The role

Join giffgaff as a Software Engineer and play a key role in shaping modern, flexible digital experiences for our members. You will be part of a collaborative, product focused engineering team, building scalable solutions that make it simple and fair for customers to use our services, while embracing modern approaches including the use of AI to enhance and accelerate software development.

Working in a cross functional environment, you will contribute across the full stack with a strong backend focus. You will design, build and continuously improve resilient, cloud native systems, using practices such as pair programming and test driven development, while helping to evolve how the team leverages AI and modern tooling to deliver high quality, sustainable products.

Who we are

Do you want to join a connectivity provider that's up to good? At giffgaff, we do things differently. We call out the bad and find a better way. We're laser-focused on flexibility, value and mutual good. And we're proud to be a certified B Corp. This means we've joined a network of more than 2,000 UK companies who want to make a positive impact on people and the planet. Working at giffgaff is something you could be proud of too.

You’ll get the best of both worlds, the energy and fast pace of giffgaff, plus all the benefits that come with being part of our parent company, Virgin Media O2.

Our business model is unique. We work with our members (our customers) to understand their needs in all areas of the business. We love this highly collaborative approach. We’re always looking to acquire new members, and to do that we need the best people in our team.

In return for your outstanding efforts, you’ll be rewarded with a competitive salary and excellent benefits that are all about making your work life a winner. Take a look at our culture and benefits - you might just be surprised.

Our bright and modern gaff is in Uxbridge, in leafy West London. But if commuting isn’t for you, most of our roles can be hybrid or remote, or anywhere in between.

The must haves

In order to be considered, you must have the following experience;

  • Strong backend development experience using Java and Spring Boot
  • Proven capability in Test Driven Development, clean code and refactoring
  • Proven experience working within a product engineering environment
  • Solid system design skills and experience building scalable, reliable services
  • Experience working in collaborative, cross functional teams using modern engineering practices

The other stuff we are looking for

We’d also love you to bring;

  • Experience with event driven architecture (ideally Kafka) or micro frontend approaches
  • Exposure to mobile or app development
  • Experience with cloud, containers or distributed systems
  • Interest or experience in using AI to support software development
  • A passion for ethical decision making and contributing to sustainable outcomes

What’s in it for you

Our goal is to celebrate our people and their lives. We aim to create a culture that empowers everyone to bring the best versions of themselves to work each and every day. We believe the most inclusive and diverse culture makes for a better business and a brighter world.

Working at giffgaff means you get a bumper reward package bursting with benefits, and loads of extras you can add if you’d like. These are designed to support both you and your loved ones, making sure that you’re covered no matter what life throws your way.

We’re all about hybrid working here, so expect to have a base location where you’ll have the right facilities to enable amazing collaboration and quality time with your team, alongside all the right kit to work from home too.

Next steps

If we feel like a place where you can belong, we’d love to learn more about you as a person and your experience to date. Once you’ve submitted an application, the next steps of the process, if successful, are likely to include an initial recruiter conversation, a technical assessment, and interviews with members of the engineering team.

Please note: Applications will be reviewed, and interviews conducted throughout the duration of this advert, therefore we may bring the closing date forward. We encourage all interested applicants to apply as soon as possible. If you’re offered a job with us, it will be conditional, based on the passing of background checks. All roles require a criminal record check and some roles need a financial probity check. Your recruiter can provide you with more information, if needed.

Thanks for your patience and for showing an interest in joining the giffgaff family.
