Ever thought the premium you
pay for your car insurance is opaque and unfair? Well, that’s because it
is. At Cuvva we have fixed this by allowing you to insure yourself on a
car for as little as an hour, via an app. No more meerkat toys, no more
singing tenors, we have cut out all the middlemen and built our own
insurance platform from scratch. We're using it to change the way people
buy and use cover, and the way they think about getting from A-to-B.
It's all about providing insurance that fits.
As a tech-driven
company, we are changing the way people engage with their insurance
company, the way they buy insurance, and the way they think about
borrowing a car.
Why Cuvva?
We're
a fintech startup with significant traction, writing 20,000 temporary
car insurance policies per month (and sustaining 30% Month on Month
growth). We’re seed-funded (£2.1m to date) and a Techstars alum.
Hundreds of thousands of people have downloaded the Cuvva app to insure
themselves for the short and long term.
We started off with a
simple proposition: car insurance for as little as one hour (up to 28
days) and we now have a subscription product that separates car
ownership from driving. We are also looking to expand into different
markets next year.
We are looking for a talented and motivated
senior front end engineer who will raise our game and keep us on top. We
therefore have a generous share option scheme as we believe that
everyone within the company should share in the success they help build.
The role:
We
are looking for a front-end wizard to help us refine our website and
make it stand out as a beacon of usability and cool CSS tricks. We're
also looking to duplicate some of the functionality of our app on the
web, so you will be building this out in partnership with our backend
and core system engineers. You should have experience leading the
front-end development at an agency or small tech company, and ideally a
selection of side-projects you can show us to demonstrate your
javascript chops.
Requirements
You should:
- Have at least 2 years' commercial experience doing front-end development
- Have experience with Javascript including React and ES6/7
- Nurture an acute fondness for SASS
- Care about building high-performance, lightweight websites
Benefits
As
well as a competitive salary (£35-50k, dependent on experience) and
equity based remuneration, benefits of working at Cuvva include working
in our new offices in Shoreditch and of course significant savings on
your car insurance.
