About Investa

Investa is building the UK’s first zero-commission Options and Stocks trading platform. Legacy platforms typically feature high fees and complex interfaces that cut out the majority of retail investors. We are building a streamlined alternative to fix that. Investa is the first FCA-regulated platform to offer completely free US share trading with no FX, no commission, and no other fees.

Our Traction So Far:

Our Mission: To democratise options trading for UK investors

Our Vision: Think Options, Think Investa

We are a lean, agile team where every employee directly shapes the business. We don't have a corporate way of working. Instead, we look for people who want high autonomy, care about making a visible impact, and align with our core values of being Collaborative, Curious, and Creative.

We are growing and looking for ambitious talent to help us democratise retail investing across the UK.

The Role

The Investa app was installed over 1,000 times within the first 24 hours of our priority access launch, and we’re now looking for a driven Software Engineer to join our founding engineering team as we scale.

Having passed the junior stage of your career, you bring over 3 years of commercial experience writing clean code and shipping features independently. In this role, you will take true end-to-end ownership of core platform features, work across our stack, and step outside your comfort zone to level up your technical depth alongside our talented engineering team of 4.

If you’re passionate about building best-in-class products to tackle complex financial challenges and you excel in a fast-paced, collaborative environment, we want to hear from you.

What the Role Involves

Your Background

On-call

All engineers at Investa participate in supporting our production applications. This involves responding to critical system events outside of working hours and ensuring our platform stays dependable.

What we offer:

Career Ownership & Impact: While we provide clear levels to grow into, you also have autonomy over your execution and your career trajectory. Your work impacts the business immediately without corporate red tape. You can choose whether you want to pave a path as a high-level individual contributor or step into management as we scale - you shape your career.

Collaboration & Proximity: You’ll work directly alongside our Co-Founders, Alec and Ross, and our founding engineers to co-author both the product roadmap and our engineering architecture. Because of our size, our culture is extremely personal. Everyone has firsthand insight into top-level strategy, cross-departmental exposure, and a direct voice in how we solve deep technical issues as we scale.

Creativity & Speed: We prioritise innovation through speed, agility, thinking outside the box, and resource-efficient solutions.

Shared Success & Equity: We are in this together. To ensure everyone benefits from our growth, every employee receives meaningful company EMI equity. Our success is your success.

The Package and Perks: Competitive base salaries, private medical insurance, team socials chosen by you, milestone celebrations, and hybrid flexibility.
