Job Description

:

Hello, we\'re Starling. We built a new kind of bank because we knew technology had the power to help people save, spend and manage their money in a new and transformative way. We\'re a fully licensed UK bank with the culture and spirit of a fast-moving, disruptive tech company. We\'re a bank, but better: fairer, easier to use and designed to demystify money for everyone.
