Senior Fullstack Software Engineer

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
