Senior Software Engineer | Mission-led Fintech - Hybrid London

Here's the thing. If you're a Senior Software Engineer who wants serious impact without the ego-fest, this will probably speak to you.

I'm partnering with a fast-growing fintech that helps millions manage how they earn, save, and spend from one simple app. Backed by top VC and impact investors. Real users. Real outcomes. I've seen a lot of roles, and this one stands out because the mission isn't a veneer. It runs through product, data, and engineering decisions day to day.

Why this is worth your time

  • Work that matters. You'll ship features that improve financial wellbeing for people who actually need it.
  • Scale that tests your thinking. Millions of active users, real traffic spikes, and data you can do something with.
  • Proper ownership. Fast cycles, low ceremony, and room to shape architecture while mentoring others.

What you'll work with as a Staff Software Engineer

  • Stack: Python, TypeScript, React, Svelte, PostgreSQL, Snowflake, AWS.
  • Setup: Cross-functional squads that care about outcomes, not ticket-ticking.
  • You'll improve scalability, evolve architecture, and still ship. I like that balance. Less pontificating, more building.

What you'll do

  • Design and build reliable, scalable systems that hold up under load.
  • Lead on architecture decisions. Pick the right pattern for the problem.
  • Mentor engineers. Model high-quality code and thoughtful reviews.
  • Ship usable product. Measure impact. Iterate quickly.

What you'll bring

  • Senior level experience building distributed systems at scale.
  • Strong technical depth across backend and either frontend or data.
  • Pragmatic problem solving. You know when to go simple and when to go deep.
  • A genuine interest in tech that helps people. I think that matters here.

Package and ways of working

  • Strong base salary plus equity
  • Hybrid, 3 days per week in the London office
  • 25 days annual leave, enhanced parental benefits, private healthcare
  • Sabbatical and volunteering leave
  • Tax-efficient pension and flexible benefits schemes
