Senior Software Engineer (Fincrime)

London Office - Hybrid: 4 days in the office, 1 day working from home

The FinCrime Core team is responsible for Ebury's AML (Anti-Money Laundering) platform. We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to help us build and maintain high-reliability, low-latency systems that directly impact our regulatory compliance. In this role, you will work on mission-critical features, including real-time sanctions screening and transaction monitoring, ensuring that Ebury maintains the highest standards of safety and auditability in a regulated global environment.

Responsibilities

Contribute to the development of our AML platform's services, focusing on high reliability and scalability for real-time sanctions screening and transaction monitoring. You will be responsible for both delivering new features and improving/automating existing ones.
Collaborate with your team members and engineering leaders to design complex event-driven services (using Kafka/SNS/SQS) and components using our Request For Comments (RFC) process.
Coach and mentor less experienced team members, positively changing the trajectory of the team and serving as a technical escalation point for critical compliance issues.
Lead product initiatives from discovery to delivery, working closely with product and compliance teams to ensure business requirements are translated into robust, audit-ready technical solutions.
In line with our "You build it, you own it" philosophy, we expect you to take full ownership of the products you build, embracing both their development and ongoing maintenance in a regulated, high-availability environment.

About You

Extensive experience developing complex software systems, specifically for high-volume, low-latency environments. We mainly work with Python, but strong OOP fundamentals are what matter most.
Adept at both constructing and managing services, with proficiency in establishing standard APIs, implementing observability (logging, metrics, alerting), and integrating external systems.
Experience with event-driven architectures and Kafka.
A quality-first mindset: your code should be testable and well-covered with unit and integration tests. We use CI/CD (Jenkins/GHA) and Terraform for deployment, and you may need to contribute to these workflows from time to time.
A strong mindset for system resilience, with experience designing fault-tolerant architectures, handling graceful degradation, and implementing recovery patterns to ensure uptime in high-stakes environments.
Since you will work side by side with colleagues from different countries, you can communicate clearly and concisely in English, both written and spoken.

Nice to Have

Experience in regulated industries (FinTech, banking, payments)
Understanding of AML/KYC processes and compliance requirements
Familiarity with third-party screening or monitoring providers.
