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 Cloud Infrastructure is part of Zopa’s Platform Tribe, working alongside DBA and DevX colleagues. Our customers are the engineers who build Zopa’s products, and we are making it easier for them to deliver safely and independently.

In the near term, the team is completing a major migration. Beyond that, we are bringing platform capabilities together and creating more self-service tooling and clear engineering guardrails.

You will join early enough to make a tangible contribution to how the platform evolves, not simply maintain what already exists.
