Building the world's best cloud banking business
Overview

Joining Engine by Starling now will give you the opportunity to join an exciting company at the early stages of its journey and shape it from within.

Engine is the technology that was built to power Starling bank, and a year ago we split out as a separate business.

In that time, Engine has made great strides in the market, and we are quickly becoming front of mind for ambitious banks, and forward thinking consultancies.

We are on a mission to find and work with leading banks all around the world who have the ambition to build rapid growth businesses, on our technology.

We are looking for leaders to come and join our team, to find and cultivate new clients, and work with them to understand their needs and how we can solve them with Engine's technology.
