Software Engineer (Java / Kotlin)
Location: Lisbon, Portugal
Department: Technology
What you will be doing:
Join the Transaction Monitoring Squad within the Risk Apps Tribe. We are a high-impact team responsible for a core defensive layer of the company: a real-time application that identifies and flags suspicious financial activities.
As a Software Engineer, you will:
- Write Great Code. You’ll write maintainable, production-ready code for the "Mesh" platform, understanding that code is read more than it’s written.
- Own Delivery. We are obsessed with shipping value; you will own software deliveries beyond just a pull request, driving the team's production roadmap.
- Write and Own Your Tests. We maintain high standards for a critical product. You will be responsible for writing your own tests and ensuring maintainability; we do not rely on a separate QA team.
- Full-Stack Collaboration. While focused on backend APIs and microservices, you will work closely with frontend engineers, product owners, and data scientists to design end-to-end solutions.
- Continuous Growth. Participate in dedicated L&D days to sharpen your skills and share knowledge back with the team to improve our ways of working.
Our Tech Stack:
- Our technology stack is designed to run on public cloud architectures, notably AWS and GCP.
- Development is organised around Java, Kotlin and Python for our backend languages and TypeScript/ES6+React for our frontend stack.
- We make substantial use of relational database technologies, notably Postgres.
- We also use an event-sourced model powered by Kafka for our communication bus and gRPC for our intra-service communication protocol.
- We use modern observability solutions from Grafana and deploy our code using ArgoCD.
We have a strong emphasis on engineering excellence and strive to ship the best possible code and the best possible solutions to our customers.
About you:
As a Software Engineer, you will have:
- Experience writing large scale production-grade applications.
- Worked in an agile environment and experience in pair programming.
- A firm commitment to writing your own tests as part of the development lifecycle.
- Experience working with cloud-based (AWS/Azure/GCP) or containerised infrastructure (Kubernetes/Docker/Jenkins).
Nice to haves:
- Deep understanding of Kafka and event-sourced models.
- Experience with Postgres or Yugabyte.
- Familiarity with Spring Boot, TypeScript, or gRPC.
Education:
- BSc/BA degree in computer science, engineering or related discipline OR relevant years of experience in required skills.
Benefits:
- Equity as we want you to have a part of what we are building
- Unlimited Time Off Policy- A work-life balance and focus on our well-being are critical to keeping us performing at our best
- We embrace a hybrid approach that requires employees to be in the office for two days a week. We strongly believe that this approach fosters collaboration and enables the building of meaningful relationships
- You will also get a new starter budget to kit out your home office
- Opportunity to work on innovative projects with smart-minded people keen to share their knowledge and continuously improve
- Annual learning budget (prorated based on start date) to drive your performance and career development
