About the role

Our Technology team isn’t just one of the best in the industry. It's one of the best in the world. And we’re proud of it. It’s our driving force — our engine

We’re looking for a Backend Engineer who wants to change the world. If you like to work at a steady pace with no surprises, keep scrolling. If you want your work to change the global financial landscape, you might be just who we’re looking for. We have a minimalist approach to using external frameworks, with an emphasis on maintainability and fast turnaround with TDD, DDD, and Continuous Integration & Delivery.

Our technology stack:

• Java 17, Kotlin
• SparkJava, Javalin
• GCP, Kubernetes, Grafana, Prometheus, NewRelic
• PostgreSQL, Redis
• JOOQ, Flyway
• RSocket

----------

Building a global financial super app isn’t enough. Our Revoluters are a priority, and that’s why in 2021 we launched our inaugural D&I Framework, designed to help us thrive and grow everyday. We're not just doing this because it's the right thing to do. We’re doing it because we know that seeking out diverse talent and creating an inclusive workplace is the way to create exceptional, innovative products and services for our customers.
