Starling is the UK's first and leading digital bank on a mission to fix banking! We built a new kind of bank because we knew technology had the power to help people save, spend and manage their money in a new and transformative way. We're a fully licensed UK bank with the culture and spirit of a fast-moving, disruptive tech company. We're a bank, but better: fairer, easier to use and designed to demystify money for everyone. We employ more than 3,000 people across our London, Southampton, Cardiff and Manchester offices. Our technologists are at the very heart of Starling and enjoy working in a fast-paced environment that is all about building things, creating new stuff, and disruptive technology that keeps us on the cutting edge of fintech. We operate a flat structure to empower you to make decisions regardless of what your primary responsibilities may be, innovation and collaboration will be at the core of everything you do. Help is never far away in our open culture, you will find support in your team and from across the business, we are in this together! The way to thrive and shine within Starling is to be a self-driven individual and be able to take full ownership of everything around you: From building things, designing, discovering, to sharing knowledge with your colleagues and making sure all processes are efficient and productive to deliver the best possible results for our customers.

Collaborative Code Ownership : You will serve as a technical authority in cross-functional code reviews , acting as an engineering peer who helps teams bake security into their services from the first line of code to the final pull request. Proactive System Hardening : You will stay ahead of the evolving threat landscape by treating security as a continuous engineering challenge-proactively identifying vulnerabilities and architecting technical solutions to fortify our global ecosystem. Professional Requirements Demonstrated ability to architect secure, distributed systems with a focus on programmatic IAM and automated, API-driven PKI management . Extensive experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) in Terraform and a deep commitment to writing clean, maintainable, and production-grade code -ideally in Golang . A test-first mentality toward security, with experience building unit and integration tests into CI/CD pipelines to ensure that security guardrails are as reliable as the features they protect. A strong conceptual grasp of cryptographic primitives and hands-on experience securing containerized workloads and service meshes within ECS and Kubernetes . A track record of taking end-to-end ownership of complex technical projects, from initial design docs and RFCs through to deployment and observability. A belief that if it isn't tested, it's broken , and a drive to proactively identify and fix vulnerabilities by treating security as a continuous engineering challenge. Our Team Philosophy The Security Engineering team is a diverse and dynamic group passionate about building secure and resilient systems. We're enthusiastic about security, but we're not about rigid, one-size-fits-all controls. We believe in striking a balance between protecting our systems and empowering our developers to build and innovate. Our goal is to make security a seamless part of the development lifecycle, not a roadblock. If you are someone who thrives in a collaborative environment and is excited about finding innovative security solutions, we would love to hear from you.

About Netcraft Netcraft is the global leader in cybercrime detection and disruption. We are a trusted partner for three of the four largest companies in the world and many large governments. We have blocked over 225million cyber attacks to date and take down around 33% of the world's phishing attacks. Our purpose is to protect the world from cybercrime. Role Developer Experience Engineer (DevEx / DX) - Platform team. This founding individual contributor role can be based in any UK office (London, Manchester or Bath). We are looking for someone who can build a DevEx function from the ground up, accelerate developer productivity, and remove engineering friction across the organisation. Responsibilities Lead the evaluation and integration of developer tools, especially AI assisted development tooling; support team adoption by sharing knowledge, running demos, tracking utilisation and demonstrating value. Experiment with emerging developer tooling and evaluate their real world impact on engineering productivity. Develop and maintain "golden path" templates and scaffolding to accelerate project bootstrapping and promote consistent engineering practices. Improve and standardise the local development experience across all engineering teams (environment setup, local services, test data, etc.) to reduce onboarding and iteration time. Work with the Platform Engineering department to securely abstract infrastructure and cloud tasks away from software engineers. Assess and recommend improvements to CI/CD pipelines and SDLC processes; reduce build and test feedback loops by improving CI pipeline performance and reliability. Define and track developer productivity metrics (build times, CI performance, deployment frequency) to identify systemic friction and measure improvement. Help software teams curate high quality pipelines and tests, ensuring high release confidence. Build and maintain internal developer tools (CLIs, automations, shared libraries, etc.) that simplify common engineering workflows. Conduct regular user research and feedback sessions with engineering teams to identify friction points and propose improvements. Improve the structure and discoverability of engineering documentation, reducing time to first MR and improving engineering onboarding. Qualifications 4+ years of experience in Software Engineering, DevEx, and/or Platform Engineering roles. Strong proficiency in at least one modern systems or scripting language (ideally Go). Demonstrated experience integrating generative AI powered tooling into software workflows.
