Are you looking to take on a new C++ coding challenge? Do you want to work from home with flexible working hours? Would you like to work at the forefront of financial technology? Hope Macy is a leading fintech company growing its development team. We are an authorised payment institution and credit reference agency with the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and provide financial solutions for ethical lending and money management. All our developers work from home and have flexible working hours. We're building technology that makes financial services simpler, smarter, and more connected. Our team is always looking for better ways to solve problems and create value for our clients. It's an exciting space to work in, with plenty of opportunities to shape products that make a real difference.

- Maintain and extend C++ Lambda services for Open Banking
- Build and improve React/TypeScript frontends
- Develop Python microservices and tooling
- Write and maintain AWS CDK infrastructure (Python)
- Ensure AL/ML services are reliably deployed and scaled across environments
- Participate in the full deployment lifecycle: develop, test, deploy across AWS accounts
