£80,000–£95,000 + bonus & benefits | West London | Permanent | 5 days onsite
We’re hiring a mid-level Backend Software Engineer to join the London technology team of an investment bank, building mission-critical systems supporting global payments and financial markets.
You’ll work on high-performance backend systems that provide end-to-end visibility across payment lifecycles and connect into trillions of dollars of global liquidity and capital.
This would suit an engineer who enjoys solving complex technical problems and wants to work on large-scale, business-critical systems.

Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

- Strong backend software engineering experience
- Commercial experience with Java, Python or C#
- Strong problem-solving and software design skills
- Experience working with scalable, distributed or high-performance systems
- Experience participating in or leading code reviews
- Ability to support and mentor other engineers
