Life at Brighte:
We’re all about ensuring you have the tools make a difference, and an environment that allows you to do that! We are a true remote first & flexibility first organisation, so if you want to spend quality time getting the kids ready for school, hit the gym at lunch or dash to social sports in the evening, we think that’s great, we know it’s only going to bring you back more engaged!
There’s no requirement to come to the office, but it’s always here if you need. When you are in the office, you’ll find yourself surrounded by collaborative spaces, free snacks & kombucha/beer/wine on tap for out Social Thursdays!
We strongly encourage internal mobility/promotions, and we hire for Brighte as a whole, not for individual teams. So if you want to see some clear advancement in your career, we want to see it too!
We’ve also got a couple of industry leading work policies to make sure that when life happens, you’re ready for it:
- 20 weeks paid leave for new parents the first 2 years
- Gender neutral; covering adoption, surrogacy and birth; flexible return to work options & super paid up to 12 months

We want to make every home sustainable, and we’re doing that by eliminating the biggest barrier to household renewable energy solutions, the price! The engineers at Brighte work together to build platforms, applications & features to break down the pain around applying for loans, managing repayments & creating a seamless experience for the customer, while they do their part to help the planet!
We want to maintain our lofty standards by bringing on board someone who’ll lift other engineers up to a higher level through guidance, mentoring and coaching. Through contributing to our creative environment, we build collaborative where help is readily available and no question is a bad question. Our engineering managers are excellent at enabling senior engineers, and we want you to pass that down the line.
We’re a team that values quality over quantity and we want you to drive that, bringing in your previous experience to help attack problems from a whole new perspective. This’ll require you to flex your problem-solving muscles, along with collaborating with different business units to provide the best solution possible.
What You Bring:
One of our core values is ‘Deserve the Customer’, so a customer first attitude is paramount for us and as a tech team, we need to embrace that as much as anyone. From a technical perspective, there are a few things we do that we think have been pillars in our success as a tech team. We build robust and scalable systems; we champion Test Driven Design, and we push for the absolute best practices and standards across the scale-up landscape. If you think you can contribute to all those points, that’s a huge tick for us.
Our tech stack is predominantly:
- Typescript, React, Node & GraphQL
- Some legacy PHP that is actively being replaced
- Hosted on AWS where we leverage RDS, ECS, Lambda, SQS, and EventBridge
It’s uncertain times at the moment, but there’s nothing uncertain about the opportunity here at Brighte, we’re building something special and we want to chat to you about joining us, no matter your background.
