Build regulator-grade integrations at the heart of a next-generation digital bank. Is this you? What you'll be doing (and why you'll enjoy it) Where you'll be doing it What you'll need What you'll get How to apply
You're a detail-driven integration specialist who thrives in complex, regulated environments. You take pride in building deterministic, auditable systems where financial accuracy is non-negotiable. Comfortable engaging with Finance, Data and Architecture teams, you combine strong technical depth with sharp analytical and problem-solving skills. You enjoy untangling reconciliation issues, embedding controls into code, and delivering resilient, production-ready solutions in Agile environments.
You'll design and build secure, event-driven integrations between a sub-ledger, SAP S/4HANA General Ledger, a Data Mesh platform and a BPM engine. This includes developing Kafka-based publishing and consumption services, implementing reconciliation controls, validation and error handling, and ensuring full auditability of financial postings. You'll support financial close processes, expose finance data securely for reporting, trigger and synchronise workflow processes, and embed governance, compliance and zero data-loss principles into every integration. You'll also contribute to testing environments, resolve reconciliation breaks, and support controlled production deployments.
You'll join a high-performing digital banking build programme within a regulated financial services environment. This organisation is investing heavily in modern architecture, including event-driven design and data mesh principles, to create a scalable, future-ready banking platform. The culture is collaborative, delivery-focused and quality-driven, with strong emphasis on governance, innovation and engineering excellence.
You bring 6+ years' backend development experience in distributed systems, with at least 3 years building event-driven solutions using Kafka. You have solid experience integrating financial systems (banking, fintech or ERP), strong PostgreSQL skills, and a deep understanding of double-entry accounting, GL and sub-ledger lifecycles. You're confident with REST/gRPC APIs, reconciliation-aware integrations, CI/CD pipelines and Agile delivery. Experience with SAP S/4HANA, Flowable BPM and data mesh architectures will be highly advantageous.
A high-impact contract role on a cutting-edge digital banking programme, working alongside senior architects and finance specialists. You'll gain exposure to modern integration patterns, regulator-grade engineering standards and large-scale financial transformation initiatives, all within a forward-thinking, technology-led environment.
