Tell me about OVO… 

Love programming? Want to build great software, using leading edge technologies, with smart, passionate people? 

The energy industry is changing, and technology is at the forefront of innovations that will transform it forever. 

At OVO, technology and digital products are at the heart of our customer experience and they are key to our commercial success. 

We were the first energy company to offer our Pay As You Go customers the opportunity to top up using their phone, the first company to offer real time electricity and gas usage data, and the first to release an apple watch App. We’ve been featured in Wired magazine for our ability to develop software to shatter the status quo. 

But we’re just getting started. 

We need to develop, test, and release software that scales, quickly and reliably. Over the last few years, we’ve built a highly skilled team of software engineers that are making a real impact to our business, and shaking up our industry. 

We care about code quality, test automation and continuous delivery. Our developers drive our technology choices and own the software they create from their laptop all the way through to production. We’re building a better energy company, and we’re doing it one Git commit at a time. 

What will your day look like? 

You’ll turn up in the morning, grab a coffee and have a chat with some of your team mates 

You’ll do your daily stand up and be super clear on what you’re doing that day 

You’ll grab a partner and do some pair programming in the morning 

When you’ve had enough of each other you’ll test your skills at Rocket League or FIFA 

Try to not forget to order your free lunch on Friday 

You’ll get back to pairing and finish off that small feature 

You’ll grab lunch with your team mates and talk about the latest and greatest tech 

You might have a tribe meeting with all the other front end people from other teams to share ideas 

You’re about to get back to coding, but realise you should really have a whiteboard session first 

You’ll be thinking about how you can implement some of those great ideas from the tribe 

You’ll get back to coding 

Time for tea? 

More coding, chatting, Rocket League
