Company mission
Empowering people to make confident decisions.
Role
Who you are
- 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!
What the job involves
- 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
Salary benchmarks
Our take
With increases in everyday costs presenting a significant challenge to households across the UK right now, RVU’s ecosystem of brands has the potential to provide a one-stop shop for consumers to ensure they are better informed and can save money on their bills.
RVU owns and operates Uswitch, Confused.com, Money.co.uk, Mojo Mortgages and Tempcover in the UK, all of which help millions of people make more informed decisions on a range of products and services for their home, such as energy, mortgages, insurance, broadband and mobile phones.
With the 2022 acquisition of Tempcover adding to the portfolio of brands, RVU is doubling down on the breadth of its product offering - expanding into the temporary insurance market. Tempcover is an insure-tech that brings flexible and affordable insurance solutions to motorists - whether hourly cover or month-long policies.
