Job Description

The role

We are looking for a Software Developer who is up for the challenge of meeting the high expectations of our users and customers through the creation of top notch software. Our Software Developers are self-motivated and passionate about using the right technology to build the best solutions. They are the creative brains behind the design, optimisation and maintenance of our many high-traffic applications, both web and mobile.

You will be working within a close-knit multi-skilled agile team who are collectively responsible for the quality of the end product.

A typical week as a Software Developer might involve: 

  • Pairing with another developer to develop code across the whole technology stack from front-end CSS through application Java to back-end SQL

  • Collaborating with your team to find solutions that satisfy millions of users, tens of thousands of agents and a lot of passionate Rightmovers

  • Helping your team decide which features you’re going to deliver in this sprint, and balancing how you will maintain the applications you are responsible for

  • Reviewing other developers’ code and debating different options

  • Investigating, prototyping and promoting the latest emergent technologies

  • Helping to make Rightmove’s applications faster and more stable

  • Sharing your latest passion with the wider community

    We’re looking for someone who

  • Has strong problem solving skills

  • Likes to write code that explains itself

  • Promotes TDD and is passionate about delivering well tested quality solutions

  • Looks to share their knowledge with the rest of the team

  • Cares how their code performs in the real world

  • Asks questions and uses the experience of those around them

  • Likes to debate the merits of different coding solutions

  • Takes the initiative when they spot an opportunity for improvement

    We would love someone to have any of the following

  • Commercial experience of writing web applications with Java
  • Experience with JavaScript, particularly in building client-side applications

  • Good knowledge of Spring, Hibernate and SQL

  • Experience of iOS or Android development - we develop all our mobile apps in house

  • Agile development experience including estimating stories and short iterations

    Ultimately, we care much more about the person you are, how you think and approach things, than a list of qualifications and buzzwords on a CV. Even if you can’t say ‘yes’ to all of the above, but are smart, self- motivated and passionate about delivering great software, then get in touch.

    What do our software developers say they like about working here?

    “Good community to give help and guidance”, “Always thinking and talking about code quality”, “Working with and learning from great developers”, “We can be technically creative”, “Challenging work”, “Supportive and friendly team”, “Variety of work”, “Exposure to full technology stack”, “Working on a very high traffic website”, “The people make work fun”, “Friendly social environment, great people, flat structure”, “Learn new things every day”

    About us

    Rightmove is the great British web success story. We launched in 2000 and rapidly became the number one destination for UK property search.
    Rightmove is now the biggest home-grown web brand in the UK - in January 2013 our traffic levels were only surpassed by the global brands Facebook, Google, YouTube, eBay and Amazon. In March 2015 we saw our busiest month ever with over 115 million visits and 1.6 billion page views. This is a 19% increase in visits compared to March 2014.

    Despite this success, we remain a down-to-earth bunch. Our working culture is open, friendly and informal, with people from all areas of the business interacting freely.
    We want Rightmovers to be continuously developing themselves so we provide the support and opportunities for them to do that. Together we work towards the best outcome, both in terms of our technical solutions and continued business growth. We are always on the lookout for the best new people to join our team. If you are a smart and passionate initiative-taker then get in touch. You could be part of the next chapter of the Rightmove story! Will you be ‘Gnomed?’

    Did you know?

  • Rightmove was meant to be called 'Doorknob.' But it didn't quite have the same ring to it.

  • There have been eight weddings between Rightmove colleagues over the past 15 years.

  • In true Rightmove style you could actually fit all of our Rightmovers into 17 London Cabs, this is

    because we managed to squeeze 23 into a cab! True story!

  • We still have employee #1 working at Rightmove
