CreateFuture is an AI-native consulting partner where people do work that matters and are supported to do it well. We work side by
side with our clients, challenging what’s not working and helping them to build the future.
We work alongside organisations such as PayPal, adidas, NatWest, FanDuel, and Money Saving Expert, building digital products and
services that make a difference while always putting people first. Our commitment to craft, quality, and culture has helped us
scale to over 600 people in just a few years.
We are seeking an experienced Senior Engineer with a strong background in .NET, AWS, and modern AI-assisted engineering practices
to join a team delivering and modernising a broad range of business-critical applications and services. This role combines
hands-on software engineering with technical leadership responsibilities, helping drive engineering quality, platform improvement,
and modern development practices across a varied .NET landscape.
The successful candidate will work across a diverse technology stack that includes legacy .NET Framework applications, WCF and WPF
services, alongside modern applications being developed on the latest versions of .NET through to .NET 10. You will play a key
role in building scalable cloud-native solutions, improving existing systems, and helping shape engineering standards and delivery
practices.
This role requires someone comfortable operating within challenging technical environments, able to work closely with engineering
teams and stakeholders to simplify, improve, and evolve existing services. Strong communication and stakeholder management skills

Our Story Hello there. We’re Zopa. We started our journey back in 2005, building the first ever peer-to-peer lending company. Fast forward to 2020 and we launched Zopa Bank. A bank that listens to what our customers don’t like about finance and does the opposite. We’re redefining what it feels like to work in finance. Our vision for a new era of banking puts people front and centre — we’ve built a business that empowers everyone to aim high, every day, to move finance forward. Find out more about our fantastic offerings at Zopa.com! We’re incredibly proud of our achievements and none of it would be possible without the amazing team here. It’s not just industry awards we’re winning, we’ve also been named in the top three UK’s Most Loved Workplaces. If you embrace unconventional challenges, are unafraid to think differently and are driven to make an outsized impact, you’ll thrive here at Zopa, so join us, and make it count. Want to see us in action? Follow us on Instagram @zopalife The Engineering Challenge Our Software Engineers don't just write code, they solve real financial problems for millions of customers. You'll work on distributed systems processing thousands of transactions daily, build resilient services that handle people's money, and create experiences that make traditionally complex financial products feel simple. We care deeply about great engineering, which is why our core stack is Kotlin, running on a modern platform with Kafka, Kubernetes, Docker and AWS Aurora Postgres. But great engineers aren’t defined by a single language which is why we are agnostic with our hiring. We want the right people, not the 'right' language, so if you come from a C#/.NET background, bring solid fundamentals, and have an appetite for learning something new, we’ll invest in you, help you grow your skills and confidently step into our Kotlin ecosystem.
Are you ready to shape the future of data? Matillion is the company behind Maia, the AI Data Automation platform. In the AI economy, demand for data is exploding. Manual data engineering can’t keep up. Maia fixes that by combining 15 years of data expertise with agentic AI to eliminate the manual work that slows data teams down. Organisations like Cisco, DocuSign, and Slack are already using it to deliver real business impact, faster. We started in Manchester and now we’re global - with teams across the UK, US and India. We are driven, curious, energetic people who move fast, think big and hold ourselves to a high standard. We’re here to make a dent in the universe bigger than ourselves. And we’re looking for people who want to be part of it. Matillion is built around small development teams with responsibility for specific themes and initiatives. Each team is a mix of engineers with various levels of skills and experience. The Senior Software Engineer works within a team to write, test, and release new features and fix problems in the Matillion products, all while innovating on new ideas. We value in-person collaboration here at Matillion, therefore this role follows our hybrid work structure where Matillioners work 2 days a week in our Manchester. The rest of the week you are welcome to work from the office, or remotely if you’d prefer.

And we’re looking for people who want to be part of it. About the role As a Senior Staff Software Engineer on our Maia team, you'll be at the heart of everything we do: working on agentic AI systems, building new tools and integrations, and staying finger-on-the-pulse with the latest developments in Gen AI. This isn't BAU engineering - this is high-visibility, high-impact work where your decisions shape the product. You'll be driving architecture, mentoring engineers, and feeding into strategy. Things move quickly here. Requirements evolve, new opportunities emerge, and we need someone who thrives in that environment. If you're an expert Java engineer and already experimenting with Claude, Gemini, and agentic workflows - and you want to do that at scale in a world-class engineering team - this is the role for you. This role is hybrid to our Manchester office. We value collaboration and believe the best work happens when we're together -so we ask for a minimum of 2 days per week in the office. It's not just about attendance; it's about building the relationships and culture that make great engineering possible.
