In this episode we discuss a variety of different topics that we have received requests to talk about on the podcast including the problems with updating the Starling app to handle multiple currencies and how we build and test the UX of new features. With Starling engineers Josh Cooke, Lucas Johnston, Teresa Ng, and your regular host Jason Maude.
In this episode we discuss company culture. When you’re running a startup bank do you adopt the culture of a bank or the culture of a startup? Can you do both - and if so how do you merge them? How can you maintain a dynamic working culture as you grow, and how does that affect your hiring practices? With Starling Head of People Operations Hessie Coleman, App Developer Teresa Ng, and your regular host Jason Maude.
In this episode we discuss how our banking app has been developed, and what we’ve learnt along the way. We look at the differences between an app designed to be the main portal to your current account and other apps that you might have on your phone. We also finally answer the question: Which is better and what are the differences?’ iOS or Android (or are they about the same)? With iOS Developer Zulfi Khan, Android Developer Teresa Ng, and your regular host Jason Maude.
