We're building for the long term, so we provide the tools you need, processes you can rely on, and a balanced work environment to help you do work you're proud of. Sound like your kind of place? Let's build together.
Your impact
Mollie is building its next strategic frontier — turning our unique data assets into an intelligence offering that transforms us from a financial toolkit into an indispensable growth partner for our merchants. As an Application Engineer II on the Data Intelligence Products team, you'll be at the centre of that mission: productising Mollie's data to deliver cross-domain, customer-facing capabilities — from actionable business insights and performance benchmarking, to payment optimisation and adaptive fraud protection.
This is a high-ownership, entrepreneurial role in a small, fast-paced team operating in a true "zero to one" environment. Your work will be highly visible to senior leadership and will directly shape how Mollie wins and retains upmarket merchants. You'll have the freedom to take ideas from concept to production quickly, building the foundational platform and launching features that span the full breadth of Mollie's product surface — giving merchants the enterprise-grade analytics, monitoring, and optimisation tools they need to drive conversion, protect revenue, and grow with confidence.
What you'll ship
Transform internal data into customer-facing products — shifting focus from internal operations to merchant-facing utilities that drive real business outcomes
Build and launch features within Mollie's Insights product and expand into payment conversion optimisation, applying data-intensive engineering to core payment systems
Design and deliver reliable, performant architectures capable of operating at high scale and high transaction intensity
Contribute to the foundational platform that powers Mollie's data intelligence offering across fraud protection, benchmarking, and analytics
Collaborate with engineers, product managers, and senior leadership to shape the product as you build it — from idea through to production
What you'll bring
5+ years of experience developing large-scale backend applications, with strong proficiency in Java (primary requirement); experience with PHP, Go, C#, or Python is also valued
Proven experience designing systems that handle queuing, caching, concurrency, fault tolerance, and scalability in high-volume, high-intensity environments
Experience working with data-intensive systems, ML infrastructure, or analytics platforms — you don't need to build models, but you understand data and how to engineer around it
A product-first mindset — you think in terms of merchant outcomes like conversion, revenue, and protection, not just technical elegance
Excellent communication skills and the ability to work effectively across engineering, product, and business stakeholders in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment
An Always Be Shipping mentality — consistently delivering value where speed and quality go hand in hand
Grow your way
At Mollie, growth is personal. We believe everyone should have the chance to develop their skills, explore new challenges and shape their career on their own terms.
You'll get regular feedback and performance reviews to support your development, with fair and transparent salary reviews along the way. Many Mollies move into new roles or take on new projects to stretch themselves, and we actively hire from within to help you take the next step.
No matter if you're aiming for promotion, exploring a different career path or building new skills, you'll be supported with the tools, trust and opportunities to grow your way.
