Job Description
We know that people want great value combined with an excellent experience from a bank they can trust, so we launched our digital bank, Chase UK, to revolutionise mobile banking with seamless journeys that our customers love.

Technologies:
- We primarily use Jvm based languages (Java/Kotlin) but we also have parts of the platform that use other languages as needed.
- We look to use Open source when it makes sense and build ourselves when it doesn't.
- We are entirely cloud native and want to build a truly multi-cloud solution.
- We look at each problem independently and pick the right technology to solve it.
