We move quickly, think boldly, and trust each other to challenge the norm, learning and growing as we go. If you’re looking for more than just your next job – if you want to build something impactful with a talented team – you’re in the right place.

What you’ll be doing

As a Software Engineer, Backend, you’ll play a key role in shaping the future of digital payments by designing and building scalable, high-quality systems. You’ll be delivering features, gaining deep system context, and growing your technical expertise. Here’s what your day-to-day will look like:

• Contribute to Technical Excellence: Conduct technical analysis for standard scope stories and implement robust, scalable back-end solutions

• Grow Technical Leadership: Begin to provide guidance and mentorship for peers and juniors, especially in technical implementation, while ensuring service/component-level technical vision is aligned with the roadmap.

• Ensure Quality and Stability: Accurately estimate effort and resolve blockers promptly. You will participate in resolving incident resolution including root cause analysis and prevention, ensuring technical transparency across your scope.

• Document and Communicate: Create comprehensive technical documentation for the features you build and collaborate with stakeholders

Expect challenges, collaboration, and the freedom to bring your ideas to life. Our tech stack includes (but it’s not limited to) PostgreSQL, Java, Spring Boot. We rely on AWS for our infrastructure, with microservices deployed on EC2/ECS, S3 for storage, AWS Lambda for serverless functions, and Kinesis and ElasticSearch for log streaming. You'll take ownership of your work from start to finish.

Who we’re looking for

We need a problem solver who is eager to learn, owns their work, and is ready to collaborate and to take real ownership. Does it sound like you?

• Experience & Technical Foundations: You have at least 3 years of industry experience working with Java and a foundational understanding of cloud platforms (AWS is a plus).

• Teamwork and Communication: You are able to communicate clearly and professionally, contributing to team-level knowledge sharing and building trust with peers.

• User Focus: Possesses an inherent desire to understand and address user needs, ensuring the back-end system supports a great user experience.

• Passion and Language Skills: You are passionate about FinTech or startup environments and fluent in English.
