Product Engineer in London

No one should be dealing with the cost-of-living crisis alone.

Nous is a well-backed early-stage startup on a mission to make people’s lives simpler and fairer.

We believe there’s a better, smarter and simpler way to stay on top of your household bills – get us to do it instead!

Our service monitors and optimises household bills for our users, helps them stay vigilant against rising costs and saves them money whilst freeing them from a lifetime of admin.

We’ve got some really exciting projects coming up that you could be involved in!

These include:

• Building integrations with email providers and LLM APIs to extract relevant documents and provide AI-enabled insights on users' household bills
• Developing long-running workflows that orchestrate a combination of automated and operational tasks and enable the process of switching users to new, better, providers of household services
• Implementing Open Banking features that help users monitor payments and sneaky price rises
• Extending our concurrent task management and recommendation technology, simplifying and guiding users through the process of finding the best deals
• Adding personalised calendar integration, so that users won't forget any significant dates for their household

We’ve thought carefully about how to ensure our product and business has a significant positive social impact.

We’re very proud to say that, as of October 2023, Nous is officially a B Corp.

This means we’ve been formally accredited for our commitment to exceptionally high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability.

We also regularly lead consumer advocacy campaigns, including initiatives to increase the uptake of broadband social tariffs and crack down on telecoms companies' unfair mid-contract price hikes.
