# Back-End Engineer at TransferGo

- **Company:** TransferGo
- **Location:** Vilnius, Lithuania
- **Posted:** 2026-08-21
- **Last confirmed live:** 2026-09-08
- **Apply:** https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/transfergo/jobs/6148124004

## Job description

TransferGo is a growing fintech scale-up on a mission to champion financial freedom with care. We strive to provide tailored, more affordable financial services that make people's hard-earned money go further. Now in our 14th year, with close to 400 employees in offices across Europe and the UK, we’re crafting a brilliant, relevant product that makes a difference in people's lives and the well-being of their families.

We’ve come this far by building a talented, diverse workforce on a fair culture and our strong values. Having this strong team of employees, we can serve those who really need our product to make their lives better.

## Your team & impact

The DevEx team's customers are TransferGo's own engineers. We don't build product features directly — we improve the existing codebase, engineering tooling, and workflows to raise the productivity of every other engineering team, and we help enable AI adoption across engineering.

Here’s what you’ll be doing as Back-End Engineer:

- Develop and improve the existing monolith and microservice ecosystem.
- Improve code quality, performance, and maintainability of the codebase other engineering teams build on.
- Build and improve internal developer tooling and workflows.
- Resolve cross-team technical issues that block other engineers.
- Drive AI adoption — optimising engineering processes with AI tooling.
- Progressively pick up .NET as part of the stack evolution.

You’ll report to our Director of Engineering.

Here’s what we’d love from our new Back-End Engineer:

We don’t expect you to meet every single requirement listed. What matters most is your motivation, mindset, and ability to learn. If you’re excited about this role and think you could be a great fit, we’d really like to hear from you.

- Efficient with AI (Claude Code / Cursor)
- Large scale production experience either PHP or .NET stack
- Working with databases SQL/MySQL
- Dockerized environments Docker
- CICD flows GHA/Jenkins
- Service mindset — the "end customer" is a fellow engineer
- Strong ownership beyond their own lane
- Over-communicator comfortable working across many teams
- Adaptable and eager to learn new stacks.

And if you can also do this stuff, even better:

- TypeScript/web exposure
- Mobile app development exposure
- Cloud based environments AWS
- Kubernetes
- CloudFormation/Terraform
- DataDog

## What we believe

At TransferGo, we offer competitive rewards to all people. We know that recognition is about more than just money, and we’ve fostered a culture of kudos to shine a light on the great work throughout the business, and the people making it all happen. We hold regular in-person events to connect with each other and help all our TransferNauts to grow with a generous training allowance. We believe that empowering people makes for a happier and more effective workforce. This means we enable anyone who wants to pursue initiatives that deliver real value for our migrant customers.

What We Offer:

- Competitive Salary: Starting from 3,100€-4660€ (gross) per month, depending on experience. Salary is just one part of the conversation – if you’re excited about the role but the range feels slightly off, don’t hesitate to apply. We’re open to discussing based on your experience and potential.
- Comprehensive Benefits: Including a generous holiday allowance, competitive healthcare insurance, and a wellbeing package from day one.
- Annual Development Budget: €1,000 to invest in your personal and professional growth.
- Hybrid Working Environment: Flexibility to work from home and in the office, with most team members in the office two days a week.
- Pet-Friendly Office: If you’re near one of our offices, bring your furry friend along!
- Inclusive Culture: Regular in-person events, fostering a strong sense of community and collaboration.
- Empowerment and Ownership: We believe in empowering our people to take initiative and drive meaningful change.
