We're on a mission to give everyone affordable access to a car anytime, anywhere

We offer short-term car insurance through our world-class app, 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 to sell hourly insurance via an app in the UK back in 2016. And we haven’t stopped innovating since. We’ve sold over 16 million policies, and supported over 1.5 million drivers and we’re just getting started. We’re a team of 100 people, passionate about solving our customers’ problems. Join us.

At Cuvva, we run lean, highly collaborative, cross-functional product teams. As our new Full Stack Engineer, you'll initially join our internal product incubator squad, focused on exploring and developing new product opportunities for the business.

The team moves quickly and values ownership, autonomy and action, making it well suited to engineers who are comfortable working through ambiguity, testing ideas quickly and learning through iteration.

This isn't a role where you'll spend months delivering pre-defined tickets. You'll work alongside Product and Design from the earliest stages of discovery, helping shape ideas, challenge assumptions and build products that reach customers quickly. We believe our best engineers don't just write code - they influence product direction, improve how we work, and solve meaningful customer problems.

At Cuvva, people come from a wide range of backgrounds and bring different but complementary skill sets. Within Engineering, you're not required to have a university degree; many of us are self-taught.

• Frontend:
  JavaScript/Type Script, React, Redux (with Redux-Sagas)
• Backend:
  Golang & NodeJS , with PostgreSQL and MongoDB
• Architecture:
  Microservices, APIs, and serverless services Infrastructure & tooling: AWS, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, Redis, CI/CD pipelines
• Practices:
  Automation-first, metrics-driven, incident write-ups and observability baked in

We’re not just here to write code, we’re here to redefine how insurance works. Our 2026 engineering strategy is built on five principles:

As a Full Stack Engineer (Backend leaning), you'll help shape the next generation of Cuvva's products, taking ideas from early experiments through to production and putting them in the hands of more than 1.5 million drivers.

You’ll help bridge the gap between disciplines, collaborating with backend, web, product and design to deliver seamless, user-centric solutions.

You’ll not just ship code, you'll have the autonomy to challenge ideas, influence technical decisions and help shape the future of our products from discovery through to production.

Whether that’s building new features, new services, building out internal dashboards, expanding our design systems, or optimising developer experience. You’ll move between product delivery and platform improvement, bringing a positive, proactive and collaborative mindset to the team.

• Write clean, maintainable, scalable, and well-tested code across Frontend and Backend (React, Go, Node etc.).
• Collaborate closely with Designers, PMs, and fellow Engineers to scope,…
