About us

Satispay began by rethinking the simple act of a payment to remove the friction from our daily routines. But we didn't stop there. Today, we are building a complete financial platform designed to empower people and concretely improve their lives. By giving our 6 million users a clear, open path to pay, save, and invest, we are evolving into the definitive destination for every financial need.

What you'll be doing

You will be a key contributor to the technical quality and delivery of robust systems that support multiple services and product teams across the company. Here's what your day-to-day will look like:

• Develop risk & financial engines: Implement and optimise services dedicated to bank integrations, credit risk, and real-time fraud detection to protect our "source of truth."

• Collaborate on technical solutions: Participate in technical analysis for new projects, engage in technical discussions, and contribute to high-quality documentation (Smart Papers).

• Drive engineering quality: Ensure technical excellence by writing clean code, implementing rigorous testing strategies, and executing safe rollouts while resolving technical blockers.

• Work in an AI-powered environment: Leverage AI tools daily to write and optimise code, speed up root cause analysis, and generate documentation to raise engineering efficiency.

• Grow and collaborate: Work with senior engineers to elevate your architectural skills while supporting junior team members in adopting best practices for secure and reliable development.

Who we're looking for

We need a problem-solver who loves teamwork and gets things done. If you're curious and ready for real ownership, you'll fit in! Does this sound like you?

• Experience: You have at least 3 years of experience as a Backend Engineer, with a proven track record of building and maintaining scalable microservices.

• Technical Foundations: Deep expertise in Java and Spring Boot, with a solid understanding of distributed systems and external dependencies like banking APIs.

• Cloud Awareness: Good exposure to cloud environments (AWS is a plus) and relational databases (PostgreSQL).

• Reliability Mindset: You care deeply about system health, data integrity, and clean business logic, with comfort in debugging complex service issues.

• Communication: You are able to communicate technical concepts clearly and collaborate effectively with both technical and non-technical peers.

• Language proficiency: You are passionate about FinTech and fluent in English.
