Senior Android Engineer
Plum Fintech, Cyprus

Plum is helping 1.7m people across Europe to do more with their money. Our smart money app harnesses the power of automation to make saving money simpler and investing more accessible. Our goal is to help with parts of personal finance that people find difficult or don’t have time for, helping make everyone better off over their lifetime.

Plum is the solution to a critical issue. In the UK alone, around 1 in 10 people have no savings at all to fall back on and over 4 in 10 don’t have enough savings to live for a month without income. Across Europe, around 103m people have no savings and 180m don’t know how to invest.

We were among the first apps to use artificial intelligence to help people with their money back in 2017. Fast forward to today, and we’ve helped people save 2bn across 10 European markets. We’re the fastest-growing fintech in the UK, according to the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 and we were voted by the public as the Best Personal Finance App in the British Bank Awards 2023.

Our people are the key to our success here at Plum. Based across our offices in London, Athens and Nicosia, we have 170 talented and passionate people from over 30 different nationalities working together, united by our values of persistence, custome focus, collaboration and making change happen.

Our Engineering Approach

We value good engineering principles, imagination, quirkiness and healthy curiosity. We take a conservative approach to using external frameworks and we aspire to write simple, well-tested code, delivered in rapid iterations. Our moto is: "Own what you build. Share what you own!"

The Team

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. As an engineer you'll be working in a squad but you can also reach out to and work with anyone in the company. You will also be a part of a Mobile engineering team, a team consisting of Mobile Product Engineers who share the same vision and passion of building an exceptional mobile team that will help people be financially better off.

Our Culture: Openness amp; Accountability

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

The Role

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

Please note we are following a hybrid work model, in which we visit our office 2 times per week.#LI-Hybrid
