™Careers at Tuvo™
Build the app that gets people off the app.
Tuvo is a Calgary-made dating app for 18 to 29 year olds. We're early, small and self-funded. The first people who join will shape what it becomes.
Why Tuvo
Most dating apps are built to keep you swiping. Tuvo is built so you can leave.
Meet halfway
It's our product and how we work: listen, find the middle, show up.
Off the app
We count real dates, not minutes on screen.
No ghosting
Not with members, partners or people who apply. Everyone hears back.
Safety first
Every feature starts with one question: is this safe for someone meeting a stranger?

Honest note: Tuvo is self-funded and doesn't pay salaries yet. Co-founders get an ownership stake, set up in writing when we incorporate. Spot Scouts are independent contractors paid by commission. When we hire for salaried jobs, they'll be listed here with the pay.
