We offer 2 products to our merchants:The first, named Telescope, allows us to analyse, understand and make recommendations to a merchant. It does not require any technical integration from them and works mainly through webhooks, pulling data from APIs or parsing exported files.

Backend Engineer Cuvva London, United Kingdom ÂŁ75,000 to ÂŁ90,000 a year
August 2021

More Than 6 Months Old
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

About Cuvva
Cuvva is a new kind of insurance thatâs fast, friendly, and flexible.
We get it - insurance doesnât sound exciting. But this isnât insurance as you know it. Itâs insurance the way it should be. Weâre 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. Weâve sold over 1 million policies. Weâve written over 260,000 lines of code. And weâre a fast-growing team of over 70 talented people.
Why work for Cuvva?
Weâre shaping the future of insurance. So we donât cut corners. We try to do the right thing, even when that makes life more difficult for us.
Weâll speak up when we have an idea - but we 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. Itâs the Cuvva way.
Weâre 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 donât love insurance. (Donât worry - we didnât either.)
And if you need any adjustments or support when youâre applying to Cuvva, no worries. Just let us know.
As well as a competitive salary (ÂŁ75-90k, dependent on experience) and equity based remuneration, benefits of working at Cuvva include:
Equality
Weâre 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 weâve 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!

What You Need:
2+ years of recent server side experience in technologies such as C#, Golang, PHP, or Node
Experience in front-end technologies such as React, Angular and Polymer
Cloudy with a guarantee of AWS and Docker Containers
