Job Description

Rebank is building the financial operating system for high-growth companies. The way companies grow has evolved over the last decade; how they manage their finances hasn't.

Our customers used to rely on error-prone spreadsheets and outdated internal processes but with Rebank they can manage their bank accounts, easily send funds across the world, and access analytics and insights all from a single login.

This is the first step towards a new kind of banking and we have the backing of great investors including Y Combinator to help us achieve that.

Here's how we work

We believe that deep technical expertise and an understanding of the problems we solve for our customers are equally important. We choose the right technology for the job because we understand how it works and how it benefits our customers. You'll be joining as an early employee so you will have significant autonomy over your role and influence in how we grow the company.

Currently, our tech stack utilises the following

  • Go (Golang)
  • PostgreSQL
  • Redis
  • AWS
  • Docker

You will spend time on

  • Designing and implementing our core global banking and payments systems
  • Building robust identity and access management systems
  • Integrating with banks and financial service providers
  • Ensuring our devops and security architecture is at the high standard our customers expect of a bank
  • Collaborating with design and product management

You should have

  • 3+ years experience with Go or other strongly-typed languages
  • A desire for solving complex engineering problems at scale
  • A high-degree of independence and drive
  • A strong knowledge of security practices
  • Comfortable working with constant change and product evolution
  • Constructively collaborate with teams across engineering, design and product
  • Working knowledge of the entire web stack - from DNS to CSS
  • The desire for a competitive salary and equity - everyone in the company shares in our success

It’s a bonus if you have experience in

  • Payments and/or banking
  • Devops (docker/kubernetes/terraform)

Culture at Rebank

👩🏽‍🔬 Learn from users, build what they want

Be inquisitive about the problems we're solving for customers and how it impacts their day. A deeper understanding of our users helps us focus on building the best experiences.

🎯 Be product focused

Align user outcomes with business outcomes. Err on the side of risky ideas with high potential. Take pride in creating beautiful product workflows.

ᾞE Plan collaboratively, execute independently

Collaborate on ideas. Take action early and learn as you go. Work with a high degree of autonomy.

We're an equal opportunity employer (and very pet friendly).

Utility Warehouse
Colindale, London, United Kingdom / Remote
£45,000 to £90,000 a year
April 2019
1 Applicants This Week
More Than 6 Months Old

Job Description

Company

Utility Warehouse is a FTSE 250 organisation which has established itself as the most trusted supplier of utility products in the UK. Utility Warehouse is the only genuine multi-utility operator in the market providing gas, electricity, landline, broadband, mobile & insurance products and services to households and businesses nationwide, all on one single monthly bill. With over 600,000 customers the organisation has grown through a philosophy of offering savings, simplicity and service. Customers enjoy a number of advantages, including membership of a discount club, and a unique CashBack reward system on everyday shopping. The organisation does not advertise, preferring instead to invest in customer services and to keep prices low. Utility Warehouse has predominantly grown through a network of over 45,000 partners who operate as lead generators and advocates for the organisation. These partners come from a range of personal and professional backgrounds, and actively take it upon themselves to promote and recommend Utility Warehouse to friends, families and their professional networks. Trust between these partners and the organisation is crucial, and ensures that customer service and satisfaction are consistently prioritised.

Background

Utility Warehouse is an energetic and entrepreneurial challenger in a market traditionally composed of monolithic, slow competitors. In the utilities market, it is difficult to compete on the quality of the product and therefore establishing a strong value proposition is crucial to avoid a race to the bottom on price. Utility Warehouse has established itself as the most trusted brand in its sector, winning accolades from industry publications and consumer advisory guides. Customer service is at the core of their business ethos and another way they differentiate from their competitors; 93% of customers would recommend the organisation to a friend. By establishing a best-in-class experience for the consumer, Utility Warehouse commands a strong market position in an age where technology makes it increasingly easy to access information on consumers’ experiences. The organisation is well-placed to capture an increasingly large portion of the £52bn market that they operate in. By staying true to their values of trust and service, Utility Warehouse is the only major provider in the market to be both growing and profitable.

Utility Warehouse has an adaptive, agile, fast-paced culture which has enabled it to grow rapidly. The management team has expanded over the last two years as part of the growth strategy with significant hires in technology, legal, marketing, and finance. These hires and the rebuilding of the platform will enable the company to grow to two million customers over the medium-term. Utility Warehouse operates at high-transactional scale, processing large volumes of data. This presents new opportunities to understand customer behaviours better and to create an improved customer experience as a result.

Opportunity

With ambitious product plans for the future, it is important to have a solid foundation to enable growth for the business, allow innovation and achieve rapid time to market. To realise this, the underlying platforms and systems must be designed to be flexible, modular and resilient.

You will join our Insurance team tasked with designing and building the insurance platform from the ground up to enable new opportunities to our insurance product and services.

The platform will be a set of simple and intelligent APIs built using microservices and event driven architectures. Internally, the decision and rating engines will leverage integration with numerous 3rd party systems to provide quotes, offer addons, allow policy uptake and operational management.

Key responsibilities

  • Design, architect and build multi-channel platform solutions
  • Contribute ideas and influence business wide solution architecture
  • Build robust and scalable end-to-end software solutions
  • Participate in the entire development life cycle, from requirements to delivery
  • Influence other team members in a cross functional product team
  • Build integrations with legacy systems with a focus on eventually moving away from them

Key requirements

  • Good engineering skill with an eye for both modelling and code architecture
  • Knowledge of when and how to apply test driven approaches
  • Understanding of microservice/service oriented and distributed architectures
  • Understanding of event source and/or event driven architectures
  • Belief in agile principles and a devops culture and be familiar working in a agile enviornment
  • Experience with a modern programming language (preferably golang)
  • Experience with containers and container orchestration technology will be beneficial but not essential
