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, 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 draw upon our experience as knowledgeable bankers, and best in class technologists to become the chosen option for these banks, and preferred partners for leading consultancies.
As a company, everyone is expected to roll up their sleeves to help deliver great outcomes for our clients. We are an engineering led company and we're looking for someone who will be excited by the potential for Engine's technology to transform banking in different markets around the world.
Hybrid Working
We have a Hybrid approach to working here at Engine - our preference is that you're located within a commutable distance of one of our offices so that we're able to interact and collaborate in person. Some travel (including international) will be necessary, depending on the client and nature of the engagement.
Engine by Starling engineers are excited about helping us deliver new features, regardless of what their primary tech stack may be. Hear from the team in our latest Blog or our case studies with Women in Tech.
About the role
As a Solution Architect (SA) you will use your understanding of the Engine technology and architecture to explain the Engine product, uncover client requirements and support the design of client solutions. You will be involved in both the sales and delivery phases of a project as well as ongoing client success, working across Engine, collaborating with Engineering, Delivery, Product, Client Success and Business Development teams. Supporting these activities on client sites means the role will require travel around the UK, Europe, the Middle East and occasional further travel. There are also opportunities for 6-month international secondments and/or relocation to support client delivery.
What you'll get to do:
This role blends deep technical expertise with strong communication and collaboration skills. You'll become an Engine expert, understanding its architecture, technology, and functionality, allowing you to effectively communicate its capabilities and value to both technical and non-technical audiences, including prospective clients. You'll act as a trusted advisor to clients during implementation, guiding them on integration, best practices, and platform workflows. Collaborating closely with Engine Engineering and Product teams, you'll help design, build, and deliver new features - from initial concept to deployed APIs, mobile journeys, and Management Portal enhancements. Your contributions will also extend to shaping Engine's product roadmap and supporting sales efforts through technical demos and client workshops.
You'll lead on technical topics during Engine Discovery phases with prospective clients. You'll communicate Engine's current and future capabilities to diverse stakeholders, ensuring alignment between technical possibilities and business needs. A key focus is understanding target country banking regulations, and defining necessary localisations. You'll collaborate with clients and System Integrator (SI) partners to design solutions, outlining the target architecture and integration landscape. This includes helping our partners design & build their integration environment (Integration & Orchestration Layer), identifying third-party dependencies, and meticulously documenting scope and roadmap decisions to guide subsequent delivery waves. Throughout, you'll leverage your knowledge of Engine's product capabilities to address client inquiries and bring in relevant Product Owners when specialized expertise is required.
You will also be a technical champion for our existing clients, ensuring their ongoing success. This includes taking ownership of the technical aspects of client deliveries, collaborating closely with our SI partners to overcome challenges and achieve seamless integrations. You'll provide expert guidance to client engineering teams, using documentation, API specifications, and sequence diagrams to foster a deep understanding of Engine's architecture and functionalities. Additionally, you will collaborate closely with our Client Success team to troubleshoot technical issues, translate client needs into new technical requirements, and architect innovative solutions that enhance the Engine platform.
