Hello there. We’re Zopa the Feel Good Money company.

In 2005 we built the first ever peer-to-peer lending company to give people access to simpler, better-value loans and investments. Since then we’ve helped hundreds of thousands of customers take the stress out of money by building our business on honesty, transparency and trust.

It works so well that we want to give our customers access to other great products and tools, empowering them to better manage their money. That’s why, in December 2018, we launched a different type of bank, allowing us to bring a greater range of smart finance products to even more people.

Job Title: Software Engineer

Salary: Competitive

Location: London Bridge

Advert Start Date: Monday 13th May 2019

Closing Date: Wednesday 12th June 2019

The Challenge:

Zopa’s mission is to create a richer life for everyone by making money fair and simple. We do this by building great financial products, like our award-winning personal loans and our hugely popular investment products. These products are underpinned by a business model which means that we win when the customer wins – unlike many other financial products which rely on customers making mistakes or being misinformed to make money.

In 2018 we are going a step further, by building the next generation bank with cutting edge technologies and are looking for talented mid and senior level Java Software Engineers to work on a major rebuild of our technical stack. You can choose to be based either in our riverside London Bridge office or sunny Barcelona!

You can expect to interact with stakeholders and key business users daily. We are big believers in a lean philosophy and flexibility in implementation, while aiming to achieve stack consistency and alignment across the board. All of our Java infrastructure is deployed with Docker/Kubernetes when we need to via CI (Jenkins) and a completely automated test suite.

Here is some of the Tech Stack you will be working with: Java 8, Kafka, React, React-Native, Kubernetes, Docker, Jenkins, RabbitMQ, Redis, Babel just to name a few.

Zopa is proud to offer a workplace free from discrimination. Diversity of experience, perspectives, and backgrounds leads to great products and unique company culture. We simply can’t expect to empower our customers to better manage their money without challenging the current status quo. Creating the best place for money is no easy task, which is why we need talent from all walks of life.

More than a decade ago our founders saw a simple problem: people borrowing money were being charged high rates and those able to invest money were getting low returns. Everyone was losing out.

Our founders wanted to change this and knew that by matching borrowers and investors directly, both would be better off. Their goal was, and still is, to make money simple and fair.

Fair rates, managed risks, and better rewards. That's how we're shaping the future of finance.

Our name, Zopa, stands for ‘Zone of Possible Agreement’ – a negotiating term that identifies the bounds within which agreement can be reached between two parties.

Want to help us shape the future of finance?

We’re growing faster than ever. Especially now we’ve announced plans to apply to launch a bank.
