About Allica Bank

Allica is the UK’s fastest growing company - and the fastest-growing financial technology (Fintech) firm ever. Our purpose is to help established SMEs, one of the last major underserved opportunities in Fintech.

Established SMEs are the backbone of local communities - representing over a third of our economy - yet have been largely neglected both by traditional high street banks and modern fintech providers.

Department Description

Allica Bank is the UK’s fastest-growing fintech ever, empowering established SMEs (ESMEs) with world-class digital banking products. You’ll join a standalone squad consisting of a Head of Product, Senior/Staff Engineer (you), ML Engineer and Designer to build our new Cashflow Tools ‘Virtual Treasurer’ suite from the ground up.

Role Description

  • Build product from scratch: Partner with Product, Design, CX and real customers to ideate, architect and ship our Cashflow Tools suite, iterating quickly to deliver measurable value while laying the groundwork for scale.
  • Authentication & Integrations: Design and implement secure auth (OAuth, API-keys) and wire up to Open Banking endpoints and ERP data-aggregation services for seamless, real-time cash data.
  • Forecasting Engine: Develop a core forecasting module that projects near-term cash positions from historical inflows/outflows, and surface key trends in a dashboard.
  • DevOps & Reliability: Own CI/CD pipelines, containerization (Docker/K8s) and monitoring (logs, metrics, alerts) to keep everything running smoothly in production.
  • Mentorship & Collaboration: Guide your Front-End and AI/LLM peers, drive cross-functional alignment, and help set the squad’s technical direction.

Skills And Experience

  • Solid experience building backend services (Java/Kotlin) and front-end UIs (React/TypeScript) in high-velocity teams
  • Proven track record shipping fullstack products end-to-end, iterating quickly and refactoring as you learn
  • Hands-on with cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure), relational (Postgres/MySQL) and NoSQL (Redis) stores
  • Solid understanding of microservices, Docker, Kubernetes and CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions, Jenkins)
  • Familiarity with AI/ML concepts or eagerness to partner closely with our AI engineer
  • Excellent communicator—able to translate complex tech into clear plans and rally the team around them
