📋 Engineering at Shine

At Shine, we are redefining how entrepreneurs—freelancers, self‑employed professionals, and SMEs—manage their banking, and administrative tasks. Through seamless tools and innovative accounting & banking solutions, we help them focus on what matters most: growing their businesses.

Our vision is to become the best friend of every small entrepreneur across Europe. 💚

Over the years, Shine has grown through the merging of top European FinTechs like Shine (🇫🇷), Kontist (🇩🇪), Tellow (🇳🇱), and more. Today, we’re a team of nearly 500 people, including 150 talented engineers, working together from Paris, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, and Berlin.

Our structure maximizes impact and ownership :

• Product teams develop core features for key business domains (invoicing, banking, accounting).
• Platform teams manage infrastructure and core services (Cloud, DevOps, Core APIs, developer tools).
• Data team builds data pipelines for engineering, modeling, and analytics.

You will join the Compliance & Risks team, which is responsible for detecting and combating fraud risks for Shine and its clients by leveraging the data we have. The goal is to implement pragmatic solutions to improve our clients' security. This can range from providing our fraud and AML (Anti‑Money Laundering and Counter‑Terrorism Financing) operators with effective tools and precise data so they can manually review sensitive transactions, to collaborating with technical teams to modify the behavior of certain features.
