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.

Drive adoption and education: Promote the platform's capabilities by creating clear documentation (with the help of our technical writers), providing training and guidance to our internal teams. Define and Measure Success: Establish and track key technical and business metrics like API latency, developer satisfaction, integration time, and platform adoption rates to ensure our strategy is impactful. Ensure security and compliance: Collaborate with security and compliance teams to embed best practices and meet all regulatory requirements. Requirements A deep, hands-on understanding of how modern, distributed systems are built at scale. You should be able to articulate the trade-offs of different architectural decisions and speak fluently about REST APIs, webhooks, event-driven architecture, and asynchronous communication patterns.

Ideally, you've been a part of a team that has scaled a platform from a foundational stage to a widely adopted product. The ability to simplify and provide clarity on complex, architectural problems to a wide range of stakeholders, from junior engineers to executive leadership. Experience in making evidence-based product decisions using both qualitative and quantitative data, specifically within a technical product context. A proven ability to act as a voice for the user and influence teams and stakeholders without direct authority, particularly in engineering-led environments.
