Description

Confused.com is the UK’s first comparison platform for car insurance. We’ve been helping customers since 2002 by empowering them to make better decisions around insurance and financial services. Our mission is simple: take away the confusion when comparing financial products and services to help you save time and money.

We’re part of RVU, a group of online brands (including Uswitch, Tempcover, and Money.co.uk) that empowers people to make confident decisions across a range of household services.

RVU’s purpose is to simplify complex marketplaces with intuitive and accessible applications that genuinely improve people’s lives. Saving a few hundred pounds a year on bills makes a fundamental difference to vulnerable people who sometimes have to choose between paying for utilities or groceries.

Our platforms serve millions of users a month, process thousands of comparisons a day, and drive hundreds of complex integrations with vastly different partners. We’re a tech-driven business that focuses on agile delivery and cross-functional product teams.

We are creating the next generation of comparison platforms, and as we scale, we are looking for passionate, empathetic engineers to build highly performant, accessible, and beautiful consumer experiences to facilitate switching and comparisons on the web.

What you will be responsible for:

Excellence: Work alongside established & experienced engineering teams, whilst supporting and growing the organisation’s understanding & utilisation of modern technology.

Collaboration: Work with various cross-functional disciplines across the organisation to make ideas a reality, whilst taking an active role in shaping and delivering the ongoing technical vision of the organisation alongside your peers.

Autonomy: Authority over technical strategy, decisions, and implementation approach, so you can deliver using practices that align with your preferred ways of working.

Data Driven: Utilise rich logs, metrics, and data to monitor and improve system performance & reliability.

Culture: Enhancing a diverse engineering culture by taking part in various technical catch-ups, working groups, and All Hands.

As a Staff Software Engineer at Confused.com, you will be expected to:

• Proactively identify opportunities for improvement across the organisation.
• Manage your time effectively between team and org level contributions.
• Rotate around the business to build relationships and act as a multiplier.

What we look for in you:

Experience working in large and small agile teams of engineers, and eager to collaborate with other disciplines, such as Marketing, Data Analytics & Product Owners.

Good understanding of Cloud technologies, and their application to solve problems such as Event/Data Ingestion and 3rd Party API Integrations. As well as a strong appreciation of A/B Testing, Monitoring, and DevOps principles.

Solid understanding of mobile app development principles, including UI/UX design, performance optimization/monitoring, capturing analytics, and security best practices.

A breadth of knowledge and experience with native app development using all aspects of software development and familiarity with cross-platform frameworks. Experience with React Native is a must for success in this role.

Proficiency in the entire mobile app release process, including app store submission, version control, branch strategies, and over-the-air(OTA) updates and deployments.

Pragmatic approach to delivering effective solutions to address business & consumer challenges.

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.

What we offer:

• 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.

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.

Our mission is to empower people to make confident decisions. With our unique set of brands, including Uswitch, Confused.com, money.co.uk, Tempcover, and Mojo Mortgages, we have the power to reach millions of consumers and deliver a world-class online experience.
