Company Description

Hi! We're UW. We’re on a mission to take the headache out of utilities by providing them all in one place. One bill for energy, broadband, mobile and insurance and a whole lot of savings!

We’re aiming to double in size as we help more people to stop wasting time and money. Big ambitions, to be delivered by people like you.

Got your attention? Read on…

The challenge

For our customers and Partners, UW just needs to work –there when you need it, and invisible when you don’t. Just like flicking a switch.

Our proposition to customers is simple, but for our technology teams, the behind-the-scenes complexity is what makes it so interesting. Learn more about life in our Tech teams.

We put people first. It’s all about you..

The ideal candidate is someone who, regardless of their preference for back-end or front-end development, possesses the desire and ability to work on both. They should be comfortable supporting complete product initiatives by seamlessly transitioning between back-end ( Golang, Kafka, PostgreSQL, AWS, Terraform ) and front-end tasks ( React Native, React, Redux ).

We work together. Your team and the people you will work with…

We work in small, fully autonomous teams that have real ownership of their products. We use the best tool for the job and constantly look for better.

The Insurance team is in charge of creating, maintaining and supporting insurance products in Utility Warehouse. We currently have more than 130k live policies across multiple Insurance products, and the percentage of UW customers who hold an insurance policy with us keeps growing! Home Insurance, Boiler and Home Emergency Cover are meant to give peace of mind with our customer's most important asset! We have a small and mighty team across front-end and back-end and use a range of technologies, with event-driven architecture as our core.

We deliver progress. What you’ll do and how you will make an impact.

We are looking for a software engineer with experience in planning and implementing software and microservices within an event-sourced architecture. This role is essential for maintaining UW’s Insurance products and will involve collaborating with a team of software engineers, UX designers, and product managers.

What you’ll do

Modernise the technology we use for managing task queues.

Migrate action permissions to utilise Cerbos, a flexible and scalable permissions system.

Enhance the scripts used by our agents to improve efficiency and effectiveness.

Perform lift-and-shift migrations to transition third-party software to our infrastructure.

Automate our billing processes to ensure accuracy and efficiency.

Improve how we manage and take ownership of customer communications.

Enhance our front-end test coverage, including conducting e2e testing.

So why pick UW?

We’ve got big ambitions so there’s going to be plenty of challenges. There are also a lot of benefits:

An industry benchmarked salary. We’ll share it during your first conversation.

Share Options and a Save as You Earn scheme.

Fully remote working.

Discount on our services and you get our coveted Cashback Card for free.

A matched contribution pension scheme and life assurance up to 4x your salary.

Family-friendly policies, designed to help you and your family thrive.

Discounted private health insurance, access to an Employee Assistance line and a free Virtual GP.

Belonging groups that help UW shape an even more inclusive future.

A commitment to helping you develop and grow in your role.
