ABOUT THE ROLE Join a fintech engineering team building and scaling financial products and backend platform capabilities. You will help deliver reliable accounting and financial workflows that support how businesses manage money. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Own accounting integration projects from problem definition and technical design through launch, iteration, and ongoing operation. - Build reliable, scalable backend services for accounting and financial workflows, and support expansion into adjacent product areas. - Translate ambiguous product and business problems into simple, durable technical solutions. - Learn customers' accounting and financial operations needs and apply that context to product and engineering decisions. - Partner with Product, Design, Operations, Compliance, and external providers on complex initiatives. - Balance fast delivery with the reliability required for financial workflows and money movement. - Raise engineering quality through clear communication, system design, code quality, and mentorship. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - 5 to 10 or more years of experience building production backend systems, APIs, services, or distributed systems. - Strong product judgment, customer curiosity, and comfort working through ambiguity in fast-paced, high-growth environments. - Experience collaborating across technical and non-technical teams, including external partners. - Background in fintech, accounting, payroll, payments, banking, compliance-heavy products, or complex third-party integrations is valuable. - Experience with Python, Go, GraphQL, PostgreSQL, Docker, Kubernetes, or GCP is helpful, but an exact match is not required. - End-to-end project ownership is valuable, as is deep expertise in complex systems. COMPENSATION & BENEFITS Base salary is €70,000 to €95,000 annually. Benefits include private healthcare insurance for you and your family and generous paid time off.
