About the Starling Group

We are Starling. We started by building a new kind of bank because we knew technology had the power to transform how people save, spend, and manage their money. Today, our ambition and our footprint have grown.

Our ecosystem encompasses our pioneering, fully licensed UK bank (Starling), our global Software-as-a-Service technology platform (Engine by Starling), alongside a growing portfolio of specialist financial and software businesses.

While our roots are in the UK, our operations are expanding globally. Though you may be based in one of our international offices (such as Sydney or Toronto), this role is critical to the entire Starling Group. The work you do will support, empower, and protect our businesses worldwide.

Our technologists are at the very heart of Starling and enjoy working in a fast-paced environment that is all about building things, creating new stuff, and leveraging disruptive technology that keeps us on the cutting edge of fintech. We operate a flat structure to enable you to make decisions regardless of your location or primary responsibilities; innovation and collaboration will be at the core of everything you do. Help is never far away in our open, borderless culture - you will find support in your team and from across the global business. We are in this together!

The way to thrive and shine within Starling is to be a self-driven individual and take full ownership of everything around you: from building, discovering, and solving complex problems, to sharing knowledge with your international colleagues to ensure all processes are efficient and productive. Our purpose across all our businesses is underpinned by five Starling values: Listen, Keep It Simple, Do The Right Thing, Own It, and Aim For Greatness.
