LondonEngineering - Cards Engineering /Employee - Permanent /HybridOur StoryHello there. We started our journey back in 2005, building the first ever peer-to-peer lending company. Fast forward to 2020 and we launched Zopa Bank. A bank that listens to what our customers don’t like about finance and does the opposite. We’re redefining what it feels like to work in finance. Our vision for a new era of banking puts people front and centre — we’ve built a business that empowers everyone to aim high, every day, to move finance forward. Follow us on Instagram @zopalifeThe engineering challengeYou will design and evolve the services that power core banking products. The systems you help build process thousands of financial transactions every day. But this role goes beyond implementation. You will help decide not just how we build, but what we build and why. We’re growing across several of our product-engineering tribes at Zopa, with current opportunities in Current Accounts, Lending, Credit Cards and Product Enablement. We care deeply about great engineering, which is why our core stack is Kotlin, running on a modern platform with Kafka, Kubernetes, Docker and AWS Aurora Postgres. But great engineers aren’t defined by a single language which is why we are agnostic with our hiring.We want the right people, not the 'right' language, so if you come from a C#/.NET background, bring solid fundamentals, and have an appetite for learning something new, we’ll invest in you, help you grow your skills and confidently step into our Kotlin ecosystem.Owning complex initiatives end to end, from idea to measurable outcome Designing scalable backend systems that stand up to real-world scale and complexity Making architectural decisions that balance immediate delivery with long-term sustainability Bringing structure and clarity to ambiguous problems Influencing prioritisation and trade-offs across teams Raising the bar for engineering quality, reliability and accountability Mentoring engineers and strengthening overall team capability Driving continuous improvement in how we build and operate systemsYour toolkit:You'll work with C#, Kafka, Kubernetes, Docker, AWS Aurora Postgres, and other modern technologies.

This hybrid role requires you to come to our London office 2-3 days a week.Diversity of experience, perspectives, and backgrounds leads to better products for our customers and a unique company culture for our people. Our approach to AI in interviewsAt Zopa, AI isn't something we're testing out — it's part of how we work every day. As a proud partner of Jobs 2030, we're committed to building AI fluency across our workforce, and we expect Zopians to use AI as part of how they do their jobs. Because of that, we want to be transparent about how we think about AI use during our hiring process. Behavioural and competency-based interviews: please don't use AI. An AI-generated answer can't tell us that. Some technical stages actively welcome AI use, others don't. Your Talent Partner will let you know what's expected at each stage. Where AI is part of the assessment, we'll be interested not just in the outcome, but in how you used it - the tools you chose, your reasoning, and the decisions you made along the way.
