What will you be working on?

  • Design and build features end-to-end across our pricing services.

Technical Excellence

  • Strong background in software engineering, with a track record of contributing significantly to large, impactful projects in a complex production domain.
  • Experience with Java or similar OOP language.
  • Expert in your technical discipline, with the ability to design for long-term iteration and scale.
  • You own the availability, reliability and security of the systems you build following engineering best practises.
  • You make sensible trade-offs between speed, scalability and risk, and optimise for a predictable, regular cadence of delivery.

Ownership & Product Mindset

  • You own the technical roadmap and deliverables of your projects end-to-end, embracing long-term ownership .
  • You can always explain why something is being built, what customer problem it's solving, and what impact is expected.
  • You take a leading role in incident resolution and post-incident review for both minor and major incidents.
  • Experience engaging with product, compliance and stakeholder teams to shape requirements and priorities.

Collaboration, Communication & Growth

  • Clear communication with both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • You give and receive feedback well, and contribute to a supportive environment that helps the team grow.
  • You mentor and coach other engineers, and own the onboarding of new joiners into the team.
  • You promote a culture of collaboration that minimises duplicate or wasted work, and pull other teams in the right direction.

Nice to haves

  • Experience in payments, fintech, or another related domain.
  • Prior experience working on a team with a global, distributed setup.
  • Experience with systems that involve compliance, audit, or regulatory requirements (SOX, fee disclosure, tax).
  • Familiarity with configuration-heavy domains where business logic is encoded in data as well as code.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
