Back-End Developer

A global leader in FinTech is building a brand-new Engineering team and is looking for experienced Senior Software Engineers (Backend) to join them. They’re hiring across all levels, including Senior Engineers, Staff Engineers, Principal Engineers, even Team Leads.

This is an opportunity to work on deeply technical, innovative solutions as part of a collaborative, distributed team. If you’re a skilled developer who thrives on building high quality systems and mentoring others, this could be the perfect role for you.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Taking ownership of platform services, contributing to the development and delivery of new products, and improving existing ones through automation.
• Leading projects from start to finish, collaborating with product and operations teams to ensure alignment.
• Supporting less experienced colleagues, helping them develop their skills while improving the overall effectiveness of the team.
• Tackling technical debt by maintaining legacy systems and proposing enhancements once you’re familiar with the workflows.
• Following a ‘You build it, you own it’ approach, taking full responsibility for the solutions you deliver, including their ongoing maintenance.

What They’re Looking For

• Extensive experience in developing complex systems, ideally using Python, though experience with other OOP languages is also valued.
• Clear and concise communication skills in English, both written and verbal, for working with a diverse team.
• Strong skills in managing services, designing standard APIs, implementing monitoring systems, and integrating external platforms.
• Confidence in working with legacy code, with a proactive attitude towards suggesting and implementing improvements.
• A commitment to writing quality code, supported by unit and integration tests. Experience with CI / CD pipelines (Jenkins) and infrastructure as code (Terraform) is an advantage.
• Experience of working within Financial Services on similar products is also an advantage.

Why Join This Team?

• Be part of a company that’s leading innovation in FinTech, with exciting plans for 2025 and beyond.
• Help shape a brand new Engineering team, laying the groundwork for ongoing success.
• Join an internal group focused on building a supportive, equitable workplace within the Technology Team.
