What the job involves

Senior Software Engineers (SSEs) are senior members of the engineering team. They are experts technically, and can reliably take ownership of their products/services
They deliver solid and maintainable software, understand company dynamics and good process, and help other engineers learn and improve

They are experienced problem solvers, able to tackle roadblocks faced by junior engineers. They are comfortable and competent at fixing critical and time-sensitive issues

On the technical side, SSEs play a leading role in all parts of the software development life cycle. They drive requirement workshops and facilitate ceremonies, and have a strong understanding of UW's systems and technology
SSEs are responsible for creating a positive culture within their team. They also help develop junior engineers, for example by explaining what they're doing when stepping in to fix an issue, or by arranging RCA meetings after team-wide incidents.

Salary benchmarks

Our take

Utility Warehouse provides customers with all their home services – including energy, broadband, mobile and insurance – in one simple, monthly bill. The company argues that this all-in-one approach ‘makes budgeting so much easier’ for customers, which is paired with a strong customer services record.

The company currently has over 1 million customers across the services they sell, making it one of the largest energy providers outside the 'Big 6'. Though it does not advertise heavily, its 60,000 partners are given incentives to sign up new customers, which has contributed to its impressive growth thus far - which should ensure it continues to compete with other challengers like Octopus and Bulb.
