UK mortgage and savings bank focused on non-standard lending and buy-to-let investors
Castle Trust Bank operates a lean, technology-enabled mortgage and savings platform built on Azure Synapse and Databricks, with active hiring across data, product, and operations. The pain-point list reveals infrastructure modernization pressure—strengthening technology foundations, optimizing the Azure data platform, and expanding digital capabilities—while maintaining complex lending workflows for buy-to-let and bridging products. The small but senior-weighted hiring cohort (8 roles, mix of lead and manager hires) suggests targeted capability gaps rather than broad growth.
