Description

At Engine by Starling, 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.

Engine is Starling's software-as-a-service (SaaS) business, the technology that was built to power Starling Bank, and two years ago we split out as a separate business.

Starling Bank has seen exceptional growth and success, and a large part of that is down to the fact that we have built our own modern technology from the ground up.

This SaaS technology platform is now available to banks and financial institutions all around the world, enabling them to benefit from the innovative digital features, and efficient back-office processes that has helped achieve Starling's success.

We draw upon our experience as knowledgeable bankers, and best in class technologists to become the chosen option for these banks, and preferred partners for leading 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 future leaders to come and join our team, to build client relationships, and work with them to understand their needs and how we can solve them with Engine's technology.

Hybrid Working

We have a Hybrid approach to working here at Engine - 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.

We don't like to mandate how much you visit the office and work from home, that's to be agreed upon between you and your manager.

Some travel (including international) may be necessary depending on the client and nature of the engagement.

The team as a whole is responsible for ensuring Engine is designed to meet the needs of clients and their local markets, designing changes to improve our SaaS offering in ways which are useful across multiple clients.
