## Description

We're Zopa, a bank that's redefining what it feels like to work in finance. Our vision puts people front and centre, empowering everyone to aim high every day.

As a Senior Java/Kotlin Software Engineer, you'll work on distributed systems processing thousands of transactions daily, build resilient services that handle people's money, and create experiences that make complex financial products feel simple.

- You're an advocate of test-driven development or behaviour-driven development

- You've worked on large-scale distributed software systems with proven scalability and complex topologies

- You enjoy talking to key stakeholders and understanding business objectives

- You're a team player who thrives in an honest and friendly working atmosphere

**Your toolkit:**

- Kotlin, Kafka, Kubernetes, Docker, AWS Aurora Postgres, and other modern technologies

- 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

**Additional Information:** At Zopa, we value flexible ways of working. 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!
