The engineering challenge
Our Software Engineers don't just write code, they solve real financial problems for millions of customers. You'll work on distributed systems processing thousands of transactions daily, build resilient services that handle people's money, and create experiences that make traditionally complex financial products feel simple.
Your Impact

• You will focus on shipping great products, not just writing superb code
• Design and build modern, reliable, scalable microservices
• Own your services end-to-end, from conception to production monitoring
• Collaborate directly with product, design and data experts to shape solutions

Your Toolkit

• You'll work with Kotlin, Kafka, Kubernetes, Docker, AWS Aurora Postgres, and other modern technologies. If you haven't worked with all of these, we value skilled engineers with a willingness to learn.
• A product-focused engineering mindset
• Experience building distributed systems at scale
• Test-driven development practices
• Comfort operating in uncertainty and rapid change
• Collaborative problem-solving skills

Our Engineering Culture

• Customer impact over unnecessary complexity
• Team success over individual heroics
• Operational ownership, not just feature delivery
• Continuous improvement through honest feedback

Added Bonus

• Experience with fintech or banking is a plus, but we value problem-solvers from all backgrounds

We're on the move!
Towards the end of 2025 Zopa will be relocating to a brand-new headquarters at 20 Water Street in Canary Wharf. The 44,000 square foot workspace will foster collaboration and inspire creativity for our 900 employees amidst our 2025 growth blitz.
At Zopa we value flexible ways of working.
We value face-to-face collaboration and a good work-life balance. This hybrid role requires you to come to our London office 2-3 days a week.
You'll also have the option of working from abroad for up to 120 days a year!* But no matter where you are, we’ll make sure you’ve got everything you need to thrive, both in your work and home life, from day one.

• Subject to having the right to work in the country of choice

Diversity Statement
