Our Technology team builds the systems and experiences that keep Revolut moving. From the infrastructure behind our innovative app to the features used by millions of people around the world, they bring sharp thinking, speed, and a focus on meaningful impact to everything they do.

• Establishing and enforcing data standards, maintaining comprehensive documentation, and managing a company‑wide data registry
• Training and supporting users, and communicating platform updates and insights through various channels (dashboards, bots, etc.)
• Planning and executing organisation‑wide platform changes, ensuring consistent best practices for coding, testing, deployment, and maintenance
• Leveraging data to guide all aspects of engineering work, ensuring insight‑driven outcomes

What You'll Need

• A bachelor's or master's degree in computer science or related field, or equivalent practical experience
• Proficiency in Python, SQL, and Unix shell scripting
• Experience implementing agile software development best practices, including TDD, refactoring, CI/CD, and XP
• Demonstrated experience in custom ETL design, implementation, and maintenance, along with workflow orchestration using tools like Airflow
• Expertise in distributed data processing and query engines (e.g., Trino, Spark, Snowflake, BigQuery)

Nice to have

• Experience building large‑scale infrastructure applications and writing maintainable code in multiple programming languages
• Expertise in cloud (GCP, AWS), containerisation, and infrastructure as code (Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform)
• An understanding of modern data architecture with experience implementing data mesh principles
• Familiarity with notebook‑based data science workflows and proficiency in using monitoring and logging tools (NewRelic, Grafana, Prometheus, ELK)

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. That's why we encourage applications from people with diverse backgrounds and experiences to join this multicultural, hard‑working team.
