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 recently welcomed Ember into the Starling family - an app for business owners that removes the burden of accounting and tax by taking care of it for them. Over the next 12 months, we're integrating Ember's best-in-class tools into the Starling ecosystem to provide a seamless, all-in-one financial solution from the first bank transaction through to the final tax submission. You can learn more about how we're helping our customers navigate Making Tax Digital and how your work on the Ember team will directly support this mission. We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the Ember team and help us build the robust backend systems and APIs that power these product experiences, while also contributing to fullstack development when needed. This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys writing high-quality code and contributing to reliable, well-observed systems in production. Our Engineering Environment 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 . We value people being engaged and caring about customers, caring about the code they write and the contribution they make to Starling. People with a broad ability to apply themselves to a multitude of problems and challenges, who can work across teams do great things here at Starling, to continue changing banking for good. Requirements Strong experience building backend systems and APIs in production environments. Experience writing software in TypeScript, Java. Proficiency with GCP and Terraform. A track record of owning work from initial design through to production support. Experience working cross-functionally with engineers, product owners, and designers to deliver valuable outcomes.

We're backend-focused but appreciate engineers who can work across the entire stack. What You'll Do You'll join one of our engineering squads, working closely with product managers and designers to solve real customer problems. As a Senior Software Engineer, you will: Own the design, implementation, and maintenance of backend services and product functionality. Contribute to the design of scalable, reliable systems with a strong focus on simplicity and maintainability. Build and improve services running in GCP, using Terraform to support infrastructure changes. Improve observability across our systems, including monitoring, alerting, and logging. Support high engineering standards through code review, technical discussion, and mentoring other engineers. Our Tech Stack We're open-minded when it comes to hiring. We care more about aptitude and attitude than specific qualifications. However, the Ember team primarily works with: Back End: Node.js, TypeScript, Java, PostgreSQL. Infrastructure: GCP, Terraform, Kubernetes, GitHub, CircleCI. Front End: React, Next.js, TypeScript. Testing: Jest, Playwright. Our Process Interviewing is a two-way process; we want you to get to know us as much as we get to know you. You can generally expect: Initial Chat: A short introductory call with a member of our Talent Team to discuss your background, what you're looking for in your next role, and all things Starling.
