Engineering Manager • Lead

 

We started our journey back in 2005, building the first ever peer-to-peer lending company. Fast forward to 2020 and we launched Zopa Bank. A bank that listens to what our customers don’t like about finance and does the opposite. We’re redefining what it feels like to work in finance. Our vision for a new era of banking puts people front and centre — we’ve built a business that empowers everyone to aim high, every day, to move finance forward. Find out more about our fantastic offerings at Zopa.com! 

We’re incredibly proud of our achievements and none of it would be possible without the amazing team here. It’s not just industry awards we’re winning, we’ve also been named in the top three UK’s Most Loved Workplaces. 

If you embrace unconventional challenges, are unafraid to think differently and are driven to make an outsized impact, you’ll thrive here at Zopa, so join us, and make it count. Want to see us in action? Follow us on Instagram @zopalife

We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to lead one of our Manchester-based engineering squads in the Point of Sale tribe. This team powers Zopa’s retail finance products — making it easy and transparent for customers to access finance at the checkout. 

You’ll lead a cross-functional team responsible for building and scaling the platforms that connect Zopa with retailers and marketplaces across the UK. As a team coach and technical leader, you’ll enable your engineers to thrive while delivering great software that supports millions of customers and merchant partners. 

We’re building a new tech hub right in the heart of the city — with real backing, big ambition and the support of an established, award-winning company. You’ll be part of a new engineering chapter in Manchester, helping shape how we grow and build the team from day one. 

You’ll work in a product-focused environment where engineers own their work end-to-end, deploy to production frequently, and see the real-world impact of what they build. You’ll also get to work with a modern tech stack: Kotlin, Kafka, Kubernetes, Docker, AWS, Aurora Postgres and more. 

We work hybrid, with at least 2 days a week together in our Manchester office.
