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...

We work together. Your team and the people you will work with...

You will join the Partner Pillar, a dedicated group responsible for developing applications that serve our partners. Using a modern stack of Go, GraphQL, and TypeScript, your team focuses on critical journeys including lead routing, partner onboarding, and appointment scheduling. You will work closely with your squad to define key metrics and iterate on projects across our website and mobile apps to help our partners manage their businesses effectively.

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

You will participate directly in the entire software development lifecycle, ensuring our technical solutions are robust and scalable. Your responsibilities will include:

• Writing production-ready code: Delivering tested, easily understood code while maintaining technical diagrams and documentation.
• Driving Delivery: Breaking down large stories into smaller chunks, providing execution plans, and remaining persistent in the face of blockers.
• Operational Ownership: Participating in the on-call rota for your team and responding to production issues using relevant playbooks.
• Strategic Contribution: Participating in defining team goals and evaluating proposed work against the wider company mission.
• Cultural Leadership: Proactively fixing issues, proposing solutions to process gaps, and helping to explain the UW culture to others.

We put people first. It’s all about you..

We are looking for a curious and collaborative engineer who excels at problem solving and continuous improvement. You should be a strong communicator who can make the technical simple to understand.

To succeed in this role, you will need:

• Technical Mastery: A strong command of backend development (e.g., Go, gRPC) and familiarity with event-driven systems like Kafka.
• Frontend Knowledge: Fluency with tools such as React, TypeScript, GraphQL, and gRPC.
• Quality Standards: The ability to define what quality software looks like and hold yourself and others to that standard.
• Operational Skills: Competence in observing solutions, creating automated alerts, and identifying the severity of production incidents.
• Adaptability: Comfort working in a dynamic, iterative development environment within a regulated framework.
