Integration & Data Platform Engineer

Crown Agents Bank is a vastly growing and regulated UK bank that connects emerging and frontier markets to the rest of the world, using FX and payments technology. We are transforming the way payments and FX move through emerging markets, reducing friction so that more money gets to those who need it. Emerging markets payments are usually challenging, expensive, unreliable and opaque. Our solutions help fix these pain points. Ultimately, we connect traditionally hard-to-reach regions to global financial infrastructure, giving access to the best prices and the fastest, most reliable settlement.

FX and cross-border payments are often complex and expensive, especially when operating in emerging markets. Crown Agents Bank (CAB) wraps its deep and trusted relationships and strength of network around innovative digital capabilities, and cross-border transaction banking solutions to enable fintech, corporates, governments, development organisations and banks to move money to, from, and across often hard-to-reach markets.

Role Purpose

Crown Agents Bank connects emerging and frontier markets to the rest of the world, and that depends on software that can reliably integrate CAB's own systems with a wide range of third-party platforms, correspondent banks and internal data consumers. This role exists to design, build and evolve those integration solutions and the cloud-native platforms that support them – which, depending on where the team's priorities lie, may include the Operational Data Store (built on Debezium, Java, Spring Boot and Aurora Serverless v2) alongside other integration and platform work. The Associate Vice President works hands-on with a high degree of initiative and autonomy, contributing actively to design discussions alongside the Data and Integration Services Lead and Architecture colleagues, and taking responsibility for turning agreed designs into resilient, well-built software and infrastructure. Engineers are expected and encouraged to utilise the latest in AI tooling in their delivery and champion it’s use in our platforms.
