Founding Engineer, London

About Marloo

Marloo is building the AI partner for financial advisers. Advisers focus on clients while Marloo handles the rest.

They guide people through the most important decisions of their financial lives and the software built for them has never been worthy of that. We intend to build the company that changes it and to become the system every advice firm in the world runs on.

In under a year we have onboarded more than 1,000 paying firms across eight countries with almost zero churn. Revenue is growing 37% month on month on average. In May we raised a $10m seed led by Blackbird Ventures. Blackbird was the first and largest investor in Canva.

We are at an inflection point. Join now and you will help shape the future of advice.

What you'll do

Full-stack development

Build and own core product features end-to-end. You'll work across the stack, from backend infrastructure to frontend experiences, with a bias toward shipping fast and iterating.

Architecture ownership

Establish foundational patterns and technical decisions that will scale with the company. You'll be the codebase authority and shape the engineering culture.

Product collaboration

Work directly with founders to translate user needs into technical solutions. Your business acumen and product intuition matter as much as your coding ability.
