Leading business lending platform
I'm partnered with one of the UK's most successful fin-tech scale-ups who have built a platform helping businesses access more than £15 billion in funding.
They've recently launched a new product line which has become the company's highest-growth area, with its own dedicated leadership and road map.
They're now hiring a Principal Software Engineer to become the technical lead across two core engineering teams working in the card and credit space. This is a critical hands-on IC role driving architecture, mentoring senior engineers, and setting the engineering direction for one of the most commercially important product areas in the business.

- Lead architectural decisions for a high-volume, low-latency backend platform
- Work closely with senior product, platform and engineering stakeholders to define technical direction
- Mentor Lead and Senior Engineers, driving engineering excellence and fostering a high-performance culture
- Play a key role in the migration from legacy technologies to a fully Python-based modern stack
- Bring much-needed domain expertise in cards and credit to a high-growth area with a greenfield mindset
What they're looking for...
- Strong engineering background with deep experience in backend systems (Python preferred, Ruby/Java/Clojure/Go also considered)
- Experience working on card-based products - ideally credit, but debit or prepaid also considered
- Strong architectural and system design skills
What's in it for you...
- Bonus at approximately 15% (with potential to earn up to 22%)
- Annual stock grant
- Dedicated annual learning budget
- Private medical and dental insurance
- Broad range of benefits including enhanced Paternity/Maternity cover
- Hybrid working - 2 days/week in their London office (no fixed days)
- Be part of a high-ownership role with real scope to shape the success of a growing product
