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..

We are seeking an individual with the ability to maintain, enhance, and deploy changes to our existing quoting application and backend APIs. This role will primarily involve using GraphQL & Go on the backend with some React with TypeScript on the frontend when required.

The engineering team at UW is known for its high visibility, consumer-facing projects, and delivery-oriented approach. You must thrive in a fast-paced environment and embrace continuous iteration, all while navigating a regulatory ecosystem.

Attention to detail is crucial, but so is the ability to devise pragmatic, commercially viable, and customer-centric solutions. Ego has no place here; collaboration is the foundation of our work culture, and we operate as a tightly-knit unit. Emotional intelligence and self-awareness are valued traits.

A strong drive for learning and personal growth is essential, along with a genuine desire to support and mentor junior engineers.

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 utilise the best tool for the job and continually seek out better ones.

The Customer Acquisition team is part of the Growth group, which is responsible for all engineering development related to customer growth within UW’s engineering department.

The Customer Acquisition team owns UW’s signup journey, from the UI to the suite of backend services that power it. It is the mission-critical sales funnel that will enable the company to meet its goal of reaching the next million households with its unique and market-beating multi-service product within the next few years.

As a team member, you will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including UI/UX designers, product owners, and software engineers from other domains.

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

You’ll play a significant role in releasing UW’s new signup journey, which will replace our current one in the coming months.

Ensuring a high standard of quality in both code and feature deployment is paramount in this role, as we view this initial release as a stepping stone before delivering major improvements in how our customers join UW.

What you’ll do

Contribute effectively to all parts of the development lifecycle, including defining requirements.

Write readable, well-documented code and test it appropriately.

Define tasks, design, and deliver simple and effective solutions that take into account both technical and business requirements.

Identify and communicate project roadblocks.

Review other engineers’ code and provide constructive feedback.

Work with your team to optimise work processes and deliver features as efficiently as possible.

Gain an understanding of the business context of your team and area.

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 Save as You Earn scheme.

Enjoy a discount on our services and receive 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.
