Job Description
The team you will be joining: Europe Risk and Controls
We're looking for a Backend Engineer to join our growing Europe Risk and Controls team in Budapest. The role is a unique opportunity to build robust, scalable, and error-free integrations with a variety of partners and providers across Europe, so our customers can send money across borders with minimal fuss and maximum confidence. We still cannot provide our services in Albania, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bosnia, Iceland, Macedonia, Moldova, Serbia. We are just getting started!
On the other hand, understanding the difference between existing markets across the continent is a huge challenge. Providing a truly local experience is even harder. We constantly experiment and iterate extremely quickly, validating dozens of different hypotheses at the same time. We work across the whole product - starting from building banking integrations and ending with research on why our customers recommend us to their friends. Being involved in the product life cycle is a huge part of being part of our team. We participate in our mobile engineering efforts - still plenty of opportunities to work on our iOS and Android apps.
Qualifications
What does it take?
- 4+ years of Java 11+ knowledge
- Experience with complex systems distributed across several microservices, kafka, scattered data and ownership
- Willingness to contribute in UI-related projects
- A strong product mindset and passion for user experience, you prioritise work with the customers in mind and make data-driven decisions to fix customer pain-points
- Strong problem-solving skills to help refine problem statements and figure out how to solve them with the available data and from first principles
- Ability to drive complex technical decisions and get buy-in from stakeholders, take ownership of difficult decisions, pushing back against bad ideas
- Hands on knowledge of system integration patterns
