About Ozone API

Open finance is now a global phenomenon with markets around the world embracing this new model for a next generation financial services industry. It is changing the world, laying the foundations to drive economic growth, tackling financial inclusion and leading to unprecedented levels of innovation.

The Ozone API founding team met and started this journey whilst working together to lead the design and delivery of the open banking blueprint in the UK. We saw the huge potential, but also the significant technical challenge banks faced and so we built the Ozone API platform - designed to remove the complexity of open finance and help banks and financial institutions adapt to and thrive in this new world.

We’re a fast growing, dynamic technology company that is already global. Our technology leads the market and our expertise is unsurpassed. We’ve built an incredible team, but the fun is just beginning with open finance now happening all around the world. We’re growing quickly and are seeking people who are passionate about delivering real change, working in an organisation that is doing the right things and working really hard to do them in the right way.

Working for Ozone API

We’re a positive, cross-functional team of professionals who collaborate whilst trusting and respecting individual expertise.

If you’re decisive and imaginative, and if you thrive on making things happen as well as bringing out the best in others, you’ll fit right in. We have no time for deceptive delegators or politicians. We're in it together and we’re in it for the thrill of the journey.

This is a remote-first role, geared to a healthy work-life balance. At Ozone API, ‘flexible hours’ isn’t code for ‘all hours’, but you won’t be out of sight – we have office co-working spaces available and there will be periodic meetings and get-togethers.
