About YLD:

Our goal is to help our clients keep moving forward. We work with them to build the skills and capabilities they need to stay ahead of the competition, and we know our success only happens when they succeed. We’re a team of curious, talented people, and we’re committed to making YLD a place where great people want to work, grow, and stay.

We’re a remote-first consultancy specialising in software engineering, product design, and data. Our teams are based across London, Lisbon, and Porto, and we create digital solutions that continue to deliver value long after our work is done.

About the role:

As a Solutions Engineer at YLD, you'll embed with a banking client during a proof-of-value or implementation, turning their product requirements into working configuration on the client's platform. You'll sit between the client's regulated banking requirements and their live services, prove your work with captured evidence, and feed any platform friction back to the core engineering team.

Your day-to-day responsibilities can look like this:

  • Turn client requirements into transaction rules, event-driven workflows, and configuration on the client's platform;
  • Work closely with client teams in collaborative working sessions, explaining technical decisions and translating complex engineering concepts clearly;
  • Investigate API contracts and client tooling independently to get integrations working;
  • Debug issues that live in the client's platform rather than your own code, and file clean reproductions back to core engineering;
  • Work inside an AI-assisted development workflow as a matter of course, using it to move faster and keep quality high.

Preferred Skills:

  • Able to read Go code and follow how it works;
  • Fluency in fintech, core banking, or regulated financial services — you know the domain, not just the code;
  • Prior core-banking or ledger experience;
  • Experience with rules engines, workflow orchestration, or event-driven systems;
  • Familiarity with Kafka or similar event streaming platforms;
  • At home in an AI-assisted or agentic development workflow.

You should apply if you are:

  • Domain-fluent: you can talk banking and payments regulation and mechanics without needing a primer;
  • Proactive: you take ownership and move things forward without waiting to be asked;
  • A strong communicator: you express technical ideas clearly, in writing and in client-facing conversations, with full professional fluency in English;
  • Confident presenting: you bring a polished, engaged attitude to working sessions and stakeholder interactions;
  • Focused on quality: you care about doing things properly and hold yourself to a high standard;
  • Pragmatic: you make sensible trade-offs and deliver results in ambiguous, fast-moving environments;
  • A creative problem solver: you approach hard engineering challenges with curiosity and ingenuity;
  • Collaborative: you thrive on working within cross-functional, distributed teams and value others' input.

What you’ll get in return:

  • The chance to work with a forward-thinking, ethical, and fun group of people and to develop and grow your skills in a fast-moving business

Our typical recruitment process:

  • 1st Interview with a Talent Partner (30/45 mins)
  • Technical Interview with our Senior Developers (1h30)
  • Final chat with our Client Partner (30/45 mins)
