Graduate Backend Engineer

Acre Software
London
Acre is rebuilding the UK's £1.4 trillion mortgage market from the ground up, with a completely new, end-to-end management system for mortgages.

Our platform cuts out the unnecessary admin, pain and friction from buying a home. We're covering the entire journey, from figuring out what you can borrow, to getting your keys. We're guided both by the voice of real home buyers and by our close relationships with brokers, lenders and insurers.

After a record-breaking 2023 with a 400% year-on-year increase in mortgage volume, we have continued our momentum by doubling our market share in 2024. As we go into 2025, we are continuing to onboard some huge names in the mortgage industry and are looking to expand our team.

Join our Engineering team to help us change the way people buy homes.

What you'll be doing:

As a key role within the engineering team you will be responsible for the design, implementation and testing of the backend components that empowers consumers, brokers and operational functions to efficiently manage the mortgage research and application process.

You will be expected to write reusable, testable and efficient code that is performant, stable and secure.

During our software development life cycle, you will be expected to work with the business as a whole, converting business requirements into development tasks as well as mentoring other team members.

You should be ambitious but also pragmatic when needed.

Who you will be:
  • Passionate about software engineering and about delivering a quality product.
  • Have an understanding and experience with backend technologies such as Go or C++.
  • Committed to using automated testing platforms and unit tests to deliver readable, maintainable code.
  • Have an understanding of deployment technologies and concepts
  • Have an understanding of issue management, code versioning, continuous integration and deployment tools.
What we offer:
  • A chance to make an impact within a high growth fintech start-up
  • Monthly team social events, from trips to Brighton to Picnics in the park
  • One week of free accommodation for those relocating
  • 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
  • Opportunity to earn equity through our EMI option scheme
  • Company laptop and supporting tech
  • Private healthcare and a cash plan
  • Pension contribution matched by Acre up to 4%
  • Cycle to work scheme
  • Breakfast, snacks and drinks provided in our vibrant Shoreditch office
We're looking for people that will get stuck in and make a difference. We have a great collaborative, entrepreneurial team that are passionate about what they do. If you want to join a team that is tackling a big problem space, then we'd love to hear from you.

We're eager to receive applications from all backgrounds, including from people of colour, the LGBTQ+ community, people with disabilities, neurodivergent people, parents, carers, and people from lower socio-economic backgrounds. If there's anything we can do to accommodate your specific situation, please let us know.
