Job description
Starling is the UK's first and leading digital bank on a mission to fix banking! We built a new kind of bank because we knew technology had the power to help people save, spend and manage their money in a new and transformative way.
We’re a fully licensed UK bank with the culture and spirit of a fast‑moving, disruptive tech company. We’re a bank, but better: fairer, easier to use and designed to demystify money for everyone. We employ more than 3,000 people across our London, Southampton, Cardiff and Manchester offices.
Our technologists are at the very heart of Starling and enjoy working in a fast‑paced environment that is all about building things, creating new stuff, and disruptive technology that keeps us on the cutting edge of fintech. We operate a flat structure to empower you to make decisions regardless of what your primary responsibilities may be. Innovation and collaboration will be at the core of everything you do. Help is never far away in our open culture; you will find support in your team and from across the business, we are in this together!
The way to thrive and shine within Starling is to be a self‑driven individual and be able to take full ownership of everything around you: from building things, designing, discovering, to sharing knowledge with your colleagues and making sure all processes are efficient and productive to deliver the best possible results for our customers. Our purpose is underpinned by five Starling values: Listen, Keep It Simple, Do The Right Thing, Own It, and Aim For Greatness.
We have a hybrid approach to working here at Starling – our preference is that you’re located within a commutable distance of one of our offices so that we’re able to interact and collaborate in person.
Starling engineers are excited about helping us deliver new features, regardless of what their primary tech stack may be. Hear from the team in our latest blogs or our case studies with Women in Tech.
As a Cloud Security Engineer at Starling, you’ll be building and supporting tooling and infrastructure that spans across AWS and GCP, supporting our internal operations and interfacing with other teams to deliver the services that support our business.
- Taking ownership of projects and ensuring timely delivery
- Keeping abreast of new technologies and changes in the industry
- Working with and reviewing code from other teams

- Experience with certificate management
- Experience with Infrastructure as Code
- System architecture and design
- Experience with ECS and/or Kubernetes
- Experience with developing clean and highly maintainable code (ideally in Golang), creating and improving existing infrastructure services and tooling
- Knowledge about cryptography
Are you looking to make a big impact in a small team? Join our Security Engineering team, a diverse and dynamic group passionate about building secure and resilient systems. We’re enthusiastic about security, but we’re not about rigid, one‑size‑fits‑all controls. We believe in striking a balance between protecting our systems and empowering our developers to build and innovate. Our goal is to make security a seamless part of the development lifecycle, not a roadblock. If you are someone who thrives in a collaborative environment and is excited about finding innovative security solutions, we would love to hear from you.
