Backend Java Engineer, Remote/London/Southampton

Like a lot of technology companies, we are mostly working remotely at Starling and we think we will be
for a while to come. We're open to applications from across the UK but our preference is that you're
located within a commutable distance to either our London or Southampton office.

Description:

We are very open about how we deliver software - have a look at our QCon presentations or
engineering podcasts to see what our developers have been up to. You can also try coding against
your own bank account with us using our open APIs (see the developer site).

Starling engineers love building things, creating new stuff, learning new technologies and working
with others across all areas of the business to bring brilliant products and features to life. We’re open-
minded when it comes to hiring and we care more about aptitude and attitude than specific
experience or qualifications. If you care enough to find elegant solutions to difficult technical
problems, we’d love to hear from you.

Requirements:

• We have built our entire banking platform in house from scratch since 2016 and mostly in
Java. We are looking for people who want to work on that platform and take it to new
products and markets and the next level of scale (tens of millions). We’re looking for people
who:
• Love coding. Java is ideal but we think people can transfer between languages too;
• Believe in clean coding, simple solutions, automated testing and continuous deployment;
• Like to take ownership of a feature from the original idea through to live;
• Think (like us) that a small number of empowered developers is the right way to deliver
software.

Benefits

• 33 days holiday (including public hols). You’ll also get your birthday on us
• 16 hours paid volunteering time a year
• Generous parental leave
• Private Medical Insurance with VitalityHealth
• Contributory pension scheme
• We have many varied social groups set up and run by our employees - ForTheWin (a gaming
group), Starling FC, book club and many more!
• Discounts on cinema tickets, restaurants, shopping and train tickets via a Perkbox
membership
• Access to ‘salary sacrifice’ benefits such as Cycle to Work scheme
• Gym membership options
• Full details are available on our careers site
