Golang Bread Jobs

Job Description

We have enormous and engaging technical challenges. We are designing an API that can drop easily into any one of dozens of ecommerce platforms, proprietary and off-the-shelf, hosted and on-site. We need to verify online identity and predict fraud while providing a beautiful and frictionless consumer experience, and mine user and financial information to approve and price credit, all in real time. And we are using technology to explore new approaches to consumer credit marketplaces that have never been attempted before.

We are looking to hire a senior engineer to join the current technology team in continuing to build out our core platform and product. This senior engineer will:

• be responsible for leading design and implementation of new features and iterations of our core platform
• continue to develop our core infrastructure for Bread’s scalable and reliable services
• deliver new working code every two weeks in a fast-paced, code-focused agile development environment
• work with the rest of the engineering team to deliver new functionality to face merchants, consumers, investors, and internal users
• design new iterations of our merchant integration APIs

Requirements

• Expert knowledge of server-side languages and data stores (our system is built with Go/Golang and PostgreSQL, but we’re also happy to speak with those that have strong backend experience with other languages, including JVM languages like Java or Scala; Python; or C++)
• Experience with message-based, loosely coupled architectures (we use RabbitMQ and Redis)
• Experience building scalable, reliable distributed systems
• Experience developing systems intended for cloud deployments (we use AWS)
• A passion for engineering and technology

Preferred

• Knowledge of financial products
• Strong front-end skills in JavaScript, using a framework like Angular (we use React)
• Experience with Go/PostgreSQL/Rabbit/Redis
• Knowledge of e-commerce platforms, like Magento, Shopify, Demandware, or others

Job Description

Software Engineer (Go)

Technology

London NW9 5AB, UK

Utility Warehouse is an award winning multi-utility provider, our core offering is simple: all your utilities, one monthly bill. Our network of 45,000 partners add the human touch to our delivery, help us get the word out to our existing members and bring in new ones. We consistently win the Which? awards for our service and don’t believe “good enough” exists when it comes to customer satisfaction.

We’ve got the culture and focus of the earliest stage startups with the resources and strength of an extremely profitable and loved brand. Our eyes are on meteoric growth over the next few years. All the pieces to make it happen are here, we need you to help us put them together.

Our philosophy revolves around getting things done and we only hire people we can trust to do that. Bring your A game and you’ll always get ours. If you’re the type that can deliver you’ll be rewarded with small, fully autonomous teams that have real ownership of their products using a cutting edge stack in a best-idea-wins meritocracy. If that doesn’t quite cut it, we can throw in flexible and remote working (no, really) with top of market compensation.

As for the tech we use: the best tool is the right tool. Go and React are our bread and butter but nothing is stopping you from reaching for something else if it does it better. We deploy to Kubernetes across both AWS and GCP with some help from Terraform. We run a mature event sourced microservice architecture using Kafka, NATS and GRPC. As much as is possible we code in the open on GitHub. If it can be open- sourced, it shall. If we can submit a PR instead of building our own, we will. Getting your hands dirty from the top to the bottom of the stack isn’t a promise to be broken, it’s a requirement. If you’re only good at parts of it that’s okay, we’ll quickly make you good at all of it.
