Senior Software Engineer Full Time

Story Terrace Inc.
We go FullCircl

FullCircl was formed in 2021 following the merger of Artesian Solutions and DueDil. In September 2023, FullCircl acquired W2 Global Data Solutions. Backed by top-tier investors, including Octopus Investments, Notion Capital, Augmentum Fintech, and notable angel investors such as Dr. Steve Garnett (EMEA Chairman SFDC), FullCircl has solidified its position in the industry.

The acquisition of W2, a specialist compliance and fraud platform, has enabled FullCircl’s identity solutions products to mature and penetrate new regulated markets. This expansion has extended FullCircl’s reach into both KYC and KYB. Over the past two years, we have more than doubled in size and are now a scaled business that has been profitable since early 2022.

FullCircl connects the insight you need when it matters most. We partner with more than 500 of the UKs leading banks, insurers and FinTech to deliver market leading insight on their business customers. Clients use our product to solve three mission critical business challenges, namely how to: identify & acquire, verify & onboard and retain & grow customers.

Our web applications and APIs are now used by more than 15,000 end users in large clients including Barclays, Lloyds, NatWest , and Aon , as well as powering digital journeys for high growth challengers such as Tide, GoHenry, Mettle, Caxton , and hundreds more.

Having established a roster of blue-chip enterprise clients in the UK, FullCircl is now looking to expand its reach through continued investment in the platform and exciting partnerships with category leading vendors including Acturis, nCino and IDNow.
