More

We are a UK-based organisation building a shared infrastructure platform designed to support financial services access in local communities. Our platform enables multiple institutions to provide services through a unified physical and digital presence, helping people access cash, receive support, and engage with financial products. We are a small, collaborative engineering team working in a high-ownership, fast-moving environment where we value continuous improvement, strong engineering standards, and practical impact. This is a hands-on role with the opportunity to influence architecture, tooling, and ways of working while helping our platform scale reliably.
