Senior C# Software Engineer - Manchester

Our Software Engineers don't just write code, they solve real financial problems for millions of customers. You'll work on distributed systems processing thousands of transactions daily, build resilient services that handle people's money, and create experiences that make traditionally complex financial products feel simple.

We care deeply about great engineering, which is why our core stack is Kotlin, running on a modern platform with Kafka, Kubernetes, Docker and AWS Aurora Postgres. But great engineers aren't defined by a single language which is why we are agnostic with our hiring.

We want the right people, not the 'right' language, so if you come from a C#/.NET background, bring solid fundamentals, and have an appetite for learning something new, we'll invest in you, help you grow your skills and confidently step into our Kotlin ecosystem.

• Writing clean, reliable and maintainable backend code using Kotlin
• Working on scalable cloud-based systems within a product-focused Agile team
• Collaborating with engineers, product managers and designers to build and ship features
• Taking part in planning, technical discussions and code reviews
• Building well-tested services and contributing to continuous delivery
• Taking ownership of your work - from development to production
• Continuously learning and developing your skills in a supportive environment

• You've got some solid hands-on experience with C# but open to learning Java or Kotlin
• You care about writing good quality code and value clean design and testing
• You're curious, eager to learn and not afraid to ask questions
• You enjoy solving problems and working as part of a collaborative team
• You want to build things that have a real impact on customers
• You communicate clearly and are happy contributing to team decisions
• You're excited by modern engineering practices like CI/CD and cloud-native tools

• 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

At Zopa we value flexible ways of working.

We value face to face collaboration and a good work life balance. This hybrid role requires you to come to our Manchester office 2-3 days a week (WeWork, Dalton Place, 29 John Dalton Street, M2 6WF). Please note this office is dog friendly so you might see some furry friends about!

You'll also have the option of working from abroad for up to 120 days a year! But no matter where you are, we'll make sure you've got everything you need to thrive, both in your work and home life, from day one.
