Welcome to Zopa. Welcome to better banking all round. Combining the reliability of a high street bank with the ease of app-based banking, we aim to offer our customers more value than both. Founded in 2005, we’re now trusted by over 1.5 million people across the UK to help them make the most of their money. We’ve lent out over £13 billion, look after more than £5 billion in savings, have 600,000+ customers using our credit card and are proud to be rated Excellent on Trustpilot from 30,000+ reviews. Along the way, we’ve picked up a stack of awards for our loans, credit cards, car finance and savings products — but despite all that experience, we’re still just getting started. In 2025, we launched our Biscuit bank account — a current account that’s much sweeter than the average. Customers can open an account in minutes and with interest on balances, cashback on bills, an exclusive savings rate and everything managed effortlessly in our app, it’s built to help our customers get more dough with less effort. In August we announced the opening of our new office in central Manchester, representing our ambition to grow our footprint across the UK and reflect our ongoing investment in innovation and talent. The Zopa Manchester office will initially provide space for 50+ employees, with roles focused on product, engineering, and specialist operations. It could grow tenfold to over 500 staff over time.

Staff Software Engineer - Engine by Starling

Manchester

Hello, we’re Starling 👋Starling was founded in 2014 with a clear, ambitious goal: to build a better bank. We didn't just want to create another financial institution; we wanted to fundamentally change the way people and businesses interact with their money. Since receiving our banking license in 2016 and launching our first accounts in 2017, we have consistently pushed the boundaries of what is possible in fintech.We were the first digital bank in the UK to turn a profit, and we’ve been named Britain's Best Current Account year after year. Our success has been built on a foundation of world-class technology, transparency, and a relentless focus on customer experience. Whether it’s through our award-winning app, our support for small businesses, or our industry-leading security features, we’ve spent the last decade proving that banking can be fair, smart, and human.Why Manchester?Our move to Manchester in early 2023 was a natural next step for us. When we were looking for a home for our fourth UK office, Manchester was the obvious choice. The city is a powerhouse of tech talent and creative heritage, and its vibrant ecosystem perfectly aligns with our culture of innovation.We’ve set up shop in the Landmark building at St Peter’s Square, a space that reflects our commitment to sustainability and modern working. Since opening our doors, we’ve been focused on scaling our team here to include up to 1,000 specialists across software engineering, data science, cybersecurity, and customer operations. We aren't just here to fill seats; we are here to integrate into the local community and draw from the incredible pool of graduates and professionals that the North has to offer.The Next Frontier: Engine by StarlingAs we’ve matured, we’ve realized that the proprietary technology we built to power Starling is something the rest of the world needs. This led to the birth of Engine by Starling, our global Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) business.Engine allows other banks around the world to use the same cloud-native technology platform that we use. It’s a complete, modular banking solution that helps other institutions modernise their systems, launch new digital products quickly, and provide better experiences for their own customers. By diversifying our model this way, we’ve evolved from a leading digital bank into a global technology provider.This evolution means that when you join us in Manchester, you’re working at the intersection of finance and global tech. We are building the future of the global financial industry right here in the heart of the city, and we couldn't be more excited for what’s next.
