Thought Machine’s mission is bold – to properly and permanently rid the world’s banks of legacy technology. To achieve this, we have developed the foundations of modern banking through core and payments technology, which run natively in the cloud. What we are attempting is challenging and requires great people working together to build exceptional technology.
We have grown rapidly over the past few years, expanding our team to more than 550 individuals across offices in London, New York, Singapore, and Sydney. We have raised more than $500m in funding and are now valued at $2.7bn. Our investors include Molten Ventures, Eurazeo, Intesa Sanpaolo, Temasek, Nyca Partners, JPMorgan Chase Strategic Investments, Standard Chartered Ventures, and more.
We have created a culture enabling our team to produce the best work in the industry, ensuring we have fun along the way. We're regularly cited as having a fantastic workplace culture and have been recognised by Sifted magazine as having one of the highest Glassdoor ratings for a UK fintech company, as well as the most generous employee share package in the industry. Global Finance Magazine named us one of the world’s most innovative fintechs, and the Financial Times recognised us as one of Europe’s fastest-growing companies in 2023.
Software Engineering is a key role within Thought Machine. As an engineering-focused company, we take pride in our engineering excellence, adopting best practices, and utilising modern technologies.
Thought Machine software engineers work across the stack to solve complex engineering problems that have not been solved before. As a result, while development at Thought Machine is fast-paced, you will be expected to develop code to the highest standards that scales, is secure, performant, and provides a great user experience. Software Engineers will take complete ownership of a requirement, converting it into an engineering design, task breakdown, and implementation. You’ll be responsible for building both backend services and frontend experiences.
Our clients range from the world’s largest financial institutions to smaller regional banks. Our systems must cater to each of these use cases, so we care deeply about providing the ability to configure and customise the user experience based on the client's or end user's persona. Software engineers are expected to bridge the gap between back-end and front-end, crafting delightful experiences that delight all our clients.
This is a full-time, permanent position based in our London office, requiring three days a week onsite, with the option to work four days per week, which includes an additional financial allowance.
