About
Engine is Starling's software-as-a-service (SaaS) business, the technology that was built to power Starling, and two years ago we split out as a separate business.
Starling has seen exceptional growth and success, and a large part of that is down to the fact that we have built our own modern technology from the ground up. This SaaS technology platform is now available to banks and financial institutions all around the world, enabling them to benefit from the innovative digital features, and efficient back‑office processes that have helped achieve Starling's success.
As a company, everyone is expected to roll up their sleeves to help deliver great outcomes for our clients. We are an engineering‑led company and we're looking for people who will be excited by the potential for Engine's technology to transform banking in different markets around the world.

Requirements
Have at least 5 years of experience as a professional front‑end engineer
Will have experience with HTML5, CSS, JavaScript and know React very well
Demonstrate experience building accessible websites and secure web applications that consume RESTful APIs and perform well
Love coding in front‑end technologies – from navigating REST APIs to tweaking that last bit of CSS to get the design system just right
Believe in clean coding, simple solutions, automated testing and continuous deployment
Like to take ownership of features from the original idea through to live
Think (like us) that a small number of empowered developers is the right way to deliver software
The main part of our Frontend Tech Stack is listed below, we don’t ask that you have experience in all of this, but if you do, that’s great!
HTML/CSS/JS (and increasingly TypeScript, too) with React used pretty much everywhere
Associated libraries and frameworks like Next.JS, Gatsby, Redux, React Query and more
Design system management (Storybooks are fairly common, little bit of CSS‑in‑JS, too)
Testing tools like Jest and React Testing Library for the most part
We also stray into infrastructure work from time to time, using tools like AWS API Gateway, AWS Lambda, AWS CloudFront, GCP or Firebase. Experience of all of these is not required, but some familiarity wouldn’t hurt. And if you’d like to learn any of them, we’d be more than happy to teach you.
