Hello. We’re Housekeep, one of Europe’s fastest growing businesses. We make housework work.
What we do
We find customers brilliant local cleaners. We make the whole process seamless - from click to clean to cashless payment. And we make it easier for cleaners to find work and make money. It’s smart, it’s stress-free, it’s housework that works.
We're growing fast and have big plans
Housekeep is the UK’s biggest technology platform connecting clients and cleaners in the £5 billion house cleaning market. We make it easy for customers to book, manage & pay their cleaner online and have created the best place for cleaners to find work.
Although we’re a young business, we’re already the UK’s biggest technology platform in the £5 billion home cleaning market. And we’re growing fast. But we don’t want to stop there. We're now expanding into new services and new cities - right across the UK. And one day we want to ‘own the home’. Doing everything from cleaning to gardening to fixing wonky shelves.
We’re proud of the many awards we’ve won - but it’s our customers’ feedback that really counts.
Our work has been recognised by 40 plus awards. And we’re especially proud to have been named as one of Europe’s fastest-growing businesses by the Financial Times three years in a row. But it’s our customers’ feedback that really counts. We’re really pleased to have over 800,000 reviews with an average rating of 4.9 stars.
We haven't built this position by luck. We've delivered this by being smarter than anyone else, by building innovative tech and by making the right decisions on repeat. And that’s where you come in.
Why we need you
Disrupting the home cleaning market throws up a lot of hard problems: real-time scheduling, job-allocation, routing and messaging to coordinate thousands of daily home visits. And all this complexity has to be presented to our cleaners, customers and operations staff with beautiful, intuitive user interfaces.
Our ambitions are much bigger than winning in a single vertical. We've built a platform from which we can not only tackle the £5 billion home cleaning market, but from which we can also address the £10 billion commercial cleaning and £40 billion tradespeople markets. We have already made promising starts in each of these new markets, and we plan to scale up our tech team with the very best engineers to supercharge our growth.
We are looking for a bright, driven, full-stack Software Engineer who is excited about solving complex problems and building scalable platforms.
