ABOUT MARSHMALLOW

We build financial products that accelerate the economic freedom for people who move across borders. We started with car insurance — insuring over a million drivers — and we’re scaling beyond. Tens of millions of people move countries each year, facing overlooked financial challenges. Our future is in building financial products around their needs to positively impact their lives.

WHAT YOU’LL WORK ON

This is a unique opportunity to make a large customer-centric impact working on a brand-new greenfield product offering for Marshmallow, focused on solving a really key problem for our customer base. Moving to the UK typically costs thousands of pounds, and often people feel unfairly treated because they struggle to get equal access to financial services. Having made a huge impact in car insurance, our attention is now on helping people who have moved to the UK get fairer access to lending products - starting with car finance. Our Talent Acquisition team can share more specifics about the product during your initial call. You’ll also report directly to our co-founder and Chief Architect, as he’s personally overseeing the launch of this product.
We’re looking for engineers who can work well in ambiguity, work autonomously with a self-starter attitude, and apply their excellent skills and experience to make sensible trade-offs for learning and fast iterative product delivery. You will be embedded in a completely new team within Marshmallow who will be close-knit, highly collaborative, and impact-focused. We’re a team of ten highly motivated people, five of whom are engineers, and we work mostly independently from the wider company (operating as a startup within a scaleup). We support one another to get the best outcomes and to build the right solutions.
This role requires autonomy, drive, curiosity and collaboration.

• Working in a new team launching a brand new product, which will have a real impact on our customers’ lives.
• Contribute to building solutions to ambiguous product problems with an appropriate sense of urgency to deliver impact within the team.
• Creating and promoting efficiency and speed within the team by autonomously solving problems, designing and implementing effective solutions.
• Partnering with stakeholders to understand requirements, build solutions, deliver functionality, write automation tests and build continuous delivery pipelines all the way through to deployment, monitoring and supporting these systems in production.
• Help us evolve our architecture to optimise for simplicity and product delivery speed.
• You’ll have the opportunity to mentor other engineers and grow your own skills through influence on important strategic product decisions.
• Growth opportunities for the right candidate could lead to Technical Lead and Staff Engineer opportunities within Marshmallow.
