Our mission:

At Switchee, we believe that everyone deserves to live in a decent home and that the environments we inhabit have a massive influence on our ability to enjoy life and prosper.

One in five households in the UK live in social housing, a sector with the right values at its core but that has historically struggled to deploy innovations in the home. Many residents still can’t afford to heat their homes, and live in cold, mouldy properties they can’t be proud of.

We believe that radical innovation in internet-connected technology can ensure that every resident, every day, is living in a home that allows them to succeed. That’s why our products are built not just on great technology, but on an understanding of what people want from the space they live in.

This approach led us to reimagine the most mundane household object: the thermostat, into a product that automatically reduces energy bills, looks great, and offers control to those who want it.

We are also revolutionising the way social landlords manage their housing stock with an obsessively tailored SaaS property dashboard and handy alerts on things like when the boiler is going to break.

Our goal is to perfect the ultimate connected hub for the social home. It’s going to revolutionise the way residents interact with their homes and landlords manage their properties.

Who You Are:
As a Cloud Engineer you will be working closely with the product and embedded device teams, contributing to the design and development of key product features across our cloud platform, including:
  • Our external customer-facing web and mobile applications.
  • Our external customer-facing API.
  • Our IoT platform and data ingestion/analytics pipelines that interface to our fleet of smart thermostats.
This will be a diverse, hands-on technical role that touches all layers of our stack, covering C#/.Net 6, ASP.Net Core/WebApi, React/Javascript/React Native, AWS (IoTCore, Lambda, SQS, SNS, EventBridge, API Gateway, DynamoDb, RDS, S3), Terraform.

You’ll be developing new features across the whole tech stack, while also supporting and maintaining our existing platform as needed. You’ll be working with our Product team, Data Science team and customers to define and implement features that will in turn help us constantly improve the quality of lives for people living in rented homes.

Above all, you’ll care about the code you write and be working within a supportive, agile team who are all passionate about building amazing software solutions with a focus on quality and maintainability.

Your experience:
These are ideal but not required as we know some people are less likely to apply for the role unless they are 100% qualified. We promote a diverse, inclusive and empowering culture at Switchee:
  • 2+ years experience in a professional software development role.
  • Experience building engaging user interfaces, with a good working knowledge of client-side development technologies and frameworks (e.g. JavaScript/TypeScript/React/JQuery).
  • Good working knowledge of C#/.Net Core and designing/building RESTful APIs with ASP.Net Web API.
  • Experience and understanding of key software engineering principles and patterns including SOLID, DDD and CQRS.
  • Experience working with SQL and NoSQL data persistence technologies (e.g Postgres, Sql Server, DynamoDb).
  • Experience implementing solutions on top of a major cloud provider and working with native cloud services (AWS/Azure/GCP).
  • A test first mentality, experienced writing unit/integration tests. Experience with test automation frameworks and toolsets is a bonus.
  • Experience working in Agile teams, a self-starter with the ability to work both autonomously and as part of a team.
It would be a plus if you had previously:
  • Experience with mobile app development languages/frameworks (e.g. React Native, Dart/Flutter).
  • Worked with distributed event-driven architectures and associated patterns e.g. messaging/queuing.
  • These are ideal but not required - we will happily consider applicants who we believe can successfully grow into the role, even if they are not 100% qualified.
Perks:
We like to keep things simple and flexible at Switchee and consider you to be joining our family:
  • Unlimited holiday policy + Bank Holidays so you can take as much as you want! No need to count those Winter break days anymore!
  • Everyone at Switchee enjoys flexible working hours and is the master of their own routine.
  • We have a remote-first Hybrid Working Model, with offices in Somerset House (Embankment).
  • We will provide you with all the necessary equipment to work from home in a safe and enjoyable manner.
  • We socialise together with regular outings in London, Quarterly Company Off-sites and an annual "working remotely" trip where you have the option (but no obligation) to join us in working from a fun location.
  • We are hosting regular Virtual Socials and keep finding creative ways of staying connected with each other.
  • We provide an L&D budget and access to our Switchee Library, where you can request new books monthly.
  • We provide access to ThanksBen - a platform with plentiful discounts and free virtual wellbeing sessions.
  • We offer Spill, a Mental Health app at your fingertips, where you can get in touch with a therapist in record time.
