Satispay began by rethinking the simple act of a payment to remove the friction from our daily routines. But we didn't stop there. Today, we are building a complete financial platform designed to empower people and concretely improve their lives. By giving our 6 million users a clear, open path to pay, save, and invest, we are evolving into the definitive destination for every financial need.
What you'll be doingAs a Software Engineer, Backend in the Core Team, you’ll play an important role in building and maintaining the backbone of our payment platform. You will be a key contributor to the technical quality and delivery of robust systems that support multiple services and product teams across the company. Here's what your day-to-day will look like:
Contribute to core platform domains: Help build, maintain, and scale our most sensitive systems—such as the Transaction Ledger, Identity & Access Management (IAM), or Payment Orchestration.
Develop risk & financial engines: Implement and optimise services dedicated to bank integrations, credit risk, and real-time fraud detection to protect our "source of truth."
Collaborate on technical solutions: Participate in technical analysis for new projects, engage in technical discussions, and contribute to high-quality documentation (Smart Papers).
Drive engineering quality: Ensure technical excellence by writing clean code, implementing rigorous testing strategies, and executing safe rollouts while resolving technical blockers.
Work in an AI-powered environment: Leverage AI tools daily to write and optimise code, speed up root cause analysis, and generate documentation to raise engineering efficiency.
Grow and collaborate: Work with senior engineers to elevate your architectural skills while supporting junior team members in adopting best practices for secure and reliable development.
We need a problem-solver who loves teamwork and gets things done. If you're curious and ready for real ownership, you'll fit in! Does this sound like you?
Experience: You have at least 3 years of experience as a Backend Engineer, with a proven track record of building and maintaining scalable microservices.
Technical Foundations: Deep expertise in Java and Spring Boot, with a solid understanding of distributed systems and external dependencies like banking APIs.
Cloud Awareness: Good exposure to cloud environments (AWS is a plus) and relational databases (PostgreSQL).
Reliability Mindset: You care deeply about system health, data integrity, and clean business logic, with comfort in debugging complex service issues.
Communication: You are able to communicate technical concepts clearly and collaborate effectively with both technical and non-technical peers.
Language proficiency: You are passionate about FinTech and fluent in English.
