Job Description

 

The OVO Group’s purpose is to drive progress towards net zero carbon living. To reach Plan Zero, we need everyone to come together - not just as customers buying energy, but as members with a common goal. As part of this ambitious plan, our goal is to become the ‘Best Employer in the UK’ by 2030. If you think you could be the talent we’re looking for, then come and join the adventure!

Where in the world of OVO will I be working?

We're growing! We currently have vacancies in various teams, so if you have a preference for the front end, back end or both, we want to hear from you.

We are growing our new Tech Hub based in Lisbon, Portugal and are looking for motivated, ambitious engineers to help us move further towards our goals! One key thing that all of our engineers have in common is a desire to develop brilliant, industry disrupting products as well as their own skills.

We trust our development teams to choose their tech stacks, you’ll commonly encounter Scala, TypeScript, Clojure, Kotlin, Node, Java, React, React Native, Docker, Kubernetes, Kafka and Terraform. We run our services in GCP and AWS.

Is this the job for me?

You’re the right person for us if:

  • You are genuinely passionate about developing products that will positively impact over a million people and also our environment
  • You love working in teams and collaboratively building features that impact customers
  • You are motivated by owning products, from inception to continuous improvement
  • You believe strongly in test driven development and continuous delivery
  • You love building scalable, resilient solutions
  • You seek learning opportunities to deepen your expertise or broaden your knowledge

What experience you’ll need:

  • You’re a hands on engineer with expertise in at least one programming language - if your experience doesn't match our stack exactly then don't worry, we hire based on software engineering talent, not language-specific skillset. Interested in us? We're interested in you!
  • You have built or contributed to a variety of systems, ideally in different technologies
  • Knowledge of the best engineering practices and continuous delivery
  • You have experience building highly performant applications
  • You are fluent in written and spoken English in a business context

What we offer:

  • A very strong engineering culture (read more: https://tech.ovoenergy.com/)
  • Discretionary annual bonus scheme
  • An annual holiday allowance of 22 days plus public holidays
  • Daily meal allowance 
  • Access to a range of learning and development resources
  • And lots more!

We want the best people

At OVO, we empower our people to have choice around where and when they work - flexible working arrangements can be discussed for all of our roles. Please speak to the Talent Acquisition team for more info.

We’re keen to meet people with varied backgrounds - our view is the more inclusive we are, the better our work will be. We want to build teams which represent a variety of experiences, perspectives and skills, and we recognise talent on the basis of merit and potential.

We understand some people may not apply for jobs unless they tick every box. If you're excited about joining us and think you have much of what we're looking for, even if you're not 100% sure… we'd love to hear from you.
