Description

About Uswitch: At Uswitch, our goal is to be the UK’s favourite way to choose and manage home-life essentials - from broadband and mobiles to energy and insurance. As we continue to grow and expand our services, we are looking for talented individuals who share our passion for making a positive impact on people\'s lives. If you want to be part of a team that is transforming the way consumers navigate their household services, we would love to hear from you.

The Customer Platform Team Every interaction with a customer is powered by data — and your work will ensure that data is trusted, accessible, and actioned in the smartest ways possible. As the Customer Platform team, we sit at the heart of our organisation, helping internal teams to collect, analyse, and activate customer data — powering everything from CRM integrations to audience targeting in marketing campaigns.

We partner with engineers, analysts, product teams and the privacy office to make customer-centric work possible — providing foundational tooling like address lookup and consent capture, and offering more advanced capabilities like our internal event stream platform and a fully-managed DBT environment. Our services help teams track behavioural signals, enrich customer profiles, and transform raw data into decision-ready insight — all while maintaining a strong focus on data protection.

We primarily write in Go, but also maintain services and tooling in Python and Clojure. You\'ll help us evolve our architecture as demands grow, and support a culture of autonomy and rigour — where context-switching is frequent, but the impact is multiplied across the business.

What you\'ll be doing

Engineering at Uswitch focuses on:

• Excellence: Work in an established & experienced product team branching into new feature development, supporting and improving the team’s delivery & technical expertise.
• Collaboration: Work with various cross-functional disciplines across the organization to make the best ideas a reality.
• Autonomy: Authority over technical decisions and implementation approach, so you can deliver using methods that best align with your ways of working.
• Data Driven: Utilize rich real-time logs, metrics, and data to monitor and improve product performance & reliability.
• Culture: Enhancing a diverse engineering culture by taking part in various technical catch ups, working groups and All Hands.
• Experience: Enrich RVU’s perspective by sharing your experience, knowledge & expertise in a continuous learning environment.

As part of a platform engineering team you will be working with many teams across the business as we support the various initiatives, this will involve:

• Feature ideation, development and measurement
• Defining, evolving, and applying team processes
• Developing data models for products, insights, customers, etc
• Maintaining internal tools and services for stakeholder teams to use
• Building efficient CI/CD pipelines
• Ensuring we are meeting our data, privacy and security requirements

What we\'re looking for

• Experience working in large and small agile teams of engineers, and eager to collaborate with other disciplines, such as Designers, Analysts & Product Owners.
• Good understanding of building and maintaining robust, performant APIs
• Experience with multi languages is a plus (experience with Go would be preferred) - but we believe in using the right tool for the job
• Pragmatic approach to deliver effective solutions to address business & consumer challenges.
• 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.

Our Commitment to you At RVU, we are dedicated to developing valuable, inclusive, and user-friendly products and services that deliver positive outcomes for all of our customers. To achieve this it’s essential that our teams reflect the diverse range of people in our community. We believe in being the change we wish to see in the world, by embracing our differences and holding ourselves accountable to being open and inclusive teammates and wider community members.
