## Description

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

## Additional Information

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!
