Summary
Peter Meckiffe is a Staff Software Engineer with 13 years’ experience building resilient, customer-focused systems across finance, cloud and research domains. He joined Zopa during its banking-license journey and has led product-critical efforts from instant pay-ins and open-banking integrations to a scalable investments servicing platform built on Kafka Streams and Postgres. His background includes low-level systems and tooling at IBM, container and security services, and a data-tracking project for CERN’s CMS experiment, reflecting comfort across C/C++, Python, JVM services and distributed systems. A musician-turned-developer, he brings a practical maker’s mindset—building side projects like React Native audio apps that force him to bridge native C/C++ audio streaming with JavaScript—so he understands both user needs and the native plumbing that enables them. Colleagues rely on him to choose the right tool for the job and iterate rapidly through prototyping and testing to deliver measurable customer value.
