We get money into our customers’ hands in minutes instead of days.We’re growing fast, and there’s a lot more to do: we’re going after the two biggest Western markets (UK and US) where trillions worth of financial products are held by big banks with dated systems and painful processes.Join us if you want toTake ownership across a broad remit.

You will improve the developer experience and improve our throughput. You’ll see instant impact with your work and participate in a highly collaborative environment.We need someone who takes full ownership — not just writing code, but thinking through the problem, designing the solution, shipping it, and making sure it keeps working.

We have a vision of how we can accelerate the engineering process with AI and you’ll be working with this group to complete the plan. We will also experiment and adapt the plan as new AI tooling and approaches emerge.We value shipping and learning over perfection. The goal is always to deliver something useful, learn from how it's used, and improve. You won't be directly client-facing, but your work will directly impact colleagues across the business — and you'll hear about it when something you built makes their day easier.Why join?See your work make a difference This isn't a team where your code disappears into a monolith. You'll build something on Monday and see it saving someone time by Friday. Every integration and tool you ship has a direct line to engineering efficiency.High leverage A small core team means your contributions have outsized impact. No layers, fast decisions, real ownership.Build new things We're building a platform from the ground up, not maintaining legacy systems.
