Dear Hiring Manager, I am writing to apply for the Software Engineer role at your London team. Five years of building production fintech and product systems — most recently leading the core ledger at a London fintech handling £80M/day — have given me strong technical depth and the regulatory awareness that UK fintech work demands. My current role has me owning the ledger service, leading FCA audit-readiness work across three services, and running the engineering interview loop. I am comfortable in cross-functional product teams and have a track record of shipping high-stakes infrastructure on schedule. I have right to work in the UK and am open to hybrid (2-3 days/week in your London office) or fully remote within the UK. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss the role. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
