About this role
What you will be doing:
Join the Transaction Monitoring Squad within the Risk Apps Tribe. We are a high-impact team responsible for a core defensive layer of the company: a real-time application that identifies and flags suspicious financial activities.
As a Software Engineer, you will:
Write Great Code. You’ll write maintainable, production-ready code for the "Mesh" platform, understanding that code is read more than it’s written.
Own Delivery. We are obsessed with shipping value; you will own software deliveries beyond just a pull request, driving the team's production roadmap.
Write and Own Your Tests. We maintain high standards for a critical product. You will be responsible for writing your own tests and ensuring maintainability; we do not rely on a separate QA team.
Full-Stack Collaboration. While focused on backend APIs and microservices, you will work closely with frontend engineers, product owners, and data scientists to design end-to-end solutions.
Continuous Growth. Participate in dedicated L&D days to sharpen your skills and share knowledge back with the team to improve our ways of working.
Our Tech Stack:
Our technology stack is designed to run on public cloud architectures, notably AWS and GCP.
Development is organised around Java, Kotlin and Python for our backend languages and TypeScript/ES6+React for our frontend stack.
We make substantial use of relational database technologies, notably Postgres.
We also use an event-sourced model powered by Kafka for our communication bus and gRPC for our intra-service communication protocol.
We use modern observability solutions from Grafana and deploy our code using ArgoCD.
We have a strong emphasis on engineering excellence and strive to ship the best possible code and the best possible solutions to our customers.
