We are seeking a Senior Backend-focused Engineer to play a crucial part in our API team. In this role, you will be working on scaling our main web application and developing tooling and processes to empower Ebury product teams to ship amazing features efficiently and independently while maintaining a unified, usable experience for our customers.

We’re looking for the right attitude, work ethic, and entrepreneurial spirit to ask the hard questions. To be informed by data, but be led by a desire to solve our customers' problems.

You should be programming language, framework, and tool agnostic but have strong opinions (weakly held) on the right tool to solve our biggest problems.

Responsibilities:

- Contribute to the development of the next iteration of our platform channels, collaborating both in the development and delivery of new products but also in the improvement and maintenance of existing ones

- In line with our 'You build it, you own it' philosophy, we expect you to take full ownership of the products you build, embracing both their development and ongoing maintenance
- We look for developers that can build and run services. Therefore, you will be comfortable with containerising your code, and adding monitoring and alerting to your services
- Quality is important to us; we expect your code to be testable and well covered with unit and integration tests
- We use CI/CD pipelines and IaC tools for the deployment of services and infrastructure. From time to time, you might need to contribute to it
- Mentor junior engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence, continuous learning, collaboration and innovation, while setting an example of culture and performance
- The position may require being on-call at times

About you:

- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or related field (or equivalent experience)
- 5+ years of software development experience, with a proven track record of building high-performance, client-facing web applications
- Knowledge of basic algorithms, object-oriented and functional design principles, and best-practice patterns
- Experience with Python, Django, PostgreSQL, Redis, RestAPIs
- Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS
- Experience with IAM framework and related tools like Keycloak
- Strong understanding of system architecture, API design, and building scalable services, including incorporating monitoring, alerting, and integrating complex external systems.
- Strong knowledge of Linux systems, cloud infrastructure, networking, and databases
- Proficient understanding of code versioning with Git
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills in English for seamless international teamwork

What we offer:

- Competitive salary and benefits package
- Discretionary bonus based on performance
- Continued personal development through training and certification
- We are Open Source-friendly, following Open Source principles in our internal projects and encouraging contributions to external projects
