SENIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEER (PYTHON)
CENTRAL LONDON - HYBRID (2-3 DAYS PW)
£100,000 - £110,000 + BONUS & BENEFITS

Are you a Senior Software Engineer passionate about building robust, scalable Python applications in a fast-paced fintech environment? This is a critical hire for a rapidly growing UK fintech, aiming to transform the credit landscape and empower thousands of customers. You'll join a lean, agile engineering team, playing a pivotal role in a major tech transformation including a brand-new mobile app. If you're a hands-on technical leader who thrives on impact and is excited by fintech and AI, this is your chance.

THE COMPANY:
This profitable fintech, with a strong Glassdoor rating, is disrupting the credit market by offering fairer financial products to those with limited credit histories. They're in growth phase, and operate with the agility of a startup despite their success. You'll contribute directly to products impacting customers, joining a team of around 100 people. Significant investment in their tech platform means your work will be at the forefront of innovation.

THE ROLE:
As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll be a key player in a dynamic ~8-person engineering team, reporting to the Engineering Manager. This is a hands-on, end-to-end Python engineering role with no direct line management, focused on technical excellence and mentorship.

Your core responsibilities will include:

  • Architecting, designing, and building scalable web platforms and APIs using Python.
  • Collaborating in 2-week sprint cycles on diverse projects, from greenfield mobile app development to core platform enhancements.
  • Contributing to testing strategies, CI/CD pipelines, and influencing architectural decisions.
  • Mentoring peers and championing rapid, iterative development in a lean, fast-paced culture.

YOUR SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

  • 7+ years in software development at a senior level.
  • Strong backend Python engineering background (FastAPI, Flask, or Django preferred).
  • Experience with AWS (Azure acceptable), Agile practices, and CI/CD.
  • Some frontend awareness (React).


BENEFITS:

  • Company bonus scheme.
  • Generous holiday allowance (starting at 25 days, increasing to 30).
  • Enhanced pension (with 4x base salary life cover).
  • Training, mentoring, and career development.
