As a Senior Backend Engineer in the Global Bank tribe, you’ll play a key part in helping us build SumUp's own digital bank. You’ll be part of a global, autonomous, cross-functional team that can take an aspect of our product and perfect it from concept to execution.

The Transfers Core team is a cross-functional squad who are responsible for the general banking payments events base flow. We are transitioning from a localized setup with regional banks to a unified Global Bank. One of the main challenges will be to support the migration from a monolithic structure to Golang microservices. 

Joining our team gives you the opportunity to build a digital bank from the ground up within one of the world's most successful and fastest-growing fintech companies. Becoming a part of the Global Bank Tribe of +300 people who love to take ownership, work with purpose, and are building the number 1 bank for small businesses.

What you’ll do

  • Design, implement microservices and event based processing architecture solutions
  • Maintain and evolve the team core services - Transfers core squad
  • Participate in API design and implementation for both internal APIs and those exposed to our third-party integrators
  • Collaborate with other software developers, QA and DevOps engineers to ensure smooth deployment, continuous integration and support for the software we deliver
  • Help your team deliver business value by taking decisions related to the back-end and actively participate in product discussions and code reviews with other engineers
  • Build up a useful, robust automated test suite to support a Continuous Deployment environment
  • Collaborate with other software developers, QA and DevOps engineers to ensure smooth deployment, continuous integration and support for the software we deliver

  • Understand fundamental system architecture, design principles, data modeling, and API design (RESTful services).
  • Experience with CI / CD approach.

  • Belief that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts; you rely on others’ feedback for continuous improvement
  • Strong problem solving skills and interest in functional programming
  • You are fluent in English - you'll be part of a truly global company!
