Launch Plum on Android!

We’re looking for a customer-focussed Android engineer to join our engineering team in London.

How we work

We work in "squads" – a more startup-appropriate name for saying small, cross-functional teams. Each squad has a mission and a set of KPIs to monitor and improve. We have 3 of these squads right now – Savings, Investments and Black Ops. As an engineer youll work in a squad but you can also reach out to and work with anyone in the company.

Our culture: openness and accountability

Even though youll have a primary role, you can get involved in any aspect of the business youre interested in and contribute feedback and product ideas freely. In return, well expect you to back your decisions with data and logic. Features are considered finished when the data tells us that theyve moved the needle.

What we look for

Technical knowledge is critical but we are a startup treading in uncharted territory so attitude is even more important. Were looking for people that like uncertainty and want to figure out how to do things that haven’t been done before. Youre a true team player and inherently positive. Where others see problems, you see solutions.

What we offer

• Bucketfuls of challenging problems to solve, so hopefully thats your thing! Our job is to take a complicated, archaic domain and make it simple and accessible to everyone.
• One of the best learning experiences of your life. Youll get to work with extremely smart and capable people, with backgrounds in finance, physics, history, computing, languages and more.
• Company stock options – were all in this together.
• 25 days holiday a year, excluding bank holidays (33 in total).
• Work from our Athens office whenever you want.
• Team trip to secret destinations once a year ✈️
• Plants, lots of plants 🌱
• Fresh fruit (plums obviously), snacks with varying health benefits and great coffee. Because you cant be a startup without great coffee.
