Teams are made up of engineers from multiple disciplines (backend, web, iOS, Android), product and content designers, product and engineering managers. Engineers at Cuvva come from a variety of backgrounds and have different but complementary skill sets. We don’t require a computer science degree – many of us are self-taught.You’ll help the team achieve their goals – whether that’s 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.
