At Engine by Starling, we are on a mission to find and work with leading banks all around the world who have the ambition to build rapid growth businesses, on our technology. 

Engine is Starling's software-as-a-service (SaaS) business, the technology that was built to power Starling Bank, and two years ago we split out as a separate business. 

Starling Bank has seen exceptional growth and success in the UK, and a large part of that is down to the fact that we have built our own modern technology from the ground up. This SaaS technology platform is now available to banks and financial institutions all around the world, enabling them to benefit from the innovative digital features, and efficient back-office processes that has helped achieve Starling's success.

We are on a mission to find and work with leading banks all around the world who have the ambition to build rapid growth businesses, on our technology. We are looking for future leaders to come and join our team, to build client relationships, and work with them to understand their needs and how we can solve them with Engine’s technology.

Who are Engine by Starling

Engine is the technology arm of Starling Bank, headquartered in London with offices in Dublin, Sydney, Dubai and the UK. This role will be based in Dubai but may include travel.

We have a Hybrid approach to working here at Engine - our preference is that you're located within a commutable distance of our place of work in Dubai so that we're able to interact and collaborate in person, ideally 4/5 days per week in office.
