Software Engineer

• Build, test, and operate services within the Boarding platform, following the "you build it, you run it" mindset

• Work largely independently on team-scoped tasks, seeking guidance from senior teammates and your manager on ambiguous or cross-team topics

• Adapt quickly when priorities shift, re-plan your own work, communicate impact, and keep delivery moving without needing to be told twice

• Take ownership of your commitments: proactively surface risks/blockers, follow through to completion, and hold yourself accountable for outcomes, not just output

• Write testable, decoupled, readable code; write tests across the pyramid (unit → integration); use our observability stack to understand and improve the services you own

• Participate in incident response for your team's services, using runbooks and systematic debugging; contribute to blameless postmortems

• Collaborate closely with peers, other Boarding squads, and stakeholder teams (Compliance, Product, Risk); share knowledge and give/receive feedback openly

• Bring energy and curiosity to the team, someone others enjoy pairing with and are inspired by

• Self-driven and with a high sense of ownership/drive - you take a well-defined task and run with it

• Comfortable with changing priorities; you re-prioritise your own work without losing momentum or morale

• Strong sense of ownership - you follow through, and you don't wait to be asked twice

• An engaging, inspiring presence in the team - someone who lifts the energy of the room

• 3–5 years of hands-on software engineering experience, ideally with some payments/fintech exposure

• Java, Spring Boot, REST APIs

• Event-driven microservice architecture (SQS/SNS/Kinesis or similar)

• AWS cloud fundamentals (EKS, DynamoDB, or equivalent managed services)

• Testing across the pyramid; comfortable with TDD

• Observability tooling (Datadog or equivalent) - can read dashboards/alerts and act on them

• Nice to have: Terraform/IaC exposure, payments or KYC/compliance domain background, hands-on use of AI tools in the SDLC

• We offer a hybrid structure with a 3 days / week on site expectation, so you can strike the balance between office and home working. In addition to our 30-day holiday allowance, we also provide a work from abroad policy, enabling employees to work remotely for up to another 30 days per year.

• Because better safe than sorry - we want our employees to benefit from various insurances including accident insurance, disability insurance, direct insurance (bAV) and travel insurance.

• PPRO helps contribute towards the costs of your gym membership, supporting your physical fitness journey while easing the burden on your wallet

• We’ve teamed up with a top well-being platform to provide one-on-one therapy, chat therapy, therapist-led courses, guided meditations, and more.

• Because work is better with your paw-tners by your side
