Our Story
Hello there. We’re Zopa.
We started our journey back in 2005, building the first ever peer-to-peer lending company. Fast forward to 2020 and we launched Zopa Bank. A bank that listens to what our customers don’t like about finance and does the opposite. We’re redefining what it feels like to work in finance. Our vision for a new era of banking puts people front and centre — we’ve built a business that empowers everyone to aim high, every day, to move finance forward. Find out more about our fantastic offerings at Zopa.com!
We’re incredibly proud of our achievements and none of it would be possible without the amazing team here. It’s not just industry awards we’re winning, we’ve also been named in the top three UK’s Most Loved Workplaces.
If you embrace unconventional challenges, are unafraid to think differently and are driven to make an outsized impact, you’ll thrive here at Zopa, so join us, and make it count. Want to see us in action? Follow us on Instagram @zopalife
The team:
We’re seeking a Senior Backend Engineer to join our Point of Sale squad in Manchester. This team underpins Zopa’s retail finance offerings — enabling smooth integrations between our platform and UK-wide retailers. You’ll work on designing and scaling distributed systems, crafting secure APIs, and ensuring data flows efficiently between merchants, customers, and Zopa’s core services. You'll bring deep backend expertise, contribute to architecture decisions, and mentor less experienced engineers as we evolve our platform to serve millions.
Why join Zopa Manchester?
We’re building a new tech hub right in the heart of the city — with real backing, big ambition and the support of an established, award-winning company. You’ll be part of a new engineering chapter in Manchester, helping shape how we grow and build the team from day one.
You’ll work in a product-focused environment where engineers own their work end-to-end, deploy to production frequently, and see the real-world impact of what they build. You’ll also get to work with a modern tech stack: Kotlin, Kafka, Kubernetes, Docker, AWS, Aurora Postgres and more.
We work hybrid, with at least 2 days a week together in our Manchester office.
