Product Owner

We're making banking 10 times better.

Here at 10x Banking we believe banks are slowed down by their own legacy technology and we’re here to change that. Our community brings together banking industry knowledge with market-leading, next gen, cloud native technology required to move banking into the 21st century.

The biggest banks around the globe use our platform to power some of the world’s most innovative financial propositions. And to do this we’re building an engineering team that has the breadth of knowledge and experience we need to push our product forward.

We have headquarters in London and Sydney, but our 10x teams work around the globe with employees in Europe, Australia, Asia, Africa and all over the UK and Ireland.

Join us in our mission to transform banking for customers, banks and society!
