Role
Who you are
- Collaborative mindset: You take a proactive approach to addressing team challenges, share a keen eye for great user experiences, and work closely with others to turn mockups into beautiful, functional interfaces
- Problem-solving drive: You possess effective debugging skills and focus deeply on keeping code clean and highly maintainable
- Core tech stacks: You have proven, hands-on experience working with React, React Native and TypeScript
- State & data management: You hold a solid understanding of solutions like Redux and feel confident working with GraphQL for data interactions
- Testing & CI/CD: You bring experience using GitHub Actions and writing robust unit and end-to-end tests
- Bonus skills: Any experience with Next.js, Kubernetes or Containers is highly desirable, though we are equally happy to help you develop these in the role
- Not sure you meet all the requirements? Let us decide! Research shows that women and members of other underrepresented groups tend not to apply for jobs if they think they may not meet every qualification, when in fact they often do
What the job involves
- You'll join our cross-functional, fully autonomous delivery teams where real product ownership is the norm. Energy sits right at the heart of UW, with over 95% of our customers taking at least one energy service
- As an engineer here, you will collaborate closely with designers, backend engineers, and product managers to navigate major, high-impact projects like our ongoing Energy Transformation. Together, we are modernising our core platforms to dramatically boost agent efficiency, lower costs, and reshape how multi-service billing delights our customers
- Build apps: Build and maintain responsive, user-friendly web and mobile applications
- Develop components: Create modular, reusable, and testable frontend components that strictly adhere to modern design and accessibility standards
- Integrate APIs: Connect frontend applications with GraphQL APIs to ensure seamless data fetching and reliable state management
- Optimise performance: Manage application state effectively using Redux while continuously boosting performance across web and mobile platforms
- Troubleshoot code: Use systematic analysis and modern debugging tools to track down and solve frontend issues smoothly
Application process
- You’ve got this far... Hit apply - we can’t wait to hear from you! Worried you don’t hit all the criteria? We welcome applications from diverse and varied backgrounds so get your application in and let’s chat!
- Martyna Zbyszewska will be your point of contact throughout the recruitment process
- Please note, if you are successful and offered a role at UW, you will be subject to a background check. Where checks are unsatisfactory or incomplete and/or a failure to reveal information relating to convictions that you are required to identify as part of the background checks, could lead to withdrawal of an offer of employment
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Budgeting for a household is no easy task, especially when you've got to keep track of various bills from different providers. That's why Utility Warehouse provides customers with all their home services – including energy, broadband, mobile and insurance – in one simple, monthly bill.
The company says that this all-in-one approach ‘makes budgeting so much easier’ for customers, which is backed up by a strong customer services record. Though it does not advertise heavily, its partners are given incentives to sign up new customers, which has contributed to its impressive growth thus far.
Boasting over 1 million customers across the services they sell, Utility Warehouse is one of the largest energy providers outside the 'Big 6'. Its unique approach, and established footing in the market, should ensure it continues to compete with other challengers as the utilities sector further evolves.
