At Engine by Starling, we are on a mission to find and work with leading banks all around the world who have the ambition to build rapid growth businesses, on our technology.

Engine is Starling's software-as-a-service (SaaS) business, the technology that was built to power Starling, and two years ago we split out as a separate business.

Starling has seen exceptional growth and success, and a large part of that is down to the fact that we have built our own modern technology from the ground up. This SaaS technology platform is now available to banks and financial institutions all around the world, enabling them to benefit from the innovative digital features, and efficient back-office processes that has helped achieve Starling's success.

As a company, everyone is expected to roll up their sleeves to help deliver great outcomes for our clients. We are an engineering led company and we're looking for people who will be excited by the potential for Engine's technology to transform banking in different markets around the world. Our purpose is underpinned by five values:
Listen, Keep It Simple, Do The Right Thing, Own It, and Aim For Greatness.

We have a Hybrid approach to working here at Engine - our preference is that you're located within a commutable distance of our offices so that we're able to interact and collaborate in person.

We’re looking for iOS Engineers to work on the Engine Platform and make our existing features work for banks all over the world as well as building new features from scratch that Starling hasn’t released in the UK market.

  UI like layout code for UIKit
• Realm - as the application main persistence layer;
• Sourcery and Swift Gen - for various code generation tasks
• Swift Format, Swift Lint and Danger - to enforce high code quality standards
