Our financial strength underpins our ambition. In 2023, Moneycorp reported record earnings with a revenue of £223.5 million and an EBITDA of £78 million, achieving a trading volume of £71 billion.

At Moneycorp, we believe in excellence, accountability, and entrepreneurial thinking, ensuring we continuously evolve to meet the needs of our customers and the wider financial ecosystem.

Technology at Moneycorp

We’re on a journey to transform how we build and deliver technology—moving from a traditional project-based approach to a product-led, Dev Ops-empowered mindset. We’re embracing automation, event-driven architecture, and AI to build the financial ecosystem of the future.

We’re evolving towards:

• A Cloud-Native, Dev Ops-First Culture – Moving towards a fully cloud-hosted, automated platform built with
• Kubernetes, Kafka, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC).
• A Real-Time Financial Ecosystem – Shifting from data at rest to data in motion, embracing event-driven architecture to power the real-time economy.
• AI & Data-Driven Decision Making – Establishing AI Incubator & Labs teams to explore how AI can enhance payments, fraud detection, and customer experiences.
• The Greenfield US Bank Initiative – Building a new event-streamed bank from the ground up, leveraging the latest in bank-grade platform infrastructure.

This is an ongoing transformation, and we’re looking for individuals who want to shape and contribute to this journey. People who thrive here are comfortable with change, practical in their approach, and adapt quickly. They’re strong communicators, skilled technologists, and unafraid to pivot when needed.

Along with modernisation, you’ll also be working on new features rollout in the existing system or new projects.

• Coaching and mentoring a team of 2-4 engineers.
• Modernising and containerising existing applications for Azure deployment.
• Build new cloud native event driven applications.
• Ensuring applications are cloud-ready without unnecessary functionality rewrites.
• Evaluating and implementing the right .NET framework version for each application.

Essential:

• Strong experience with .NET 6–8 and C#.
• Deep understanding of SQL and relational databases.
• Experience with Azure (or AWS) and cloud-based architectures.
