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.

Your impact:

You love shipping great products, not just writing superb code

As an Engineer, you’re interested in the problem, not just the requirements

You feel comfortable in a fast-moving environment and are ambitious about the speed and quality of your code. We ship our code multiple times a week with the impact measured in the result for the customer, not lines of code

An advocate of test-driven development or, even better, behaviour-driven development. A strong commitment to quality is essential

You've worked on large scale distributed software systems that have proven scalability and complex topologies

Enjoy talking to key stakeholders and understand and show passion for the business objectives of the company

You are comfortable with a fair bit of uncertainty, fast change, and love solving hard problems collaboratively

You are a team player who thrives working in an honest and friendly working atmosphere. We have a flat hierarchy and give you the opportunity to make a real impact

Your toolkit:

You'll work with Kotlin, Kafka, Kubernetes, Docker, AWS Aurora Postgres, and other modern technologies. If you haven't worked with all of these, we value skilled engineers with a willingness to learn.

A product-focused engineering mindset

Experience building distributed systems at scale

Test-driven development practices

Comfort operating in uncertainty and rapid change

Collaborative problem-solving skills

Our engineering culture:

Customer impact over unnecessary complexity

Team success over individual heroics

Operational ownership, not just feature delivery

Continuous improvement through honest feedback

Added bonus:

Experience with fintech or banking is a plus, but we value problem-solvers from all backgrounds

*Subject to having the right to work in the country of choice
