Thought Machine’s mission is bold - to properly and permanently rid the world’s banks of legacy technology. To achieve this, we have developed the foundations of modern banking through core and payments technology which run natively in the cloud. What we are attempting is hard and means we need great people working together to build great technology.
We have grown rapidly in the past few years - growing our team to more than 550 individuals across offices in London, New York, Singapore and Sydney.

We have created a culture enabling our team to produce the best work in the industry, ensuring we have fun along the way. We're regularly cited as having a fantastic workplace culture and have been recognised by Sifted magazine as having one of the highest Glassdoor ratings for a UK fintech company and the most generous employee share package in the industry. Global Finance Magazine named us one of the world’s most innovative fintechs, and the Financial Times recognised us as one of Europe’s fastest-growing companies in 2023.
At Thought Machine, our Infrastructure Engineers play a crucial role in deploying and maintaining our cutting-edge software, developing tools and integration with product to be used for production environments. The role spans across building tools for self-hosted clients and product integration to automate and streamline deployment processes, to working on the infrastructure slice of the product in our data and streaming platforms among other things. We build tools to provide an intuitive and reliable user experience to operate and integrate with Vault for Thought Machine engineers and bank SREs.
