EY - Fintech Lab Engineer
The financial services industry continues to undergo a period of unparalleled change. Since the financial crisis, banks and financial institutions have been subject to more stringent regulation, increased supervision and ongoing global economic instability. These changes have come at a cost, prompting institutions to re-evaluate traditional ways of doing business. At the same time, rapid technological advances, including disruptive technologies and digital innovation, are increasing the pressure to maintain a competitive edge, adapt quickly and improve profitability.
The FinTech Lab gives financial services organisations direct access to the latest developments in agentic systems and artificial intelligence, helping them rapidly explore, validate and bring high-value business opportunities to market. We are looking for experienced software engineers who are aware of emerging trends and excited to help clients innovate.
