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 focus on achieving specific outcomes and teams are empowered to do what’s necessary to deliver them. In their jobs everyone gets the chance to determine priorities and own interesting things from day one - this is what makes us different.
When it comes to hiring, we focus on aptitude and attitude rather than specific experience or qualifications. We encourage our people to try new things and experiment, creating a culture of innovation which differentiates us from others. The work we do here is shaping the future.

As a Starling engineer, I work on projects that directly impact the user experience of our customers, as well as how they manage their money and interact with their bank. What I really love is the freedom and responsibility to manage my own projects and time. I feel trusted and empowered to prioritise tasks, and I am learning new things all the time."
Josh, Engineering Lead
Working in small cross-functional teams means we can work on multiple projects concurrently, deliver quickly, reduce technical debt and share knowledge & expertise."
