money.co.uk exists to help consumers make more informed financial decisions. Our free, online comparison service allows consumers to compare financial products, from credit cards to savings accounts, loans to travel money. We want our users to feel reassured that we're on their side when it comes to their finances.
We're part of RVU, a group of online brands that include: Confused, Uswitch, Tempcover, and Mojo Mortgages.
We are known as the Financial Services team for Uswitch, Confused and money.co.uk, and our goal is to be the UK's favourite way to choose the best financial products for big life events - from credit cards to use while travelling, to savings accounts to help move you closer to a dream purchase.
We build the web apps, back office systems and tooling that power financial product comparison, integrate with our partners' APIs, track sales, optimise marketing and drive reporting. We are currently growing our offering to small and medium businesses.
Our stack is TypeScript, React and Node.js (Bun where it fits), running on Kubernetes in AWS.
Key ResponsibilitiesAs a Staff Software Engineer you will set the technical direction for Financial Services and raise the standard the team holds itself to.
You will work across the full stack (infrastructure, databases, pipelines, servers, CDNs, responsive accessible React components aligned to our design system, real-time metrics and alerting) with product managers, commercial managers, ops executives, data analysts, designers and other engineers.
Most of your day lands on the front end, but you own quality end to end.
You will turn commercial and customer problems into working software, and put a value on the problems worth solving first. You will make the engineers around you better, measured by what the team ships rather than what you ship alone (we do not hire lone wolves).
You will run code reviews, give and take direct feedback without ego, and keep our applications tested, secure and maintainable.
We already run AI inside live workflows and have several projects with AI at the core. You will find concrete uses for AI that move a metric, then help other teams adopt what actually works. We treat AI fluency as a core requirement, so expect to show, in interview, where you have used AI tooling to ship real work.
What we're looking forWe are looking for a technical expert who raises the whole team's output. You strike the balance between rigour and urgency: you know when detail matters and when it is a valueless rabbit hole. You have built everything from MVPs to large scale production systems, and you can debug complex systems well enough that the right improvement becomes obvious. You keep up with the industry, assess new libraries, tools and approaches on evidence, and adopt the ones that pay off.
Skills required:Kubernetes, Prometheus, Grafana, Argo Workflows, GitHub Actions, Elasticsearch/OpenSearch, PostgreSQL, BigQuery, dbt data pipelines, Fastly, Storybook, component libraries and design systems, Bun.
You will not tick every box on this list, and we would rather you applied than talked yourself out of it. We expect you to keep learning here, and we will back you to do it.
What we offerWe want to give you a great work environment, support your growth both personally and professionally, and provide benefits that make your time at RVU even more enjoyable. Here are some of the benefits you can look forward to:
