About Company
Starling is the UK's first and leading digital bank on a mission to fix banking! We built a new kind of bank because we knew technology had the power to help people save, spend and manage their money in a new and transformative way.
We're a fully licensed UK bank with the culture and spirit of a fast‑moving, disruptive tech company. We employ more than 3,000 people across our London, Southampton, Cardiff, and Manchester offices.
Our technologists are at the very heart of Starling and enjoy working in a fast‑paced environment that is all about building things, creating new stuff, and disruptive technology that keeps us on the cutting edge of fintech. We operate a flat structure to empower you to make decisions regardless of your primary responsibilities, and innovation and collaboration are at the core of everything you do. Help is never far away in our open culture; you will find support in your team and from across the business, we are in this together.
The way to thrive and shine within Starling is to be a self‑driven individual and take full ownership of everything around you, from building and designing to sharing knowledge and ensuring efficient processes that deliver the best possible results for our customers. Our purpose is underpinned by five Starling values: Listen, Keep It Simple, Do The Right Thing, Own It, and Aim For Greatness.
Hybrid Working
We have a hybrid approach to working at Starling. Our preference is that you are located within a commutable distance of one of our offices so that we can collaborate in person.
Our Data Environment
The Data teams are aligned to divisions covering Banking Services & Products, Customer Identity & Financial Crime and Data & ML Engineering. They deliver meaningful and impactful insights to both the business and more importantly our customers.
About the Role

As a software engineer you will work with other engineers and data scientists to design, implement and maintain features that use machine learning models under the hood. This could mean creating a brand‑new ML‑powered feature from scratch or seamlessly integrating a new model into our core banking platform. You may design robust infrastructure and pipelines or discover a completely new approach to a complex problem.
We empower engineers to take ownership and drive solutions from ideation to launch. You will have the autonomy to shape your own path, identify challenges, and collaborate across teams to deliver impactful solutions across technologies.

- Stage 3 – 90‑minute technical interview with two team members.
- Stage 4 – 45‑minute final interview with two executives.
