Overview

At Engine by Starling, we are on a mission to find and work with leading banks around the world who have the ambition to build rapid growth businesses, on our technology. Engine is Starling's software-as-a-service (SaaS) business, built to power Starling, and split out as a separate business two years ago. Our SaaS technology platform is available to banks and financial institutions worldwide, enabling innovative digital features and efficient back-office processes that have contributed to Starling's success.

We are an engineering-led company. We value people who are excited by the potential for Engine’s technology to transform banking in different markets. Our purpose is underpinned by five values: Listen, Keep It Simple, Do The Right Thing, Own It, and Aim For Greatness. We support a hybrid working approach and prefer candidates located within a commutable distance to our offices for in-person collaboration.
