Technical Lead

At RVU we combine the close-knit and agile environment of a startup, with the know-how, technology and backing of a well-established company.

For over 15 years, Tempcover has been at the forefront of the fast-growing world of short term insurance.

From originators to innovators, we’ve evolved our business and our industry with pioneering ideas that remove the frustration of traditional insurance and put drivers in control of their insurance. Our mission is to make insurance flexible, quick, and easy for drivers and so far, we’ve sold over three million policies that have helped drivers get where they need to go, but we’re not finished there. We’re growing our team to help us continue in that mission.
