We pair program to work better through shared experience and knowledge.Focus on outcomes over outputs - Solving a problem for users that translates to business results is our goal. Measurements focused on that goal help us to understand if we are succeeding.Practice continuous improvement - We optimise for feedback now, rather than presume what might be needed in the future and introduce complexity before it will be used. This means we learn faster. We share learnings in blame-free formats, so that we do not repeat things that have failed, but still have confidence to innovate.Seek to understand our users - We constantly seek understanding from data and conversations to better serve our users' needs, taking an active part in research to hear from them directly and regularly.Embrace and enable continuous deployment - Seamless delivery of changes into an environment - without manual intervention - is essential for us to ensure that we are highly productive; consider resiliency; and practice security by design.Test outside-in, test first - TDD keeps us confident in moving fast, and deploying regularly.

Every engineer, regardless of their role, has the opportunity to lead delivery of features from start to finish.Be cloud native - We leverage automation and hosted services to deliver resilient, secure services quickly and consistently. Where SaaS tools help us achieve more productivity and better quality results for a cheap price, we use these to automate low value tasks.How we expect you to behaveWe embrace difference and know that when we can be ourselves at work, we are happier, more motivated and creative.

There's no fixed requirement for days in the office, instead, we focus on creating space for engineers to engage meaningfully, whether that's in-person for whiteboarding sessions or remote for deep focus work.Work-life balance - 25 days holiday (plus bank holidays) each year, and enhanced family leave allowances.Competitive salary & equity - We want people to have a serious stake in the business.Good kit - Your choice of the best laptop, running macOS or Ubuntu.Team socials - The opportunity to get to know each other outside of work.Company socials - A chance to catch up and meet new colleagues weekly over informal office breakfasts and dinners on OakNorth - or at our free barista bar every day.Commuter support - We offer the cycle to work & EV scheme.About UsWe're OakNorth Bank and we embolden entrepreneurs to realise their ambitions, understand their markets, and apply data intelligence to everyday decisions to scale successfully at pace.

In 2005, when our founders tried to get capital for their data analytics company, the computer said 'no'. Unfortunately, all major banks in the UK were using the same computer - and it was broken. Why was it so difficult for a profitable business with impressive cashflow, retained clients, and clear commercial success to get a loan? The industry was backward-looking and too focused on historic financials, rather than future potential. So, what if there was a bank, founded by entrepreneurs, for entrepreneurs? One that offered a dramatically better borrowing experience for businesses? No more what ifs, OakNorth Bank exists.For more information regarding our Privacy Policy and practices, please visit: https://oaknorth.co.uk/legal/privacy-notice/employees-and-visitors/We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
