Our first product makes it radically easier for anyone, anywhere, to launch & run an investment firm - think "Shopify for asset managers". We handle all the “plumbing” and paperwork through one seamless platform - everything from setting up the legal structure for an investment vehicle through to processing exits. We’re already trusted by over 10,000 VCs, angels and founders, and we're one of the fastest-growing fintechs in the UK, tripling income YoY. We've raised $3m in seed funding from top angels, family offices and VCs to support our own growth, and we are just getting started. The Role We’re hiring a Senior Software Engineer with a strong backend focus to join our team. This role is essential in driving innovation within our engineering team while maintaining the reliability and scalability of our systems. Reporting to Claire, our VP of Engineering you’ll: Build and deliver new features end-to-end, from concept to deployment, ensuring high quality and performance Drive major architectural and data model decisions, influencing the technical direction of our projects Shape and refine engineering processes to enhance development velocity, delivery quality, and the developer experience Balance innovation with maintaining legacy systems, iterating thoughtfully to solve real user problems Mentor peers through technical knowledge-sharing while prioritising delivering impactful work Work closely with Product and Engineering leadership to align technical decisions with business goals Play a key role in hiring, helping to identify and attract top technical talent Your Must-Have Qualities We value engineers who combine technical excellence, a proactive mindset, and strong collaboration skills. In this role, you’ll succeed if you demonstrate the following qualities: Product-Minded: You think about the “why” behind building things, empathising with users to deliver what they truly need. You care about outcomes over processes and understand the trade-offs involved in product development Ownership Mentality: You take responsibility for the success of the product and overall engineering goals, not just your specific area of focus. You embrace flexibility, contributing across the stack to drive impactful solutions Urgency with Focus: You know how to prioritise what matters most, focusing on high-impact work while avoiding distractions on less critical issues. You balance speed with thoughtful decision-making, ensuring sensitive systems like finance remain stable while iterating quickly elsewhere Creative Problem-Solving: You bring fresh ideas, challenge existing approaches, and balance creativity with practicality to deliver quality solutions Strong Communication: You excel at explaining complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and translating business needs into scalable, secure solutions Collaborative & Growth-Oriented: You value accountability, see feedback as a tool for growth, and actively contribute to a culture of shared knowledge and mutual respect Your Experience Must-Have: Proven expertise in backend development, including designing and operating highly available, scalable distributed systems.

React experience is a plus but not required This role isn’t the right fit if you: Struggle to adapt, learn quickly, or are unwilling to work across different parts of the stack. While the role has a strong backend focus, we need someone flexible enough to contribute wherever the need is greatest, ensuring the team’s overall success Focus excessively on processes at the expense of outcomes. While structure is helpful, delivering meaningful results for the business and users is our ultimate priority Fail to bring urgency to high-priority work. You should know how to prioritise effectively and act with purpose, ensuring the most critical work is tackled first without sacrificing quality Rely on big-company mindsets without understanding startup agility. This is a fast-paced, dynamic environment. You’ll need to thrive in ambiguity and adapt quickly, balancing speed and thoughtful decision-making Undermine team morale by avoiding accountability, dismissing feedback, or failing to collaborate effectively. We value humility, respect, and teamwork This is a backend-focused role. We don’t use the term “full-stack,” but we do value engineers who are comfortable jumping into the frontend when needed – whether it’s debugging an issue or shipping something simple to unblock the team The Hiring Process Interviews: Intro with Imani, our People & Talent Lead - Here, you’ll unpack the role, learn more about us, and she'll ensure you're the right fit for the position (30 mins) Interview with Claire, our VP of Engineering - Now that you're in the running, it's time to spend some time unpacking your experience with the hiring manager (1hr) Task: Tech Review with Lluis & Kieron, our Senior Engineering Team - Now that you're in the running, it's time to spend some time assessing your coding ability with our team (1hr) Live System Design Interview with our Senior Engineering Team (1hr) Final: Final Interviews with Mary & Paddy, our Founders – At this stage, we're genuinely excited and believe you should spend some time with the founders, learning more about each other and our values. (2 hrs) Before each interview, we'll prepare you for what to expect. Regardless of the outcome, once you’re in our process, we'll provide detailed feedback within 24 hours of the interview. Our process typically takes two weeks, sometimes shorter, or perhaps a bit longer; we'll accommodate your availability and are happy to make any hiring adjustments along the way. Your Location We operate as a remote-first team, and for this role, you can work remotely within Europe. If you’re based outside the UK, we can still hire you as a permanent full-time employee via an EOR (we use Deel). Working at Odin We encourage a balanced way of working. We’re a fast-growing startup building something very ambitious, and we expect you to work hard, and relish this challenge. However, we also offer flexibility, and we support your life outside of work so you can bring your best to the table. Our benefits include: Remote-First – Work from anywhere in the UK, with the flexibility to use our London office or co-working spaces when it suits you Health & Wellbeing – Private health insurance (Vitality), paid sick leave, and free access to Spill for mental health support Pa...
