    We’re looking for an Android Developer to join our team as we bring our existing app in house. Over the next 18 months, we’re transitioning towards an App-first approach and need strong Android Engineers to support this transition. Â
    • About Veygo Veygo was founded 6 years ago – part of the pioneering incubation venture ‘Admiral Pioneer’ - created to seed and launch exciting scale ups to disrupt existing marketplaces.   Veygo has so far seen an impressive 50% YoY growth. We currently provide our customers with temporary and learner car insurance - products designed to make life easier for those wanting to share or borrow cars, insure their own car for a short amount of time, or for people learning to drive.  What Makes Veygo Different?
  • We’re building flexible policies for learner drivers and people looking to share cars – whether owned or borrowed.  Â
  • Veygo provides comprehensive cover to those customers, meaning that the car owner’s existing insurance policy and no claims bonus is safe if the person borrowing the car has an accident. Â
  • All Veygo’s insurance is available by the hour, day, week or month and customers can get a quote in minutes.   Â
  • All backed by Admiral, voted Best UK Car Insurance Provider six years in a row by The Personal Finance Awards.  Â
    • Whilst our mission today is to put people in control of their own journey our ambition is to create a youth lifestyle brand that take us beyond car insurance. Disruption is in our DNA and we’re always relentlessly looking for collaborative self-starters and innovators with the desire to challenge how we do things today; to push the boundaries and drive us through our onward growth journey.  Veygo’s culture is vibrant, open, creative, and disruptive.
