Job description

Senior Software Engineer (Full-Stack)

Department: Engineering

Employment Type: Full Time

Location: London

Description

Hybrid: 2 days per week in our Tower Bridge office (Tuesdays and Thursdays)

Uswitch

At Uswitch, our goal is to be the UK’s favourite way to choose and manage home-life essentials - from broadband and mobiles to energy and insurance.As we continue to grow and expand our services, we are looking for talented individuals who share our passion for making a positive impact on people's lives. If you want to be part of a team that is transforming the way consumers navigate their household services, we would love to hear from you.

We’re part of RVU, a group of online brands that include: Confused, Tempcover, money.co.uk, and Mojo Mortgages.

The energy team

Every household in the UK uses energy. Meeting the needs of this diverse population requires close collaboration with some of the largest companies in the world to develop energy products.

The market is evolving and as an increasing proportion of consumers choose electric vehicles and embrace green technology upgrades, the marketplace is increasing in complexity.

What you'll be doing

• Owning delivery end to end within a small, experienced team, with real autonomy over technical decisions and implementation approach
• Designing and building services across the stack. The team works across JavaScript/TypeScript, Go and Clojure among others, so you'll be expected to pick up unfamiliar languages when needed
• Autonomy: authority over technical decisions and implementation approach, so you can deliver using methods that best align with your ways of working
• Taking full ownership of testing and quality. There's no QA function, so you'll decide where tests earn their keep and where they'd just slow you down
• Building a solid understanding of the energy market and its constraints, so you can help shape solutions rather than just build what you're told

What we're looking for

• Genuine full stack experience, comfortable building frontends (JavaScript, React or similar) but equally confident designing and building backend APIs and working with databases.
• Evidence you can pick up an unfamiliar language quickly and get productive in it. Experience across several languages (ideally including JavaScript) is great
• Pragmatic approach to deliver effective solutions to address business & consumer challenges
• Genuine curiosity about the problems our customers and energy suppliers face, rather than wanting technology for technology's sake
• Committed to your own development and excited to make a direct, substantial impact within a company that provides you with full autonomy to release changes daily.

You don’t need to tick off everything on this list - so don’t let that hold you back from applying. We want to make sure you’re learning plenty during your time with us!

Our commitment to you

We are dedicated to developing valuable, inclusive, and user-friendly products and services that deliver positive outcomes for all of our customers. To achieve this, it’s essential that our teams reflect the diverse range of people in our community. We believe in being the change we wish to see in the world, by embracing our differences and holding ourselves accountable to being open and inclusive teammates and wider community members.

What we offer

We want to give you a great work environment, support your growth both personally and professionally, and provide benefits that make your time at RVU even more enjoyable. Here are some of the benefits you can look forward to:

• 10% discretionary yearly bonus and yearly pay reviews (based on RVU and personal performance)
• A hybrid working approach with 2 in-office days per week and up to 22 working days per year to “work from anywhere”
• Employer-matching pension contributions up to 7.5%
• A one-off £300 “work from home” budget to help contribute towards a great work environment at home
• Excellent maternity, paternity, shared parental, and adoption leave policy, for those key moments in your life
• 25 days holiday (increasing with years of employment to 30 days) + 2 days “my time” per year
• Private medical cover, critical illness cover, and employee assistance programme
• A healthy learning and training budget
• Electric vehicle and cycle to work schemes
• Free in-office gym, accessible 7 days a week
• Free breakfast in the office daily
• You’ll be equipped with great technology (choice of Mac or Windows)
• Free access to the Calm and Peppy app for physical and mental health
• Regular events - from team socials to company-wide events with insightful external speakers, we want to make sure our colleagues continue to feel connected.
