Lead Python Developer at OctopusLabs (London, UK)

The Company:

Octopus Labs is not your typical financial services company. We want to change the world of finance for the better, with easy-to-use products and services that help people to manage their money. We combine established financial expertise with cutting-edge technology to build smart, simple and disruptive fintech solutions– like Octopus Choice and Octopus Cash. Octopus Labs is part of the Octopus Group, which seeks to improve the lives of millions of people by transforming the industries we operate in. The Octopus Group incorporates Octopus Energy, Octopus Healthcare, Octopus Investments, Octopus Property, Octopus Ventures and Octopus Labs.

Following on from earlier successes with Octopus Choice and Octopus Cash, we are now developing our new start-up company Octopus Wealth, using tech and modern ways of working to exploit the opportunity that greenfield provides to transform the wealth management industry. We’re a team of Financial Service professionals, product managers and developers with backgrounds that span tech companies, financial service titans and the wider start up scene. We are being backed by the Octopus Group which in effect de-risks the start-up significantly, and are based in Farringdon in London.
