At RVU we combine the close-knit and agile environment of a startup, with the know-how, technology and backing of a well-established company.
Our mission is to empower people to make confident decisions. With our unique set of brands, including Uswitch, Confused.com, Money.co.uk and Mojo, we have the power to reach millions of consumers and the technology to deliver a world class online experience for them.
What's the opportunity?
You'll sit with the team that owns the Uswitch Mobile App as well as the wider energy comparison journey and services that power the app.
The app is built on React Native for both iOS and Android and distributed on the App Store and Google Play Store respectively. The team needs engineers with mobile app experience to build on and improve the current feature set of the app, as well as any essential maintenance and BAU.
The current focus for the team is testing engaging experiences which provide simple ways for users to manage and optimise their household bills. This involves data visualisation and analysis as well as building journeys to support customer decision making. Upcoming projects include a broader comparison experience expanding away from Uswitch’s traditional utilities comparison and switching products.
What will I be doing?
Write the mobile app UI code, including automated tests where appropriate
Consult with UX/UI designers on best practices and defining the user interface
Ensure quality of code and an appropriate level of testing of releases
Manage the release process, including the app review process with Apple
Work with the other engineers to identify changes to existing APIs, or to define new APIs as necessary
Sitting in the wider energy team, you will be instrumental in informing and supporting the strategy for web vs app
Requirements
Hands-on experience with React Native, building apps for both iOS and Android
Experience in releasing apps on the App Store and Google Play Store
Awareness of best practices on each platform and the differences
Comfortable working with a high degree of autonomy in a small team and managing your own time effectively
Experience working in large and small agile teams of engineers, and eager to collaborate with other disciplines, such as Designers, Analysts & Product Owners.
