At Moneysupermarket our developers use their expertise and knowledge of building and maintaining large distributed systems to create blazingly fast and reliable experiences that delight our customers. They also use their passion to inspire everyone they work with to deliver a world class experience. We work collaboratively in full stack multi-disciplinary teams where everyone is expected to be hands on across all stages of development.

 

Our backends are a mix of Java Spring Boot and serverless AWS Lambda services using Node.js. We build our front end apps as single page applications in modern JavaScript frameworks, powered by our microservice architecture (mainly Java/Spring Boot). Our infrastructure is hosted in AWS, defined as code, containerised within Kubernetes, and we’re embracing serverless and other cloud native technologies. We share data through an event-driven system backed by Kafka. Our operational data stores are a combination of Mongo and AWS managed Relational Databases.
