Starling is the UK's first and leading digital bank on a mission to fix banking! 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.
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.
Hybrid Working
We have a Hybrid approach to working here at Starling - our preference is that you're located within a commutable distance of one of our offices so that we're able to interact and collaborate in person. In Technology, we're asking that you attend the office a minimum of 1 day per week.
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 are looking for engineers at all levels to join the team. 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.
We have built our entire banking platform in house and mostly in Java. We are looking for people who want to work on building the tooling that is used by our engineers on a daily basis.
Requirements
We prioritize aptitude and attitude, seeking passionate software engineers who are self-driven in ambiguous situations and committed to crafting elegant solutions for complex technical challenges.
For the most part we code in Java, but you need not be an expert when you join us! Our entire banking platform is developed in-house, predominantly in Java, with a minimalistic approach to third-party software. We believe in simple solutions adhering to Clean Code principles that promote maintainable and extensible software, automated testing and Continuous Integration & Delivery.
Experience on distributed systems with a focus on resiliency and maintainability is highly valued. We're looking for engineers with at least 6+ years of experience.

It's a great opportunity to dive deep into the mechanics of banking, solving problems that directly affect customers and the bank's operational integrity.
Formed from 4 - 5 autonomous and highly driven teams, the group focuses on several key areas:
- Transaction Processing
- Interest Processing
- Treasury
- Accounting & Bank Ledgers
