This is a remote position.
CreatePay is building its Payment Facilitator (PayFac)/Acquiring platform and is looking for a hands-on, experienced Software Engineer to take full ownership across design, build, and delivery. This is not a traditional engineering role — there is no rigid separation between engineering and product. You will work directly alongside the CTO as a technical peer: shaping the core platform architecture, challenging thinking, and making decisive calls. You will be expected to define problems, shape solutions, and execute independently in a fast-moving payments and fintech environment.
From day one you will be a key voice in defining the technical domain, bringing the depth of experience needed to set credible architectural direction and drive outcomes without dependency on external product managers. You will own end-to-end delivery across distributed systems, integrations, data, and infrastructure.
This is an excellent opportunity for a seasoned engineer who has been there before — someone who can walk into an early-stage environment, provide immediate technical credibility, and help the CTO build a platform and team that scales.
- £50,000 – £70,000 base salary, depending on experience
Equity / options — a stake in the business
Significant scope to grow the role and take on broader platform/infrastructure leadership as CreatePay scales
Hybrid working (likely 1 day a week in the office in Milton Keynes)
Please note, this position is only suitable for candidates who currently live in and are eligible to work in the UK. CreatePay is an equal opportunities employer, and we welcome applications from candidates with non-traditional career paths where the experience is demonstrably there.
