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. Our goal is to become one of the largest financial services providers in the world.

You will manage and execute ambiguous technical solutions with appropriate sense of urgency to deliver impact to the business.

Job requirements: We are looking for someone with 8+ years of software engineering experience and 2+ years of experience as a Technical Lead. Strong experience with developing and scaling complex microservices systems is essential. Previous experience with identifying, analysing, and resolving system availability, reliability, and performance issues is required. Strong expertise in any OO language, preferably in Java, is necessary.

Benefits: Flexible working options including 3 days a week in our new collaborative London office, a competitive bonus scheme, flexible benefits budget of £50 per month, personal budget for books and training courses, mental wellbeing support, private health care, medical cash plan, tech scheme, 33 days holiday (including bank holidays), pension, cycle to work scheme, monthly team socials and company-wide socials every month.
