Senior Software Engineer - Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom - Allica Bank

Description

Allica is on a mission to become Britain's most recommended business bank by providing established SMEs – who represent more than a third of the UK GDP – with lending, savings and current accounts, delivered through the latest proprietary technology alongside expert human relationships.

In Deloitte's annual Technology Fast 50 rankings, Allica is the UK's fastest-growing technology firm - and the fastest-growing financial technology (fintech) firm ever.

In 2022, Allica became one of the quickest UK fintech firms to reach profitability and closed a £100m Series C investment led by leading global technology investor TCV – investors in the likes of Netflix, Revolut and Spotify.

In the last year, Allica received more than ten major financial services industry awards, including being named UK Business Bank of the Year and global SME neobank of the Year, alongside being named as one of the world's 100 most promising fintech companies by leading global technology research firm CB Insights.

Firstly, it's our people who are positive and passionate about making things happen, deeply care about our purpose and our customers, and are open-minded and curious about finding practical ways to solve challenges.

In our most recent employee survey, 92% of our colleagues said that they enjoy working for Allica, and 88% recommend us as a place to work.

Alongside survey responses describing our culture as rewarding, energetic and collaborative, you'll also hear words like challenging and fast-paced.
Secondly is our purpose which is to help established SMEs, one of the last underserved opportunities in fintech.

Established SMEs are the backbone of local communities - representing over a third of our economy - yet have been largely neglected both by traditional high street banks and modern fintech providers.

You will be playing a key role as we continue to build a bank dedicated to established SMEs at what is a crucial time for them.

At Allica, we're building an industry-leading digital business bank. Our technology team sits at the very heart of the organisation.
