Description At Engine by Starling, we are on a mission to find and work with leading banks all around the world who have the ambition to build rapid growth businesses, on our technology. Engine is the technology that was built to power Starling Bank, and a year ago we split out as a separate business. In that time, Engine has made great strides in the market, and we are quickly becoming front of mind for ambitious banks, and forward thinking consultancies. We draw upon our experience as knowledgeable bankers, and best in class technologists to become the chosen option for these banks, and preferred partners for leading consultancies. As a company, everyone is expected to roll up their sleeves to help deliver great outcomes for our clients. We are an engineering led company and we're looking for someone who will be excited by the potential for Engine's technology to transform banking in different markets around the world. Our technologists are at the very heart of Engine and enjoy working in a fast-paced environment that is all about building things, creating new stuff, and disruptive technology that keeps us on the cutting edge of fintech. We operate a flat structure to empower you to make decisions regardless of what your primary responsibilities may be, innovation and collaboration will be at the core of everything you do. Help is never far away in our open culture, you will find support in your team and from across the business, we are in this together! The way to thrive and shine within Engine is to be a self-driven individual and be able to take full ownership of everything around you: From building things, designing, and discovering to sharing knowledge with your colleagues and making sure all processes are efficient and productive to deliver the best possible results for our customers. Our purpose is underpinned by five values: Listen, Keep It Simple, Do The Right Thing, Own It, and Aim For Greatness. Hybrid Working We have a Hybrid approach to working here at Engine - our preference is that you're located within a commutable distance of our offices so that we're able to interact and collaborate in person. We don't like to mandate how much you visit the office and work from home, that's to be agreed upon between you and your manager. About Engineering at Engine by Starling Engine by Starling engineers are excited about helping us take our award winning banking platform to countries all over the world, regardless of what their primary tech stack may be. Hear from the team in our latest Blogs or our case studies with Women in Tech. We are looking for engineers at all levels to join the team. We value people being engaged and caring about customers, caring about the code they write and the contribution they make to banking worldwide. People with a broad ability to apply themselves to a multitude of problems and challenges, who can work across teams do great things here at Engine, to continue changing banking for good. As an Engineer you will: Contribute to our award winning Android app and internal tooling Build new features and products from scratch in a configurable way Share your knowledge with those around you, contributing to our learning culture Own your projects, working in small teams across the bank to collaboratively deliver Aim for greatness in everything you do, staying curious and inquisitive Be part of a scaling team and organisation as we change banking for good You are empowered to make the decisions necessary for the project and to provide insight to the team leads. You'll also be working closely with other Android engineers with a variety of experience levels and interests, helping us improve and develop our Android app, CI automations and tooling. You'll be committing, reviewing and shipping new code right from the first week! Requirements As an Android engineer, you'll report to and catch-up regularly with a mobile lead engineer who will support you on your journey in Engine. We have a strong collaborative and open culture here so you'll find support outside your team too. As a fully digital bank, we are looking for engineers that are able to understand and prioritise security when implementing new features, fixing bugs or making technical improvements, across all the layers. Our team is designing, building and releasing new screens every day, for this reason we are interested in people with a particular focus on Accessibility along with writing clean and maintainable code. The way to thrive and shine within Engine is to be a self-driven individual and be able to take full ownership of everything around you: From building the code, shipping and maintaining it, to sharing knowledge with your colleagues and making sure all processes are efficient and productive to deliver the best possible results for our customers. Our aim is to deliver stable, resilient and high quality code, that is why testing is another key quality we look for when expanding our team. We use Espresso to write our UI/E2E Test and JUnit to write our Unit Tests across all layers of the application, as well as manually test all features before they go into production. We also work closely with QA engineers to ensure we have an additional level of testing when working on complex feature delivery. The Android world In the Engine Android project we are proud to be working with some of the latest technologies in the industry. When adopting new technologies we always consider as a team whether it's the best choice for our product and our users. We are currently in the process of building a number of SDKs for our clients utilising the modules we've already created in the Starling UK App. We'll be using these to support the development of an app in Romania with SaltBank and build an entirely new banking app for one of our partners in Australia called AMP Bank, a really exciting opportunity! In the Engine SDKs we generally aim to use the latest technology as our clients would expect, but, we also rely heavily on the existing Starling codebase which uses some older libraries too, so you'll need a good understanding of a wide range of libraries and technologies. We use Dagger, Realm, Retrofit, Coil, Compose, Coroutines and Compose, but there's still a lot of work to do migrating from XML layouts and RxJava2. Building SDKs that we plan to launch internationally can present some new challenges, so if you've ever had experience maintaining a library, contributing to OSS, or have dealt with Internationalisation we'd love to hear about it. If that's all new to you, don't worry, we're learning too! We want our app to look great for the Android platform and have worked closely with our designers to set up a component library and have themed our app accordingly. Feature parity is important to us so Android and iOS apps are often built alongside each other. As a team we meet together every week to talk through pain points and potential improvements we'll like to make to the project. We regularly meet in real life to attend conferences and meet-ups together too! Interview process Interviewing is a two way process and we want you to have the time and opportunity to get to know us, as much as we are getting to know you! Our interviews are conversational and we want to get the best from you, so come with questions and be curious. In general you can expect the below, following a chat with one of our Talent Team: First interview: 45 minutes Take home technical test (no time limit) Technical face to face: 1.5 hours Final Interview: 45 minutes Benefits 33 days holiday (including public holidays, which you can take when it works best for you) An extra day's holiday for your birthday Annual leave is increased with length of service, and you can choose to buy or sell up to five extra days off 16 hours paid volunteering time a year Salary sacrifice, company enhanced pension scheme Life insurance at 4x your salary & group income protection Private Medical Insurance with VitalityHealth including mental health support and cancer care.

Description At Engine by Starling, we are on a mission to find and work with leading banks all around the world who have the ambition to build rapid growth businesses, on our technology. Engine is the technology that was built to power Starling Bank, and a year ago we split out as a separate business. In that time, Engine has made great strides in the market, and we are quickly becoming front of mind for ambitious banks, and forward thinking consultancies. We draw upon our experience as knowledgeable bankers, and best in class technologists to become the chosen option for these banks, and preferred partners for leading consultancies. As a company, everyone is expected to roll up their sleeves to help deliver great outcomes for our clients. We are an engineering led company and we're looking for someone who will be excited by the potential for Engine's technology to transform banking in different markets around the world. Our technologists are at the very heart of Engine and enjoy working in a fast-paced environment that is all about building things, creating new stuff, and disruptive technology that keeps us on the cutting edge of fintech. We operate a flat structure to empower you to make decisions regardless of what your primary responsibilities may be, innovation and collaboration will be at the core of everything you do. Help is never far away in our open culture, you will find support in your team and from across the business, we are in this together! The way to thrive and shine within Engine is to be a self-driven individual and be able to take full ownership of everything around you: From building things, designing, and discovering to sharing knowledge with your colleagues and making sure all processes are efficient and productive to deliver the best possible results for our customers. Our purpose is underpinned by five values: Listen, Keep It Simple, Do The Right Thing, Own It, and Aim For Greatness. Hybrid Working We have a Hybrid approach to working here at Engine - our preference is that you're located within a commutable distance of our offices so that we're able to interact and collaborate in person. We don't like to mandate how much you visit the office and work from home, that's to be agreed upon between you and your manager. About Engineering at Engine by Starling Engine by Starling engineers are excited about helping us take our award winning banking platform to countries all over the world, regardless of what their primary tech stack may be. Hear from the team in our latest Blogs or our case studies with Women in Tech. We are looking for engineers at all levels to join the team. We value people being engaged and caring about customers, caring about the code they write and the contribution they make to banking worldwide. People with a broad ability to apply themselves to a multitude of problems and challenges, who can work across teams do great things here at Engine, to continue changing banking for good. As an Engineer you will: Contribute to our award winning Android app and internal tooling Build new features and products from scratch in a configurable way Share your knowledge with those around you, contributing to our learning culture Own your projects, working in small teams across the bank to collaboratively deliver Aim for greatness in everything you do, staying curious and inquisitive Be part of a scaling team and organisation as we change banking for good You are empowered to make the decisions necessary for the project and to provide insight to the team leads. You'll also be working closely with other Android engineers with a variety of experience levels and interests, helping us improve and develop our Android app, CI automations and tooling. You'll be committing, reviewing and shipping new code right from the first week! Requirements As an Android engineer, you'll report to and catch-up regularly with a mobile lead engineer who will support you on your journey in Engine. We have a strong collaborative and open culture here so you'll find support outside your team too. As a fully digital bank, we are looking for engineers that are able to understand and prioritise security when implementing new features, fixing bugs or making technical improvements, across all the layers. Our team is designing, building and releasing new screens every day, for this reason we are interested in people with a particular focus on Accessibility along with writing clean and maintainable code. The way to thrive and shine within Engine is to be a self-driven individual and be able to take full ownership of everything around you: From building the code, shipping and maintaining it, to sharing knowledge with your colleagues and making sure all processes are efficient and productive to deliver the best possible results for our customers. Our aim is to deliver stable, resilient and high quality code, that is why testing is another key quality we look for when expanding our team. We use Espresso to write our UI/E2E Test and JUnit to write our Unit Tests across all layers of the application, as well as manually test all features before they go into production. We also work closely with QA engineers to ensure we have an additional level of testing when working on complex feature delivery. The Android world In the Engine Android project we are proud to be working with some of the latest technologies in the industry. When adopting new technologies we always consider as a team whether it's the best choice for our product and our users. We are currently in the process of building a number of SDKs for our clients utilising the modules we've already created in the Starling UK App. We'll be using these to support the development of an app in Romania with SaltBank and build an entirely new banking app for one of our partners in Australia called AMP Bank, a really exciting opportunity! In the Engine SDKs we generally aim to use the latest technology as our clients would expect, but, we also rely heavily on the existing Starling codebase which uses some older libraries too, so you'll need a good understanding of a wide range of libraries and technologies. We use Dagger, Realm, Retrofit, Coil, Compose, Coroutines and Compose, but there's still a lot of work to do migrating from XML layouts and RxJava2. Building SDKs that we plan to launch internationally can present some new challenges, so if you've ever had experience maintaining a library, contributing to OSS, or have dealt with Internationalisation we'd love to hear about it. If that's all new to you, don't worry, we're learning too! We want our app to look great for the Android platform and have worked closely with our designers to set up a component library and have themed our app accordingly. Feature parity is important to us so Android and iOS apps are often built alongside each other. As a team we meet together every week to talk through pain points and potential improvements we'll like to make to the project. We regularly meet in real life to attend conferences and meet-ups together too! Interview process Interviewing is a two way process and we want you to have the time and opportunity to get to know us, as much as we are getting to know you! Our interviews are conversational and we want to get the best from you, so come with questions and be curious.
