The Role
We are seeking an exceptional Senior Software Engineer to join our Communications Platform team in London. As a Senior Engineer, you will take ownership of large, mission-critical services, products, and platforms from day one—deploying production code within your first week.
We identify and nurture future technical leaders, offering an accelerated career progression path for engineers who demonstrate exceptional performance and aptitude.
What You’ll Do
Architect & Build: Design, develop, test, and deploy high-quality, scalable software solutions for our global financial communications platform.

Technical Leadership: Lead architectural design reviews and technical discussions to shape the future of our tech stack and standardize communication patterns in a centralized architecture.
Engineering Excellence: Drive high standards through rigorous code reviews, automated testing, and CI/CD best practices.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with product managers, designers, and engineering teams to deliver robust features.
AI Integration: Leverage modern AI tools to augment your workflow and accelerate delivery, taking full ownership and understanding of the code you deploy.
What We’re Looking For
Qualifications & Experience
Technical Experience: Demonstrable track record writing production-grade code (typically around 7+ years of experience, but competency, aptitude, and impact matter more to us than years).
Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience).
Core Fundamentals: Deep understanding of computer science principles, including data structures, algorithms, system design, and complexity analysis.
Polyglot Engineering: Strong programming proficiency in at least one modern language (e.g., Python, Java, Go).
Problem-Solving & Communication: Analytical mindset with strong communication skills and a highly collaborative approach to teamwork.
Nice-to-Haves / Desirable
Experience in FinTech or financial services.
Experience building scalable distributed systems integrated with communications providers (e.g., Twilio, SendGrid, Amazon SNS, Vonage, WhatsApp, Firebase).
Knowledge of domain-specific topics such as Sender ID verification, email reputation management, and intelligent message routing.
Exposure to Domain-Driven Design (DDD).
Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).
Open-source contributions or a personal portfolio showcasing technical curiosity.
What We Offer
Competitive Compensation: Market-leading salary, performance-based bonus, and comprehensive benefits package.
Accelerated Growth: Structured career development path with dedicated mentorship from senior technical leaders.
High Impact: Opportunity to own complex, mission-critical projects that drive real business impact from day one.
