If working on a platform that enriches billions of banking transactions and serves high-performance APIs to our clients through a great developer experience sounds like the kind of challenge you’d enjoy then we’d love for you to get in touch.

  Utility Warehouse

  We're on a mission, to build the UK's only multi-service provider and simplify household bills.

Our systems are eventually consistent, event sourced, designed after our business domain and deployed in a distributed, micro architecture.We are primarily a go house with frontend powered mostly by typescript rolled react native/ graphql duo; we like experimenting, there’s more rust and WASM coming up. We’re into cloud native and kubernetes, if it Dockerizes it fits, some examples include: cockroachdb, tikv, pql, mongo for storage; kafka, nats for brokers; thanos, grafana, graylog for instrumentation; kustomize, kube-applier, traefik for deployment and operations.
  
  We lead by example and own problems to their resolution, we’re pragmatic, respect UW engineering standards and practices, and value simplicity over complexity, we put a high value on innovation and speed of delivery. Our preference for solutions are open source, open API and cloud native. We take time to sharpen the saw: learning, mentoring, experimenting and improving our tooling, we embrace failure as an opportunity to learn and avoid a culture of blame.

  Causal

  Causal is building a spreadsheet for the 21st century. Spreadsheets haven’t changed in the past 40 years and using formulas like Sheet1!$E$4-D2 feels like writing Assembly code. In software engineering, we’re used to variable names, functions, version control, testing, linting, etc. but none of these advances have reached the most popular programming language (Excel and Google Sheets). Causal is changing that!
  
  At its core, Causal is a multi-dimensional calculation engine written in Go that evaluates millions of cells in seconds. But customers are demanding more and performance is our main focus. The goal is to scale this calculation engine by 1-2 orders of magnitude over the next months.
  
  With over $20 million raised from top-tier VCs (Accel and Coatue) and high-profile investors (FTX CEO, Sam-Bankman-Fried and AngelList co-founder Naval Ravikant, among others), we are well positioned to execute on our vision, and make Causal the spreadsheet of choice for number-crunching.
