Description

At Engine by Starling, we are on a mission to work with leading banks worldwide to build rapid growth businesses on our technology.

Engine is Starling's software-as-a-service (SaaS) business, the technology that powers Starling. Two years ago we split out as a separate business.

Starling has seen exceptional growth and success, largely due to our modern technology built from the ground up. This SaaS platform is now available to banks and financial institutions worldwide, enabling them to benefit from innovative digital features and efficient back‑office processes that have helped achieve Starling's success.

As an engineering‑led company, everyone is expected to roll up their sleeves to deliver great outcomes for our clients. We value people who are excited by the potential for Engine's technology to transform banking worldwide. Our purpose is underpinned by five values: Listen, Keep It Simple, Do The Right Thing, Own It, and Aim For Greatness.

Hybrid Working

We have a hybrid approach to working here at Engine. Our preference is that you are located within a commutable distance of our offices so that we can interact and collaborate in person.

About Engineering at Engine by Starling

We're looking for Backend Software Engineers to work on the Engine Platform and make our existing features work for banks worldwide, as well as build new features from scratch that Starling hasn't released in the UK market.

Engine engineers are excited about delivering new features, regardless of their primary tech stack. We encourage learning and collaboration across teams.

As an Engineer you will:

• Contribute to our award‑winning platform and internal tooling
• Build new features and products from scratch in a configurable way
• Share your knowledge with those around you, contributing to our learning culture
• Own your projects, working in small teams across the bank to collaboratively deliver
