Job Specifications
Hello, we're Starling - a fully licensed UK bank with the culture and spirit of a fast-moving, disruptive tech company. We're on a mission to fix banking, and give people a new way to spend, save and manage their money. Our journey started in 2014, and since then we have surpassed 4.2 million accounts (and four account types!) with 350,000 business customers. We employ more than 3,000 people across our London, Southampton, Cardiff and Manchester offices.
We're looking for a Front End Engineer to join a well-established team using the very latest web technologies. You'll be working closely with other front end engineers as well as Java engineers, all with varying interests and levels of experience. Expect to be committing, reviewing and merging code right from week one.
The tech stack for this project includes Remix, the server-side React framework, and our codebase is written in TypeScript. We're using Vanilla Extract for styling paired with React Aria primitives. We write tests with React Testing Library and Jest, as well as Playwright. Finally, we deploy to Kubernetes in production, running on Amazon Web Services.
Our technologists are at the very heart of Starling and enjoy working in a fast-paced environment that revolves around building, creating, and disrupting to keep us on the cutting edge of the industry. Innovation and collaboration will be at the core of everything you do. We operate a flat working structure to empower you to make decisions regardless of what your primary responsibilities may be. Help is never far away either and you will find support in your team and from across the business - we are in this together!
The way to thrive and shine within Starling is to be a self-driven individual and be able to take full ownership of everything around you: from contributing code 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 Starling values: Listen, Keep It Simple, Do The Right Thing, Own It, and Aim For Greatness.
Hybrid Working
We have a Hybrid approach to working here at Starling - our preference is that you're located within a commutable distance of one of our offices so that we're able to interact and collaborate in person.
Our Engineering Environment
Starling engineers are excited about helping us deliver new features, regardless of what their primary tech stack may be. Hear from the team in our latest blogs or our case studies with Women in Tech.
We value people being engaged and caring about customers, caring about the code they write and the contribution they make to Starling. People with a broad ability to apply themselves to a multitude of problems and challenges, who can work across teams do great things here at Starling, to continue changing banking for good.
Requirements
1-5 years of front end engineering experience.
An affinity for HTML, CSS, JavaScript and modern web standards.
A proven track record of building accessible and secure web applications that consume RESTful APIs and perform well.
Belief in clean coding, simple solutions, automated testing and continuous deployment.
A desire to take ownership of features from inception all the way through to launch.
Think, like us, that a small number of empowered developers is the right way to deliver software.
Our process:
Interviewing is a two way process and we want you to have the time and opportunity to get to know us, as much as we are getting to know you! Our interviews are conversational and we want to get the best from you, so come with questions and be curious. In general you can expect the below, following a chat with one of our Talent Team:
Initial phone call - ~45 minutes
Take home technical test (no time limit)
Technical interview - ~1.5 hours
Final Interview - ~45 minutes
Benefits
25 days holiday (plus take your public holiday allowance whenever works best for you)
An extra day's holiday for your birthday
Annual leave is increased with length of service, and you can choose to buy or sell up to five extra days off
16 hours paid volunteering time a year
Salary sacrifice, company enhanced pension scheme
Life insurance at 4x your salary & group income protection
Private Medical Insurance with VitalityHealth including mental health support and cancer care. Partner benefits include discounts with Waitrose, Mr&Mrs Smith and Peloton
