Hybrid Working 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. About Engineering at Engine by Starling 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. Engine by Starling engineers are excited about helping us deliver new features, regardless of what their primary tech stack may be. We are looking for engineers at all levels to join the team. We value people being engaged and caring about customers, caring about the code they write and the contribution they can make to banking around the world. People with a broad ability to apply themselves to a multitude of problems and challenges, who can work across teams do great things here at Engine, to continue changing banking for good. As an Engineer you will: Contribute to our award winning platform and internal tooling Build new features and products from scratch in a configurable way Share your knowledge with those around you, contributing to our learning culture Own your projects, working in small teams across the bank to collaboratively deliver Aim for greatness in everything you do, staying curious and inquisitive Be part of a scaling team and organisation as we change banking for good Requirements Our iOS application is entirely written in Swift. It is highly modular and we use MVVM-C architecture to maximise code reusability and testing. We also value simplicity over complexity, fewer moving parts means fewer faults and easier comprehension. Some of the well known frameworks and tools we use: RxSwift - as our reactive programming framework; SnapKit - as our auto layout DSL, though we have an in-house framework built on top of SnapKit which allows us to write declarative, SwiftUI like layout code for UIKit. Realm - as the application main persistence layer; Sourcery and SwiftGen - for various code generation tasks. SwiftFormat, SwiftLint and Danger - to enforce high code quality standards. Etc. We also built in-house tools and frameworks as developer productivity and automation is paramount to us. We are looking for iOS engineers to work on these apps who: Want to work on a feature rich mobile app with millions of customers; Can produce robust, well tested code that will give our customers the reliability that they need; Care about the product, the user experience and the design; Think (like us) that a small number of empowered developers is the right way to deliver software; Our application is built with UIKit, knowing its concepts and components is a must. We use RxSwift in our project, experience with reactive programming will be a plus but is not required.

Platform Engineer GCP / AWS Docker & Kubernetes Terraform Linux Stockport - Hybrid working (2 days per week onsite) Up to 70,000 + 10,000 On-Call Allowance + Benefits A well-established tech company in Stockport is looking for an experienced Platform Engineer to join their team. They've recently completed a large-scale migration from their traditional data centre into Google Cloud Platform and are now looking for someone to help them improve, maintain and develop their cloud infrastructure. You'll be joining a small and experienced Platform team, working closely with their Software Engineers to make sure their systems are secure, reliable and performing well. This is a genuinely hands-on role, with a good mixture of modern cloud technologies alongside traditional infrastructure and troubleshooting. They're not looking for someone to come in and architect an entirely new cloud platform from scratch. The migration to GCP has already happened, so the focus now is on incremental improvements - improving automation, monitoring and reliability, refactoring where necessary and making the platform easier for their development teams to work with. They work with a modern infrastructure stack including GCP, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, FluxCD and GitHub, alongside a predominantly Linux-based environment. You'll ideally have experience with most of the following: Strong Linux infrastructure and troubleshooting skills Docker and containerised environments Kubernetes Terraform / Infrastructure as Code Monitoring, logging and troubleshooting production systems Cloud platforms - ideally GCP or AWS CI/CD and deployment tooling Previous GCP experience would obviously be useful, but it isn't essential. They're very open to someone coming from a strong AWS background who understands cloud infrastructure and has solid experience with Docker, Kubernetes and Terraform. More than anything, they're looking for someone who understands the technologies they work with rather than simply having exposure to them. You should enjoy troubleshooting problems, digging through logs and understanding why something isn't working. The company has a really good culture and people tend to stick around for a long time. They're independently owned, have a relatively small technology team and have created a collaborative environment where the Platform and Software teams work closely together. They've also recently purchased their own office in central Stockport, which is currently being renovated into a new purpose-built space for the team. They support hybrid working, with everyone getting together in the office on Wednesdays and Thursdays. There is also the opportunity to join their paid on-call rota once you're comfortable with the environment. This adds around 10,000 per year to the package, alongside additional days off. In return, they can offer: Salary up to 70,000 Circa 10,000 additional on-call allowance 35-hour working week Flexible working around core hours Hybrid working - 2 days per week in Stockport 25 days holiday + bank holidays Additional holiday for those participating in on-call Matched pension up to 5% Private healthcare / healthcare cash plan Regular team lunches, socials and company events This would be a great opportunity for an experienced Platform, DevOps, Cloud or Infrastructure Engineer who enjoys being hands-on and wants to work across modern cloud technologies without losing the troubleshooting and infrastructure side of the job. Interested? Apply now or get in touch for more information - even if you don't have a CV ready, we're happy to chat. Cathcart Technology is acting as an Employment Agency in relation to this vacancy.
