Senior Software Engineer

One of the UK’s fastest-growing fintechs is hiring.

At ANNA Money, we’re building the AI-powered financial operating system for small businesses.

We help freelancers, founders and SMEs run their businesses with less admin, less friction and far less time wasted on repetitive tasks. From banking and payments to invoicing, bookkeeping, tax and company formations, ANNA combines financial tools, automation and AI into a single product experience used by thousands of businesses.

But we’re only just getting started.

Our long-term vision is ambitious: to build the first AI-powered operational employee for small businesses — an intelligent assistant capable of handling the repetitive operational work that business owners shouldn’t have to do themselves.

That means solving genuinely hard engineering problems across:

• AI and automation
• financial infrastructure
• distributed systems
• scalability
• product experience
• real-time data
• operational tooling
• and complex backend workflows
  
  

The Role

We’re looking for Senior Software Engineers who care deeply about product, engineering quality and customer impact.

This isn’t a role where you disappear into a giant org chart maintaining legacy systems. Our engineers work closely with product, design and leadership to shape what we build and how we build it.

You’ll have real ownership, high trust and the opportunity to influence architecture, tooling and technical direction as we scale.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Building scalable backend systems and customer-facing products
• Designing clean, maintainable, high-quality code
• Collaborating closely with product, design and data teams
• Solving complex engineering and operational challenges
• Contributing to architectural and technical decisions
• Improving performance, reliability and developer experience
• Helping shape engineering culture and standards
  
  

Our Stack

Our engineering teams currently work across:

• Python
• TypeScript
• React
• PostgreSQL
• Kubernetes
• RabbitMQ
• Flutter
• AWS/GCP
  
  

You do not need experience in every part of the stack — strong engineering fundamentals matter more.

Our Approach: We pride ourselves on remaining at the forefront of technological advancements, employing a modern technical stack and methodologies that enable us to deploy code to production an impressive 750 times per month.

Our Team: Globally, ANNA Money boasts a diverse team of approximately 200+ professionals, primarily consisting of adept software developers and innovative data scientists dedicated to advancing our product offerings. Presently, over 230,000 customers trust ANNA for their banking and administrative needs.

Join Us: If you're driven by innovation, hold a passion for creating impactful solutions, and are looking for an opportunity to contribute to the revolutionising of business administration for freelancers and small businesses across the UK, ANNA Money is your platform to thrive. Together, let's transform the way businesses approach admin and banking – making it smarter, faster, and more efficient for everyone.
