As a Software Engineer, you'll play a key role in evolving our systems managing the information about our customers, which is central to all our customer activity. You'll work closely with talented colleagues to understand and enhance our ability to reduce friction for customers both new and existing.

What we're looking for:

• Excellent communication skills, both written and spoken.
• An interest (or experience) in Distributed Systems or Event-Driven Architectures (using Apache Kafka).
• Knowledge on data management (e.g. ETLs, data lakes) would be a bonus but not essential.
