Everyone belongs at OVO:

At OVO, we are on a mission to solve one of humanity's biggest challenges, the climate crisis. And we know it takes all of us to change the world. That's why we need diverse people from all abilities, gender identities, ethnicities, ages, sexual orientations, life experiences and backgrounds to join us.

Teamworking for the planet:

Everything we do here spins around Plan Zero. So, naturally, the team you’ll be joining plays a gigantic role in making that happen. Here’s how:

As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll own the end-to-end development of complex systems and features that are core to our business.

This role in a nutshell:

You will lead technical initiatives, make critical design decisions, and mentor engineers to elevate the team's capabilities. Your expertise will be the driving force that ensures we build scalable, high-quality software that pushes our company forward.

Your key outcomes will be:

  • Technical Leadership & Architecture: Drive the architectural vision for key features, designing robust, scalable systems and contributing to the technical roadmap to influence the future direction of the product.
  • Engineering Excellence & Quality: Champion best practices by writing clean, efficient code, leading rigorous code reviews, and implementing comprehensive automated testing to ensure high-quality, performant solutions.
  • Mentorship & Team Growth: Lead and mentor other engineers, fostering a culture of continuous learning and collaboration through knowledge sharing, technical discussions, and constructive feedback.
  • Project Execution & Delivery: Translate complex projects into clear, executable tasks within an Agile framework, proactively resolving blockers to ensure the timely and efficient delivery of team commitments.
  • Community & Knowledge Sharing: Actively contribute to the wider engineering community by leading discussions, sharing expertise through documentation and workshops, and driving the exchange of best practices.

You’ll be successful here at OVO if you…

  • Professional Experience: Significant hands-on experience developing software in an agile environment, with a proven track record of delivering high-quality, clean code.
  • Backend & Architecture: Expertise in designing and building scalable microservices-based architectures using languages like Node.js, Python, and TypeScript.
  • Cloud & DevOps: Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (GCP, AWS), containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and modern CI/CD practices.
  • Frontend Development: Proficiency in modern frontend frameworks such as React.js and/or React Native.
  • Leadership & Mentorship: Proven ability to lead technical initiatives and mentor other engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence.
  • Collaboration & Problem-Solving: Excellent communication and analytical skills, with the ability to thrive in a high-ownership, collaborative team environment.

Let’s talk about what’s in it for you:

We’ll pay you between £58,000 and £90,000, depending on your specific skills and experience.

We keep our pay ranges broad on purpose to give us, and you, flexibility to match your experience to our zero carbon mission.

You’ll be eligible for an on-target bonus of 15%. We have one OVO bonus plan that focuses on the collective performance of our people to deliver our Plan Zero goal.

We also offer plenty of green benefits and progressive policies to help you feel like you belong at OVO…and there’s flex pay. We'll give you 9% Flex Pay on top of your salary – 4% of this is auto enrolled into your pension, and the remaining 5% is yours to do what you like with. You can use this to buy from our extensive range of flexible benefits, including our green benefits which we've put at the heart of our offering, add to your pension or even take it as cash.

Here’s a taster of what’s on offer:

For starters, you’ll get 34 days of holiday (including bank holidays).

For your health With benefits like a healthcare cash plan or private medical insurance depending on your career level, critical illness cover, life assurance, health assessments, and more

For your wellbeing With gym membership, travel insurance, workplace ISA, will writing services, dental insurance, and more

For your lifestyle With extra holiday buying, discount dining, home & tech loans, and supporting your favourite charities with give-as-you-earn donations

For your home Get up to £400 towards any OVO Energy plan, plus great discounts on solar, smart thermostats and EV chargers

For your commute Nab a great deal on ultra-low emission car leasing, plus our cycle to work scheme and public transport season ticket loans

For your Belonging

To find better ways to support our people, we need to listen to each other’s experiences and find ways to build a truly inclusive and diverse workplace. As part of this, we have 8 Belonging Networks at OVO. Led by our people, for our people - so when you join OVO, you can play a part - big or small - with any of the Networks. It's up to you.

Oh, and one last thing...

We’d be thrilled if you tick off all our boxes, yet we also believe it’s just as important we tick off all of yours. And if you think you have most of what we’re looking for but not every single thing, go ahead and hit apply. We’d still love to hear from you!

If you have any additional requirements, there’s a space to let us know on the application form; we want to make the process as easy and comfortable for you as possible.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
