Zopa

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 team   We’re on a mission to take our mobile app to the next level, and we’re looking for someone to help shape the future of our Android experience in Kotlin. Joining the Mobile Platform team, you’ll work on the technical foundations that power the app — from architecture and shared libraries to core experiences, build systems, and analytics infrastructure.    Our team plays a key role in driving innovation across Zopa’s mobile community and shaping the future of our mobile technology. As Zopa continues its ambition to become Britain’s best bank, the mobile app remains our most important customer touchpoint. Following the launch of the Zopa Account — a high-touch, mass-market product — we’re making a significant investment in creating an app experience that is performant, reliable, and delightful to use.   While the app today is built with React Native, we are expanding our native capabilities in Swift and Kotlin and are transforming the Android experience with a move toward a more fully native approach. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of that journey!

Marshmallow

We’re on a mission to make migration easy. We started building Marshmallow in 2017. Since then, we’ve grown from 3 to 700+ people, gained unicorn status, raised ~£140M over three funding rounds, turned profitable, insured millions of drivers and lent millions in car loans. But we’re only just getting started. Our goal is to become one of the largest financial services providers in the world. Over the next 10 years we’ll grow exponentially, not only by scaling our existing products, but also by building new ones. To achieve our goals we need incredibly ambitious, commercially driven people who never settle for ‘good enough’. Marshmallowers are hungry for autonomy and ownership, and would rather improve than coast. Everyone raises standards and has an impact, with a focus on collective success over self-interest. We’ve created an environment where curious, tenacious people win and grow together. If that sounds motivating, this could be the place for you. (HYBRID - 3 DAYS A WEEK IN OUR LONDON OFFICE) ENGINEERING AT MARSHMALLOW Our engineers are at the heart of the solutions. They work on product builds from start to finish, solving lots of challenges to help us build fast, and scale up! Our engineers cover a range of skills across frontend, backend, full stack, iOS and Android, and work alongside designers, data scientists, researchers and product managers within our product teams. Our product teams include: the Renewals team, Telematics team and the Claims team (to name a few!) Each team sets its own roadmap and QBRs, and actively pushes our codebase forward.
