– Startup of London Team

The Role

Like a lot of technology companies, we are mostly working remotely at Starling and we think we will be for a while to come. We’re open to applications from across the UK. Still, our preference is that you’re located within a commutable distance of either our London or Southampton office, so that when we’re able to see each other and collaborate in person again, we’re ready to go!

Starling engineers love building things, creating new stuff, learning new technologies, and working with others across all areas of the business to bring brilliant products and features to life. We’re open-minded when it comes to hiring and we care more about aptitude and attitude than specific experience or qualifications. If you care enough to find elegant solutions to difficult technical problems, we’d love to hear from you.

Requirements

We are looking for truly full-stack people, who are as comfortable polishing their javascript front end as they are debugging the innards of their java applications database interactions, or tweaking their CloudFormation templates. We are looking for people who can:

Design REST APIs.

Code backend services, ideally using Java or another other server-side compiled language.

Develop modern front ends, ideally using React and Redux.

Get their code into the cloud and support it there, ideally on AWS.

Believe in clean coding, simple solutions, automated testing, and continuous deployment.

Like taking ownership of a feature from the original idea through to life.

Think (like us) that a small number of empowered developers is the right way to deliver software.

Benefits

• 33 days holiday (including public hols). You’ll also get your birthday on us
• 16 hours of paid volunteering time a year
• Private Medical Insurance with VitalityHealth
• Contributory pension scheme
• We have many varied social groups set up and run by our employees – ForTheWin (a gaming group), Starling FC, book club, and many more!
• Discounts on cinema tickets, restaurants, shopping and train tickets via a Perkbox membership
• Access to ‘salary sacrifice’ benefits such as Cycle to Work scheme
• Gym membership options
