Backend Software Engineer

25 days off, plus public holidays, onboarding in our Dublin or London office. Equity - because you should own a piece of what you're building. Generous parental leave for primary and secondary caregivers. 60 days a year to work abroad from wherever you want.

You should be comfortable making and defending technical decisions, while remaining open to feedback and alternative approaches. You'll need to balance technical excellence with business needs and help guide the team toward pragmatic solutions.

You excel at stakeholder management and can effectively communicate technical concepts to non-technical audiences. You're proactive in identifying and addressing potential issues before they become problems.

We look for candidates with most or all of the below traits that can point to real experience applying them.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent practical experience

• 5+ years of professional experience in backend development with Python

• Strong proficiency in Django, or other Python API frameworks (e.g. FastAPI, Flask)

• Experience with SQL databases (preferably PostgreSQL) and ORM frameworks

• Knowledge of API design principles and microservices architecture

• Experience with AWS or similar cloud platforms

• Solid understanding of version control with Git

• Experience with testing frameworks (e.g., pytest, unittest)

• Understanding of security best practices and data protection

• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail

• Excellent communication abilities and proven track record of successful team collaboration

Given what we do, experience in financial services, fintech and business-to-business organisations is particularly interesting to us.

We assess businesses in minutes and send funds in as little as 24 hours. The systems that make that possible need to be fast, reliable, and built to scale as we grow into new markets.

Engineers here tend to grow in the direction they're most interested in - whether that's deepening technical specialism, moving into architecture, or taking on more cross-functional ownership as we scale.

• Design and develop scalable backend services using Python and Django, focusing on our core financial products

• Build and maintain RESTful APIs that power our customer-facing applications and internal tools

• Implement robust data models and database schemas to support our financial services infrastructure

• Write clean, testable code with comprehensive unit and integration tests

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to design and implement new features and improvements

• Optimize application performance and ensure high availability of our services

• Participate in code reviews and contribute to technical documentation

• Monitor and maintain production systems, ensuring reliability and security
