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
data scientist 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.
Requirements
We
are looking for a super sharp data scientist to pick apart our wealth
of data and help us spot patterns and opportunities. There will be
flexibility to act immediately on your insights so you'll be able to
suggest a change and see it implemented straight away. You will be part
of the operations team, but will work closely with the product team in
accessing, sorting and processing our data. You'll need strong working
knowledge of PostgresSQL and MongoDB, as we anticipate you working with
the engineers on larger projects and being able to process data
confidently.
About you:
- You will be educated to degree level or higher, in a mathematical discipline
- You
will have some experience in working as a data scientist (commercial or
academic) looking for patterns and insights in large data sets
- You will be comfortable working with MongoDB and PostgreSQL
- You
will live in London or be willing to relocate here. We have some
flexibility for remote working but would like to stress that this is not
a remote role - you will need to be in the office most of the time.
- You will be comfortable collaborating with our product and operations teams to map out the future of Cuvva!
Benefits
As
well as a competitive salary (£60-70k, dependent on experience) and
equity based remuneration, benefits of working at Cuvva include working
in our offices in Shoreditch and of course significant savings on your
car insurance.
