Description

Thought Machine's mission is bold - to properly and permanently rid the world's banks of legacy technology. To achieve this, we have developed the foundations of modern banking through core and payments technology which run natively in the cloud. What we are attempting is hard and means we need great people working together to build great technology.

We have grown rapidly in the past few years - growing our team to more than 550 individuals across offices in London, New York, Singapore and Sydney. We have raised more than $500m in funding and are now valued at $2.7bn. Our investors include Molten Ventures, Eurazeo, Intesa Sanpaolo, Temasek, Nyca Partners, JPMorgan Chase Strategic Investments, Standard Chartered Ventures, and more.

We have created a culture enabling our team to produce the best work in the industry, ensuring we have fun along the way. We're regularly cited as having a fantastic workplace culture and have been recognised by Sifted magazine as having one of the highest Glassdoor ratings for a UK fintech company and the most generous employee share package in the industry. Global Finance Magazine named us one of the world's most innovative fintechs, and the Financial Times recognised us as one of Europe's fastest-growing companies in 2023.

At Thought Machine, IT stands for Internal Technology because we ensure our colleagues have the tools they need to be productive - whatever form that takes. We run IT support operations primarily in-person, because that solves the user's problem quicker, and gives a great social experience at the same time. We have a Mac laptop fleet and Linux desktops, with a mix of on-premises and cloud infrastructure. In this role you'll deliver world class support for them all, within a fast-moving, innovative technology company.
