Associate Product Engineer

About Allica Bank

Allica is the UK’s fastest growing company - and the fastest-growing financial technology (Fintech) firm ever. Our purpose is to help established SMEs, one of the last major underserved opportunities in Fintech.

Established SMEs are the backbone of local communities - representing over a third of our economy - yet have been largely neglected both by traditional high street banks and modern fintech providers.

Department Description

This role sits within the Payments Tribe, which has built Allica’s current account for established SMEs, combining modern technology with a best-in-class customer experience.

The tribe is responsible for payments, current accounts, and savings propositions, and plays a critical role in enabling secure and seamless financial operations for our customers. Technology sits at the centre of Allica. We design and build the platforms that power the bank, working closely with Product, Risk, Compliance, and Operations to deliver meaningful outcomes.

Our teams move quickly, take ownership end-to-end, and operate without the burden of legacy systems. Within this context, Financial Crime is a critical and fast-evolving problem space. We are building modern, data-driven fraud capabilities to protect our customers and the bank, increasingly leveraging machine learning and AI techniques alongside traditional controls to stay ahead of evolving threats.
