabling a great culture which is inclusive no matter your background. We celebrate our diverse group of talented employees and we pride ourselves on our transparent, collaborative, friendly and respectful culture.

NHS prescriptions are complicated. And we want to change that. Driven by an innovative spirit and strong moral compass, weâre on a mission to make NHS prescriptions simple for everyone.
Since 2015 weâve grown from a plucky start-up to a team of over 200 people â and become the fastest growing pharmacy in the UK. Today, over half a million people use our apps to manage their NHS prescriptions, and our patients rate us as âExcellentâ on Trustpilot.
But thereâs so much more to do. Because while 1 in 2 adults in the UK has a repeat prescription, only 3.2% of them use an online pharmacy. And we need bright minds to help us change how people manage their medicine for good.

You like being able to dip in and out of different parts of the stack wherever you are most needed and are keen to get stuck into and learn about the parts you donât know yet
You love mentoring other engineers and believe that doing it is at least as valuable as your work as an individual contributor
This role may not be for you if
Youâre more into quibbling about tech stacks or coding styles (we have linters for that) than creating a really great product
You measure your success by lines of code written over the impact it has
You only want to work off fully specified requirements and to not have to talk with your team mates

Job Description
About Cuvva
Cuvva is making car insurance radically better.
Weâre creating truly flexible products that meet peopleâs 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 weâve sold over 3 million policies and supported over 450,000 customers. Weâre a world-class team of over 100 people, passionate about solving our customersâ problems. Join us.
Why work for Cuvva?
We donât 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 businessâincluding our CEO & Founder Freddyâis 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! Hereâs a blog post on our âCops Clubâ.
Weâve 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 weâre comfortable giving and receiving honest feedback, and trying new ways of doing things.
Weâre 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 donât love insurance, trust us, youâll love what weâre building.
About the role
Youâll work in one of our cross-functional product squads, helping the team achieve their goals - whether thatâs 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 donât just write code or implement against a spec. Youâll 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 donât 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 weâre 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 âlegacyâ 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
âShowing off our K-sortable IDsâ our blog
âHow we analyse and test new pricing modelsâ our blog
âHow we test and roll out new product featuresâ 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
â˘Â We donât 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
â˘Â Know your way around the major AWS services (or similar cloud services), and have an enthusiasm for cloud services in general
â˘Â Be comfortable working with containers (e.g. Docker, K8S, ECR, container based CI platforms)
Perks & Benefits
Benefits
As well as a competitive salary (ÂŁ75-90k, dependent on experience) and equity based remuneration, benefits of working at Cuvva include:
⢠Brand new MacBook đť
⢠33 days holiday (inc public holidaysđ)
⢠Flexible working
⢠Wellbeing, personal development and work from home budgets
⢠Yearly increases to budgets and holiday allowances
⢠Generous parental leave policy
⢠One-to-one sessions with our Sanctus mental health coaches, giving you a safe space to talk đ§

⢠Mates rates on your car insurance
⢠Salary sacrifice schemes for electric bike hire and electric car lease
⢠Cycle to work scheme đ˛
⢠Season ticket loans đ
⢠A volunteer day
⢠Office library full of great books đ
⢠Great coffee machine in the office âď¸

Job Description
Organise is striving to build a team that reflects the diversity of our community and is truly inclusive. We welcome applications from under-represented groups, particularly people of colour, trans and non-binary people, new parents, and disabled people.
đŤ Who we are
Organise is a fast-growing startup on a mission to give everyone the tools, network and confidence to improve their life at work. Our vision is for a world in which decent, fairly paid work is available and accessible to all, and where all of us are treated with dignity and respect at work.
More than 1 million people are already using Organise. We put power in peopleâs hands, building a progressive force for change inside companies.
The Organise staff team pride ourselves on nimble, focused workplace campaigns. That means our team is decisive, ambitious and happy to take risks. Weâre characterised by our energy and enthusiasm; weâd rather aim high and see what happens, than play it safe. Weâre passionate about putting Organise members first â we believe change at work happens when more people get involved.
We're expanding our team and building out our platform to include a peer-to-peer network. We're building a space for people to build power and support each other at work pseudonymously. A space for our core members to talk to each other in a space their boss can't see. Small monthly subscriptions from members will verify their identity. The Organise network is paid for and protected by the workers. We currently operate in the UK, and are aiming to launch in the US by 2022.
"I can't believe it! It's only been a week since I started my Organise campaign to stamp out harassment in gyms. And already, the CEOs of Pure Gym and The Gym Group want to talk about how they can make their gyms safer." Organise member, April 2021
đ About the role and our team
Weâre a team who:
Are passionate about making high quality digital products that give our users power to improve their lives at work
Can collaborate effectively, inspire other team members, and start from a position of empathy
Understand the business and social mission of Organise, and work with the broader team to prioritise ideas and features that will deliver for our users
Are comfortable working in an early-stage environment, and the uncertainty (fun!) that change can bring. We get the right balance between thoroughly-tested code, and getting things done
Weâre looking to scale our engineering team to build out our network product, on an infrastructure that's fit to scale with us.
We have a great starting point: hundreds of thousands of active users that love the Organise product, a straightforward deployment process, and a big focus on great user experience.

đĽ Some highlights from 2021
Using Organise, Amazon drivers landed national media coverage, including an exclusive BBC Newsnight investigation, exposing their working conditions & calling on Amazon CEO to lower their parcel targets back to a safe level. Theyâve also met directly with MPs and got the Amazon CEO grilled in front of Parliament. 40% of drivers have had their targets lowered to a safer level now as a result - a huge win for their collective action.
Over 100,000 members pressured the government to abandon their plans to scrap the laws protecting paid holidays and rest breaks (working time directive) - including sending tens of thousands of messages sent directly to the Business Secretary in the 24 hours leading up to the U-turn. Civil servants tell us (off the record) that the department were âastonishedâ by the level of public backlash to the plans.
Dan*, a Census worker, started a campaign when he noticed Census temporary workers were being asked to travel to attend their first-day induction without being offered to have their travel expenses covered. In response to thousands of people joining the campaign, ONS has agreed to make sure all temporary workers are reimbursed for their travel expenses. With this and the update to the Census Jobs FAQs page clarifying the expenses policy, Census workers can start their jobs without being out of pocket.
