As a scale up, the engineering organisation will grow considerably by end FY23, expanding beyond that as we prove our capability. To start, we adapted an existing platform to address a new market opportunity and prove our commercial thesis. With this achieved, we secured funding to support our expansion and have embarked on an ambitious scaling of our product engineering team that will rapidly evolve our platform using the latest cloud-native and full-stack technologies to achieve a leadership position in our selected markets. We seek ambitious product engineers (not just software developers) with experience in cloud-native approaches that can shape our platform strategy and accelerate our product development plans.
THE ROLE
Join us on a pivotal 3-4 month initiative aimed at revolutionizing our platform's security infrastructure. As a Product Engineer specializing in security and authentication technologies, you will play a crucial role in migrating our cloud-based treasury management system to a modern Identity Provider (IDP). This fixed-term project is designed to enhance our platform's authentication processes, bolster security, and streamline user access through the adoption of cutting-edge technologies.
Your expertise will guide the transition to a sophisticated authentication system, leveraging OAuth, Single Sign-On (SSO), and the latest in security protocols to protect and modernize our microservices architecture. With a foundation in .Net Framework and a path set towards .Net Core, your skills will be instrumental in ensuring a seamless migration to our new IDP solution, setting new standards for security and efficiency within our platform.
Your Responsibilities
Focused Project Delivery: Directly contribute to a critical, short-term project to overhaul our authentication systems, ensuring the initiative is completed within the set timeframe.
Modern Authentication Expertise: Implement and refine advanced authentication and authorization mechanisms such as OAuth and SSO, aligning with modern security practices and our platform's architectural evolution.
Microservices Security: Secure our microservices architecture, emphasizing robust access control and identity management through the integration with a third-party IDP.
Solution-Oriented Development: Work independently and as part of a dedicated project team, transforming complex security requirements into high-quality, engineered solutions using C#, .Net Core, and SOLID principles.
Documentation and Training: Produce comprehensive documentation and example code for authentication flows and security protocols, facilitating knowledge transfer and operational continuity post-project.
Requirements
Technical Proficiency: Strong background in .Net Core, with a solid understanding of .Net Framework. Experience with modern IDP solutions such as Auth0 or Curity is highly regarded.
Security Specialization: Demonstrable experience in designing and implementing secure authentication solutions within a microservices architecture, including OAuth and SSO protocols.
Agile Methodology: Fluent in Agile practices, with the ability to adapt and excel in a dynamic project environment, ensuring timely and effective communication with team members and stakeholders.
Communication Skills: Excellent verbal and written communication abilities, crucial for team collaboration, stakeholder updates, and the clear documentation of security protocols and authentication flows.
This role, specialising in OAuth and SSO technologies represents an exciting opportunity to contribute significantly to the security and user experience of our platform, enabling secure and seamless access for users across our services.
Benefits
Formed in 2014 by a team of proven FinTech entrepreneurs, we are an FCA regulated payments business that is driven to be the payment partner of choice for the insurance market, by providing global payment services and treasury optimisation. Operating one of the largest domestic banking and payment settlement networks in the world, we give our customers direct access to more than 170 countries and territories, covering over 110 currencies.

Our market-leading treasury optimisation service brings complete control and transparency to insurers and allows them to have their money in the right place, at the right time, to make that all important payment - fast, and when their customers need it most.
With now over 160 employees across Europe and our London headquarters, $26m series B funding in 2022 in the bag and approaching £8bn in processed transactions, we are only just getting started.
We are collaborative, customer centric and work with integrity, whilst partnering with some of the biggest insurance leaders including Lloyd's of London and Many Pets. We take huge pride in our company culture, ensuring that everyone has a part to play, an opportunity to be heard, be involved, and the ability to make a real difference.
As we continue to scale up, we want like-minded humans to join us on this exciting journey. Are you ready?
