  • Experience in fintech, core banking, or regulated financial services environments.
  • Open to occasional travel to London.

Requirements

  • Proactive: You take ownership and move things forward without waiting to be asked.

  • Confident presenting: you bring a polished, engaged attitude to working sessions and stakeholder interactions.
  • Focused on quality: you care about doing things properly and hold yourself to a high standard.
  • Pragmatic: you make sensible trade-offs and deliver results in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.
  • A creative problem solver: you approach hard engineering challenges with curiosity and ingenuity.
  • Collaborative: you thrive on working within cross-functional, distributed teams and value others' input.

Benefits

  • The chance to work with a forward-thinking, ethical, and fun group of people and to develop and grow your skills in a fast-moving business.
