Acre is rebuilding the UK’s £1.4 trillion mortgage market from the ground up, with a completely new, end-to-end management system for mortgages.
Our platform cuts out the unnecessary admin, pain and friction from buying a home. We're covering the entire journey, from figuring out what you can borrow, to getting your keys. We're guided both by the voice of real home buyers and by our close relationships with brokers, lenders and insurers.
After a record-breaking 2023 with a 400% year-on-year increase in mortgage volume, we have continued our momentum by doubling our market share in 2024. As we go into 2025, we are continuing to onboard some huge names in the mortgage industry and are looking to expand our team.
Join our Engineering team to help us change the way people buy homes.
The role:
We are looking for a Graduate DevOps Engineer that wants to help ensure our platform for homebuying is always available and secure. Your role will be to work closely with the broader team to help ensure our CI pipelines are smooth, efficient, and ensure quality; our production environment is performant, stable and secure; and we have an exceptional degree of insight and transparency into our operational environment.
Your approach to the role should be that no task is done twice.
What you’ll be doing:
As a key member of the engineering team you will be responsible for the implementation and testing of non-functional aspects of our platform such as security, performance and scaling that delivers our product to users, keeps it secure and helps us understand its performance in the real world.
You will be involved in our full software development life cycle; you will be expected to quickly switch between tasks and work with the frontend and backend engineering teams to ensure they are able to efficiently deliver software while meeting our software quality and security benchmarks.
Who you will be:
Passionate about software engineering and about delivering a quality product.
Curious about new and evolving technologies. Enjoys tinkering with systems and networks.
Have an awareness of technologies such as Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform & Ansible.
Have an awareness of information security principles, particular with respect to environment hardening.
Have an understanding of implementing monitoring and logging for security, operational and application performance management.
Have an understanding of CI.
Preferably have knowledge of at least one programming/scripting language.
What we offer:
A chance to make an impact within a high growth Fintech start-up
Monthly team social events, from trips to Brighton to Picnics in the park
One week of free accommodation for those relocating
25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
Opportunity to earn equity through our EMI option scheme
Company laptop and supporting tech
Private healthcare and a cash plan
Pension contribution matched by Acre up to 4%
Cycle to work scheme
Breakfast, snacks and drinks provided in our vibrant Shoreditch office
We’re looking for people that will get stuck in and make a difference. We have a great collaborative, entrepreneurial team that are passionate about what they do. If you want to join a team that is tackling a big problem space, then we’d love to hear from you.
We’re eager to receive applications from all backgrounds, including from people of colour, the LGBTQ+ community, people with disabilities, neurodivergent people, parents, carers, and people from lower socio-economic backgrounds. If there’s anything we can do to accommodate your specific situation, please let us know.
About the Company
Acre is transforming the way we buy property. Getting a mortgage is a huge decision, but it's also a huge pain. We're changing the way brokers, banks, and insurers manage your information to allow a faster and more transparent process for everyone involved. Know more
