We’re Bulb, a technology company and green energy supplier. We’ve developed a unique operating model to provide affordable renewable energy to UK homes and businesses. Technology is at the core of both our business and our members’ experiences.

We are looking for a pragmatic and collaborative lawyer to help join our expanding regulatory team.

In this role, you will deal with a diverse set of issues that straddle data protection and energy regulation.

The ideal candidate is passionate about technology and excited about Bulb’s mission. We’re looking for a team player with a sense of humour, who enjoys solving complex problems.

• Decisive, excellent judgment, and ability to make smart decisions under tight deadlines in the face of ambiguity and imperfect information.
• You have exceptional communication skills, with an ability to make complex regulatory concepts clear to business teams, developers, lawyers and regulators.

Smart

We're responsible for the smart meter rollout at Bulb. This includes everything from allowing member to booking meter installations to the Bulb Account experience once you have a smart meter and analysing the usage data to help us buy energy more efficiently. We're a multi disciplinary team and work closely with the experience team to ensure our members get the best smart meter experience.

At Bulb we want to hire people with the experiences necessary to get going quickly, but who are also interested in learning new things and are comfortable working in a changing environment.

Here are some of the things we think will be valuable, but we're also open-minded. If you recognise yourself any of these traits then we’d love for you to send us an application.

* You take pleasure from clear code, see writing tests as an integral part of the development process and understand the benefit of writing code and tests in small increments.

* You are keen to learn new technologies and have ideas about how we do things better

* You like solving both real world and technical problems

* You are an enthusiastic team player who enjoys collaborating across teams and departments

* You are passionate about learning and your own professional development

The Stack

At Bulb we use a wide variety of technologies. While we have core technologies that we work with, we're always trying to pick the best tool for the job, and are always looking at what's on the horizon.
Our stack currently includes:

• Node, Typescript, Koa, Redux, React, React Native, Webpack, Babel, Flow
• Circle CI, Kubernetes, Docker and Google Cloud Platform

We use Git for source control, write tests and run continuous integration, and review each other’s code through pull requests.

Ideally, you would be familiar with these technologies or similar patterns; notably, Typescript/Javascript coupled with React is a core technology for us. But we’re more interested in your broad experience of software development than of specific tools or libraries. You should be comfortable getting up-to-speed quickly in new tools and platforms. You should be pragmatic and experienced enough to know when a different choice of technology would be more suitable, and comfortable leading explorations into new technologies.
