The posting

Join Our Mission to Transform Banking

Starling Bank is the UK’s first and leading digital bank on a mission to fix banking with more than 3,000 people in our UK offices and 4 million customers in the UK! 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. Now we present… Engine by Starling.

At Engine by Starling we're not just building software - we're revolutionising the global banking industry. As Starling's software-as-a-service (SaaS) business, we provide the cutting-edge technology that powered Starling's success to banks and financial institutions all over the world.

We’re searching for passionate and curious Graduate Software Engineers to join our growing team in Sydney. This isn't your average graduate role; you'll get hands-on experience working on real-world problems from day one. You’ll learn and grow on the job, building new features from scratch, and helping us deliver amazing outcomes for our global clients.

What You’ll Do

  • Build & Innovate: Contribute to our award-winning platform and internal tools. You'll build new features and products in a configurable way, helping to change banking for good.
  • Collaborate: Work in small, collaborative teams across the company to own and deliver projects.
  • Learn & Grow: Share your knowledge and stay curious and inquisitive, contributing to our learning culture.
  • Own It: Take ownership of your projects and apply yourself to a multitude of problems and challenges.

  • Tools: Docker, Kubernetes, TeamCity, and Amazon Web Services (AWS)

Interview Journey

Our interviews are a two-way conversation - it's as much about you getting to know us as it is about us getting to know you. We want you to be curious and ask questions!

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.
