A techie, a car and a whole lot of life admin - Pujitha Prasad Pidikiti shares her story of moving country and joining Marshmallow When Pujitha moved from Hyderabad to London for a master’s, she never planned to stay long. But like all great tech bugs, life had other ideas. From dodging mysterious MOT requirements to navigating British small talk and software bugs, she’s now an Engineering Manager at Marshmallow, helping others tackle the very chaos she once faced. 🚗She bought her first car. 🧾She battled admin that would make most people cry. 💻She now builds tech to make that admin easier for others. Her story is funny, warm, and deeply relatable, especially if you’ve ever arrived in a new country with dreams (and zero idea how to register for council tax). ➡️Read her blog here: https://lnkd.in/d9SpFbVZ
Two weeks ago we hosted our Tech Ambition Day in London 🎉 Ambition Day is a chance for everyone to step away from the day-to-day, learn something new and connect to our mission. This year we brought Marshmallowers from our London & Budapest offices together for the first time, and we were lucky enough to hear from speakers across a range of topics; how to scale into multi-product (with Mike Hudack), what it means to be part of a high performing team (with Beth Tweddle MBE), and how AI is going to change the way we work and serve our customers (with Sierra). We’ve got huge ambitions to build financial products that make migration easier, and we’re going full steam ahead. We’ve got an amazing team, but we need more Marshmallowers to make it happen - if you’re looking for your next challenge, check out our open roles 👀 https://lnkd.in/dAcpGVT hashtag#Marshmallow hashtag#LifeatMarshmallow hashtag#sierra hashtag#multiproduct hashtag#highperformingteams hashtag#artificialintelligence
🚨Latency creeping up… costs skyrocketing… fraud detection under pressure… what do you do? 🚨 At Marshmallow, we hit that exact moment — our fraud prevention service was straining under growth, and our old tech stack just couldn’t keep up. So our engineers did what they do best: got creative, tested bold ideas (some that flopped!), and ultimately shipped a new system that’s faster, cheaper, and more reliable. In our latest engineering blog post, written by Gabor Kondor, we take you behind the scenes: ✅Why our original setup hit its limit ✅What we tried (and why some of it didn’t work) ✅How a hackathon sparked the breakthrough ✅The real-world rollout — shadow mode, data migration, and all ✅What we learned from the whole adventure Oh, and we cut query times from multiple seconds to under 100ms 🚀 Read the full story here ➡️https://lnkd.in/d-iTXBMw If you’re an engineer who loves solving tricky problems at scale — we’re hiring!

Earlier this month, a brave bunch took part in the Inflatable 10k Run, yes, that’s a real thing! Think bouncy castles, giant obstacles, and the kind of cardio that leaves you breathless… from laughing (and maybe a little from running). We joined our amazing charity partner Breaking Barriers, who do incredible work supporting refugees in the UK to find meaningful employment and build new lives through training, education, and 1:1 career support. 🥳 Together, we’ve raised £1,927.58 so far, and counting! That money goes directly to helping refugees get access to job opportunities, English classes, career coaching, and so much more. It’s impact with every bounce!

Big news from Marshmallow HQ - we've just raised $90M in our Series C! 🎉 A huge thank you to our incredible team, past and present, for getting us here. Our growth over the last few years is all thanks to you, and we can't wait to see what we achieve together next. This raise is a big milestone for us, but we're only just getting started. Until now, we’ve been focused on providing car insurance for people who move to the UK. But there are still major barriers in the financial services space that make it harder for newcomers to settle and take part in everyday life. This raise means we can invest in building more products to solve more migrant problems, and we're starting right now.
🚀Big news - we’ve been named one of the 100 fastest-growing startups in the UK & Ireland! This is just the beginning, with 2025 shaping up to be our biggest year yet. A huge thank you to everyone who’s been part of our journey so far - we're super excited for the next chapter and all of the opportunities ahead. And we’re in great company — check out the full list here: 🔗https://bit.ly/uki-sifted-leaderboard #SiftedLeaderboards #Sifted100
