Android Engineer - Engine

At Engine by Starling, we are on a mission to find and work with leading banks all around the world who have the ambition to build rapid growth businesses on our technology.

Engine is Starling's software‑as‑a‑service (SaaS) business, the technology that was built to power Starling, and a year ago we split out as a separate business.

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 have helped achieve Starling's success.

Our technologists are at the very heart of Engine 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 what your primary responsibilities may be; innovation and collaboration will be 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 Engine is to be a self‑driven individual and be able to take full ownership of everything around you: from building things, designing, discovering to sharing knowledge with your colleagues and making sure all processes are efficient and productive to deliver the best possible results for our customers. Our purpose is underpinned by five values:
Listen, Keep It Simple, Do The Right Thing, Own It, and Aim For Greatness.

We have a hybrid approach to working here at Engine – our preference is that you are located within a commutable distance of our offices so that we can interact and collaborate in person.
