Bud's mission is simple. We're here to create the worldâs most compelling financial data products. The products we're building are used by some of the world's most prestigious institutions to help millions of their customers take control of their finances.
Youâll be leading the development of some of Budâs most critical internal services that are utilised by product teams across Bud as well as owning a number of core platform exposed services that are non-product specific for domains such as authentication and traffic management. Every request that hits the Bud Platform will end up touching at least one of the services youâre responsible for. Youâll be contributing to Bud-wide architecture as well as actively developing in Budâs Platform & Security [Product] Team where youâll be the driving software engineering force in the team (which is mostly composed of SRE/Platform Engineers). Youâll also be a core channel of representing the perspective of backend engineers in the team and helping the team to solve cross-engineering problems.
The software engineering team are tasked with solving highly technical problems to enable solutions that tangibly benefit the lives of millions of people. From how to scale our solutions to tens of millions of users in the most effective manner of integrating hundreds of third-party businesses. Data is key to our business and we need passionate developers to help capture it, store it, transform it, research and most importantly secure it.
We could play buzzword bingo but one of our core values is 'Authentic' and the best way to demonstrate this is by sharing our employee engagement dashboard. This provides a weekly engagement and NPS score giving you a true reflection of life at Bud. All data collected is realtime & anonymised so we have no control over what you see.
The dashboard is interactive so check it out here and have a look at what the numbers mean, https://bit.ly/2MhjAZT
Weâre a diverse group of people. With backgrounds ranging from data science to music production, more than 80% of our team come from outside the world of finance â providing us with a unique perspective as we help consumers feel more in control of their lives. For us, an interest in people comes first; finance follows.
The apps and infrastructure weâre building are designed to place the power of personal data back into the hands of normal people. Picture this: a world where your bank knew you were paying too much for your gas bill and could switch you to a more suitable provider, or understood your savings targets and could automatically find you a better deal. Thatâs what weâre working towards.
Budâs mission is to make the money part of peopleâs lives simple. To get there, we need a workforce that is diverse as the people we create our products for. Which means we need people who have different backgrounds and experiences, who are diverse in age, gender identity, race, sexual orientation, physical or mental ability, ethnicity, and ways of thinking. We truly believe that these differences will make us grow as a company and a team. We strive to create a workplace and culture where our people are empowered, supported, given equal opportunities and can bring their authentic selves to work.

Learning & Development đ
As part of our commitment to developing our people, all employees at Bud have an annual ÂŁ500 pot available to use towards their learning and development - think books, courses & events - the choice is yours.
We also have quarterly R&D days, giving you the opportunity to take a break for 2 days from live projects and work on something thatâs inspired you, either independently or as part of a collaborative team.
Flexible Working âł
As a trusted member of the Bud, youâll have the freedom and flexibility to manage your time and routine in a way that suits you, and your team, allowing you to deliver your best work. This role can be based in our London office, or fully remote/distributed in the UK.
Time Off đïž
Weâre a team that likes to work hard, so we need to make sure we balance this with time to rest and relax. We offer 25 days holiday, plus the usual bank holidays, plus additional time off over the holiday season.
Equipment đ»
We want to make sure everyone is set up to work effectively and comfortably - so youâll get to choose your own kit, including any additional equipment you might need to work from home.
Social đđș
Weâre big on keeping Bud a social place to work, with big quarterly events (we throw an epic summer party), regular team socials & monthly company breakfasts. This year weâve stepped up our virtual social scene with quiz nights, virtual cocktail making, book clubs, and online workouts.
Commuting đ
We are big advocates of sustainable transport and travel, and are members of a cycle to work scheme. We also have season ticket loans available.

Using Organise, Amazon drivers landed national media coverage, including an exclusive BBC Newsnight investigation, exposing their working conditions & calling on Amazon CEO to lower their parcel targets back to a safe level. Theyâve also met directly with MPs and got the Amazon CEO grilled in front of Parliament. 40% of drivers have had their targets lowered to a safer level now as a result - a huge win for their collective action.
Over 100,000 members pressured the government to abandon their plans to scrap the laws protecting paid holidays and rest breaks (working time directive) - including sending tens of thousands of messages sent directly to the Business Secretary in the 24 hours leading up to the U-turn. Civil servants tell us (off the record) that the department were âastonishedâ by the level of public backlash to the plans.
Dan*, a Census worker, started a campaign when he noticed Census temporary workers were being asked to travel to attend their first-day induction without being offered to have their travel expenses covered. In response to thousands of people joining the campaign, ONS has agreed to make sure all temporary workers are reimbursed for their travel expenses. With this and the update to the Census Jobs FAQs page clarifying the expenses policy, Census workers can start their jobs without being out of pocket.

About Cuvva
Cuvva is a new kind of insurance thatâs fast, friendly, and flexible.
We get it - insurance doesnât sound exciting. But this isnât insurance as you know it. Itâs insurance the way it should be. Weâre putting the customer first and building products that solve real human needs.
We were the first company in the UK to sell hourly insurance, and the first to sell insurance through an app. Weâve sold over 1 million policies. Weâve written over 260,000 lines of code. And weâre a fast-growing team of over 70 talented people.
Why work for Cuvva?
Weâre shaping the future of insurance. So we donât cut corners. We try to do the right thing, even when that makes life more difficult for us.
Weâll speak up when we have an idea - but we know when to let go and get behind something else.
And weâre comfortable giving and receiving honest feedback, and trying new ways of doing things. Itâs the Cuvva way.
Weâre building a diverse team with different backgrounds, outlooks and experiences. So we give everyone a fair chance of getting a role at Cuvva. Even if you secretly donât love insurance. (Donât worry - we didnât either.)
And if you need any adjustments or support when youâre applying to Cuvva, no worries. Just let us know.
As well as a competitive salary (ÂŁ75-90k, dependent on experience) and equity based remuneration, benefits of working at Cuvva include:
Equality
Weâre committed to ensuring that everyone has a fair chance to join Cuvva, whatever your background. We will always treat your application in a fair and equal manner.
About the role
We're looking for a software engineer who has held senior positions in engineering teams within high-growth, high-scale startups, who will operate with a high level of autonomy, ensuring impeccable reliability and availability. You care deeply about building rock-solid infrastructure for the long term, with a track record of delivering solutions which support your team and your product.
You will develop Cuvva's core platform, abstracting the key processes required to sell insurance, delivering solutions that allow the team to develop strong and stable products, without having to spend time ensuring they get the basics right.
Aside from developing core platform services, we expect you will also become heavily involved with ops and security activities, contributing towards the maintenance of our servers, AWS account, etc.
"Core platform"
When we refer to the "core platform", we mean the services which underpin the processes of all insurance activities on our system.
For example, we expect one of these to be the "policy service", which might be responsible for ensuring compliant issuance of policies, coordinating mid-term adjustments, preventing overlapping policies (double insurance), etc.
Other services could include user authentication, risk & pricing calculation, handling the process of modifying user data in-line with any mid-term adjustment requirements.
All services we consider to be part of the core platform will have strict requirements around stability, data integrity and transactional safety. All functionality must fail safely and explicitly, for example using 2-phase commit processes or other similar techniques. This will also require a reasonable level of testing to validate this safety.
The perfect addition to our team will have:
We are a small team so it is important that the successful candidate is not only technically highly competent, but also a great cultural fit!

We're looking for an experienced Backend Go Software Engineer to join the Geckoboard team!
Every single one of us comes to work every day to do something we love. We get to tackle big problems, but in a way that recognises everyoneâs need to work with dignity and purpose in a supportive and inclusive environment. It's the most wonderful thing. In fact the fun part is trying to figure out all the different ways we can come up with to make data accessible and understandable for everyone. It really is amazing. The best part is that we work in an atmosphere of openness, trust and transparency, where everyone is empowered to learn and flourish. We're actually doing really well. We have a product our customers love.
We're really excited to be growing.
You'll be joining a team of empowered engineers in a supportive environment that values experimentation, work-life balance and personal development. We've built a culture of knowledge sharing and feedback, so you'll be involved in planning and prioritisation of work as well as peer reviews and pair programming.
We work in small and focused cross-functional teams, usually made up of a Product Manager, a Designer, and a mix of Frontend and Backend Engineers. QA and Infrastructure tend to come in at the points they're needed or for specific projects. We scope out our project such that we're able to deliver meaningful work but small enough to iterate and take on board feedback quickly. We encourage our engineers to get involved in different teams and projects based on their interests, skills and opportunities to learn. We're also equally mindful about technical debt and make sure we dedicate time to addressing it.
At Geckoboard, we are seeking to solve a real problem and build a long-lasting product. As a result, we place a high value on a clean and maintainable codebase, and on practices that ensure we can continue to deliver quality software rapidly and iteratively.âš
Learning is also a big part of our engineering culture. Once every two weeks every team takes a âLab Dayâ, when everyone is free to work on projects that interest them, learn new skills or contribute to open source. We encourage these projects and often they have led to improvements in the way we work or concepts that have then been prioritised, developed further and added to our Product.
Our main frontend application is a large React 16+ codebase and our tests are written with Jest. For communicating with our backend services, we use an Apollo client and query a GraphQL gateway written in Node.js that exposes a single schema but dispatches queries to a number of gRPC services on the backend.
While our backend services are mostly written in Go and run on AWS, the GraphQL gateway is owned by the frontend team, which puts them in the driving seat when it comes to defining the APIs for a new piece of functionality, and provides a single point of reference for both frontend and backend.
While adding features to the product, weâve been building and maintaining an internal React component library with an emphasis on reusability and documentation. Our frontend team is looking to expand this library, with the potential to open source it in the future.
What weâve described sounds interesting
Youâve worked with Go before*
Youâre interested in distributed systems
Youâre collaborative; you empathise, listen and discuss
You actively seek out feedback in your work and to ensure you understand the problem youâre solving
You have experience collaborating on technical decisions in an open and creative environment
You understand the value of automated testing and a test-driven development approach
Right now we're only considering mid to senior-level candidates, if you're interested in joining the Geckoboard team but earlier in your career, head to www.geckoboard.com/careers and get in touch. We'll be hiring at different levels throughout the year, so we'd love to hear from you and chat about future jobs!
At this time, weâre only considering candidates who are (or will be) based in the United Kingdom or Western Europe (CET timezone).
Right now, we work fully remote from around the globe. Weâre big on work-life balance and flexible work. We have some core hours but it's up to you to decide how you work around those. We consider 25 days of holiday a year to be a minimum, not a maximum, and have a flexible working policy so that if you need to step out for a school run, an appointment, or something else, itâs no problem. We don't do "crunch time" and have a deep commitment to a clear separation of life and work.
Some of our team also have shorter working weeks and weâre more than happy to accommodate this or other arrangements when possible. Learn more about life at Geckoboard at www.geckoboard.com/careers.
The whole process takes about 3 weeks end to end, but weâre flexible!

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 donât believe âgood enoughâ exists when it comes to customer satisfaction.
Weâve 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 youâll always get ours. If youâre the type that can deliver youâll 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 doesnât 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 isnât a promise to be broken, itâs a requirement. If youâre only good at parts of it thatâs okay, weâll quickly make you good at all of it.

Learning is also a big part of our engineering culture. About once every fortnight you're able to take a whole day â an Innovation Day â to work on projects that interest you, learn new skills or contribute to open source⊠whatever it may be! We encourage these projects and often they have led to improvements in the way we work or concepts that have then been prioritised, developed further and added to our Product.

**Product
**Our product teams each own a different part of the product, building features that improve Geckoboard for our customers. Some of our recent work has ranged from a new send-to-Slack feature, SSO and in the team youâll be joining initially, weâve been building a brand new internal framework for importing, storing, and analysing data from third-party APIs we integrate with. We know that investing in our Data Platform is the best way we can deliver flexible, high-quality integrations quickly and easily. The new framework takes care of managing and scheduling imports, responding to webhooks, receiving analytics queries, migrating data from one version to the next and allows us to build internal gRPC services using a common protobuf interface upon it.
**Platform
**We believe that we can only be successful as an Engineering team if we are constantly and systematically investing in our tooling, our common systems, and our developer experience, this is where our Platform team comes in. Our recent work has ranged from rapid response work to improving test and trace coverage, migrating existing services to Go modules and support for other teams. We're also working on enabling older RESTful services to be migrated onto gRPC with a GraphQL API gateway in front.

We know that there are great candidates who may not exactly fit into what weâve described above, or who have important skills we havenât thought of. If thatâs you or youâre not sure, please apply, weâd love to hear from you.
While most of our team are normally based in our leafy East London office, a lot of us work remotely at least a day or two during the week. This means weâve always been intentional about making sure our ways-of-working are remote-friendly so we can support that flexibility for everyone. We also have fully remote team members, though the expectation is that youâre comfortable with a visit to the London office about once a quarter (except during pandemics).
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, our office remains closed and everyone on the team is working from home presently. Weâre likely to continue working from home over the Winter. We keep a close eye on the government guidance, regularly update the team, and plan to open our office only when itâs safe to do so again.
Some of our team have shorter working weeks and weâre more than happy to try to accommodate this or another arrangement whenever possible. Just let us know what works best for you or that youâd like to chat about it in your application.
At this time, weâre only considering candidates who are (or will be) based in the United Kingdom (regardless of whether youâre onsite when out offices reopen or fully remote). Unfortunately, weâre unable to provide sponsorship for this role.
The whole process takes about 2-3 weeks end to end, but weâre flexible!
Do you want to join our team as our new Backend Go Software Engineer? We'd love to hear about you!
Weâre looking for a Backend Engineer to join our TechOps squad at Monzo.
Our TechOps squad is primarily responsible for making sure everyone at Monzo has all of the tools they need to do a great job. That means managing all of our devices (predominantly running Mac and Chrome OS), managing our G-Suite domains, providing 1:1 support to Monzonauts across the business, and much much more.
A big contributor to the success TechOps have had to date is the way weâve embedded engineers in the squad, meaning weâve been able to automate away a lot of the manual work traditionally associated with a TechOps squad.
This has allowed us to move quickly, achieve an incredible ratio of TechOps people to total employees, and reap the benefits of being able to hire people all across the world without friction.
Youâll help us solve problems such as:
Youâll be a backend engineer in the squad. Some of the projects youâll be involved in might include:
Youâll work closely with TechOps generalists and engineers from around the business to tackle some of the challenges mentioned above, working at the intersection between Security, People and TechOps to make sure weâre moving forwards together.
Security, scalability and how we continue to support the services youâre building should always be front of mind.
Youâll also have the opportunity to coach and mentor others in the squad on engineering best practices. We want to empower everyone in the squad to automate away the low-value manual work, and youâll be key to unlocking this potential alongside other engineers in the squad.
At Monzo weâre aiming to build the best current account in the world. We are always keen to hear from capable, creative engineers who want to help us accomplish that goal đ
Our backend engineers have a variety of different backgrounds
We have several non-graduates; only some of us studied Computer Science; one of the team has a degree in Marketing; some of us have worked in huge companies; some have only ever worked in startups; others are former consultants. As long as you enjoy learning new things, weâd love to talk to you. We do not ask for formal qualifications or degree requirements for any of our engineering roles.

We are looking for software engineers to continue developing and scaling our products and infrastructure.
The Project
Named by the World Economic Forum as one of the world's 30 Technology Pioneers 2016, Synthace is re-imagining how we work with biology, exponentially improving the speed and quality of the final results.
This is made possible through our revolutionary cloud based platform for designing biological experiments, simulating them, translating instructions for automated lab equipment, and visualising complex data sets from the results. All of this is done by Antha, which is already impacting how scientists work with biology in major companies like Dow, Merck and GSK.
Antha lowers the level of entry for scientists wanting to introduce automation to their work, while allowing specialist technicians to get even more out of the existing equipment in the labs. It is directly contributing to faster, more efficient research into hard to cure genetic diseases such as Cancer.
If knowing your work is having a positive impact on the world, it doesn't get much better than this.
You'll be working within a tight-knit, friendly and collaborative development team on exciting projects with plenty of technical challenges to get your teeth into.
You won't find any micro-management here - we're all about freedom, trust, enablement and personal ownership. We give you the space to solve complex problems, while offering support if/when needed.
Salary: ÂŁ80k-120k depending on experience + equity options
