We move fast at Strikepay, so you’ll need to show sound reasoning when it comes to prioritising work and delivering value to customers whilst maximising quality, minimising and mitigating defects as early and as quickly as possible. As we grow, we’ll also be looking to increase the size of the team and the breadth of our skillset. We have a strong learning culture at Strikepay – you’ll be given the opportunity to learn new skills and also encouraged to share your knowledge and experience with others.

How to Apply
Send an up-to-date CV to careers@strikepay.co with an overview of why you’d like to work at Strikepay and what you think sets you apart from other applicants. There’s no requirement for you to be maintaining or contributing to open source software, but if you have any code or projects you’d like to share with us, please send us links.
What Happens Next?
We’ll be reviewing your application and contacting you by email within 2 weeks to invite you for a remote interview should you meet the criteria outlined above. If selected for an interview, we will spend approximately 1 hour getting to know you and asking about your relevant experience and expertise. We will then invite you for a short, 45 minute technical interview where we’ll talk through some code, explore how you would reach a technical solution to a problem, and to better understand your approach. There will be the opportunity to ask questions about Strikepay at both of these interviews. Whilst we regret that we can’t provide feedback for every application at the first stage, we will provide feedback in writing or by phone following the interview stages.
