Senior Software Engineer - C#

You will design and evolve the services that power core banking products.

The systems you help build process thousands of financial transactions every day.

They must be scalable, resilient and secure.

When money moves, it has to work.

Every time.

But this role goes beyond implementation.

You will shape technical direction.

Influence cross-team initiatives.

Own complex, high-impact work from concept through to production.

You will help decide not just how we build, but what we build and why.

This is senior in impact, not just title.

We’re growing across several of our product-engineering tribes at Zopa, with current opportunities in Current Accounts, Lending, Credit Cards and Product Enablement .

We’ll support your transition and cross-training into a JVM/Kotlin environment.

What matters most to us is how you think, how you approach problem-solving, and the scale and impact of what you’ve built.

• Customer impact over unnecessary complexity
• Team success over individual heroics
• Operational ownership, not just feature delivery
• Continuous improvement through honest feedback
• Experience with fintech or banking is a plus, but we value problem-solvers from all backgrounds
