Job Description
Who we are:
At TrueLayer, we’re building a global open banking platform that’s changing how money moves and so much more. We make payments and refunds instant, account data accessible and verification seamless — all so innovators in every industry can build better financial experiences for their users.

Our vision is a financial system that works for everyone. To make that happen, we’re creating original and innovative products that will remove the friction from finance for good. We’re seriously scaling our infrastructure, we’re entering new areas all the time, we’re cornering a whole new category — and we’d like your support to get us there.

- We want our engineers to grow with us. To have the opportunity, the guidance and the support to develop their technical and core skills to the fullest within the organisation.
What we expect from you, as a Software Engineer

- Collaborate with Product stakeholders and iterate fast on product development.
- Communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Help the rest of the team to deliver in fast and safe iteration cycles promoting design patterns, testing and automation.
- Advocate for operational readiness, help the team to maintain dashboards and alerting systems and eventually participate in the incident response process.
- Contribute to cross-team technology efforts by joining our engineering guilds.
- Align with our values and help make sure TrueLayer remains an exceptional place to work.
