Senior Software Engineer

About the role

• Hybrid working: we spend 2 days together a week, with this role based in our Manchester office.
• Level: Senior level software developer
• Tech: AWS, Java, Typescript, Vue.js (Backend leaning)

Every day, we push beyond expectations to help millions of people save money, at a time when it’s never mattered more. Through MoneySuperMarket, MoneySavingExpert, Quidco and our B2B partnerships we supply products to more than 24 million unique monthly visitors, helping UK households to save billions of pounds a year. Can you tell this is something we’re exceptionally proud of!

Creative, collaborative, ambitious; it’s hard work. But what makes it worth it? Leaving work knowing we’ve made a difference to our customers, users, and to each other.

Put our distinct brands together with our dedicated colleagues and you’ve got a workplace with lots of personality. We’re open-minded, diverse, and love our differences. Everyone plays a part, and comes together to work hard, go beyond, and make sure everyone feels they belong.

At MONY Group our developers use their expertise and knowledge of building and maintaining large distributed systems to create blazingly fast and reliable experiences that delight our customers. They also use their passion to inspire everyone they work with to deliver a world class experience. We work collaboratively in full stack multi-disciplinary teams where everyone is expected to be hands on across all stages of development.

We're hiring for an experienced, senior-level software developer. This is working in a full-stack product team, but given the work and skills in the team, this role would be suited to either a full-stack or a more backend-leaning developer.

Join us to start going beyond comparison.

Technology At MONY Group

Our technology teams are aligned to value streams, driving a platform approach across the services that we own and build. We value highly collaborative product teams, and our squads are packed with hard-working product managers, designers and engineers.

As a team, our developers own everything across the SDLC; working closely on "what" and "why" we're building, writing, testing, and deploying their code. We love T-shaped developers who understanding the importance of QA in a team and who can own their own infrastructure and delivery. Think pairing, mobbing, TDD, automating, and releasing to production multiple times a day via our highly automated build pipelines.

What tech stack will you be working on?

• BE: Typescript, Node.js, AWS, Java
• FE: Javascript, Typescript, Vue.js

Our backends are a mix of Java and serverless AWS Lambda services using Typescript & Node.js. Primarily you'll develop serverless systems in Typescript but you will interface and work with some systems which are Java microservices. We're open to experience with any object oriented programming language and value a flexible approach to the right tool.

We build our front end apps as single page applications in modern JavaScript frameworks, powered by our microservice architecture. Our infrastructure is hosted in AWS, defined as code, containerised on ECS, and we’re embracing serverless and other cloud native technologies. We share data through an event-driven system backed by Kafka. Our operational data stores are a combination of Mongo and AWS managed Relational Databases.

What are we looking for?

• You'll be working with Typescript, Javascript, Java, AWS, and Vue.js. You don't need to have experience with all of these, but you'll be an experienced developer who has the capability (and interest!) to work with these tools.
• Experience with automated testing (unit, integration, acceptance, E2E, performance) and a desire to practice TDD. We see QA as a team-sport and so you'll be used to driving high levels of quality in your output.
• A good understanding of SOLID design principles and strive to produce clean code.
• Understand DevOps principles and have experience shipping and owning systems using CI/CD in cloud infrastructure.
• Strong agile development practice - we love to ship and deliver value as quickly as possible.
• You'll see value in working in a highly collaborative environment and enjoy pairing and mobbing.

Our interview process:

• We run a remote-first interview process.
• You'll be invited to an initial call with one of our Talent Acquisition team who will be on hand to tell you more about the role, and answer any questions that you have.
• Our technical interview consists of three sections: a Q&A with questions focused on the role of a software engineer, a paired programming task, and finally questions on your behaviours and how you work with others.
• We provide all questions and resources in advance to allow you to showcase your best self during the interview.
• We can also make changes and accommodations to our process, and will work with you on this.

Our benefits include up to 30 days holiday, a bonus, enhanced parental leave, and tools that empower our supportive culture. You can find a full list here.
