About us
Traditional banking has never really given you control over your financial life. Satispay exists to change that: to empower people through finance.
That means making financial services easy and accessible for over 6.5M users. We started with payments, then benefits, investing, cards... and we’re not done. Not even close. We follow the same logic every time: find a real problem, solve it properly, then look for the next one. The destination? To build the most loved financial platform in the world.
If you own outcomes rather than tasks, stay close to what users need, and refuse to wait for someone else to fix what's broken — you'll find people here who work exactly in the same way. And together, you'll build something worth being proud of.
What you'll be doing
As our Backend Software Engineer II - Consumer Growth Domain, you'll play a key role in shaping the future of digital payments by designing and building scalable features that drive user growth, reduce friction for new users, and create sustainable value for our community.
Here's what that looks like in practice:
- Contribute to the Story Lifecycle - Work closely with senior engineers to design, develop, and release robust product stories, taking responsibility for your features from local development to production.
- Accelerate Activation & Trust - Build and optimize the high-reliability systems behind onboarding, document verification, and security flows, ensuring users can start transacting safely within minutes.
- Drive Engagement & Discovery - Enhance the app experience by developing core backend services for shop discovery, transaction management, and personalized consumer journeys through CRM integrations.
- Scale Loyalty & Monetization - Contribute to our "Plus" subscription plans, referral programs, and loyalty mechanics (points and rewards), building the technical foundation for long-term user retention.
- Master a Modern Tech Stack - Take ownership of our AWS-based infrastructure (EC2/ECS, S3, Lambda, Kinesis) and participate in architectural improvements across our growth-focused microservices.
- Work in an AI-Powered Environment - Leverage AI tools daily to write and optimize code, speed up root cause analysis, and generate documentation, raising the bar for engineering efficiency.
- Ensure Quality and Stability - Write clean, testable code, participate in code reviews, and assist the team in incident resolution and root cause analysis to maintain high system health.
- Collaborate & Document - Write clear technical documentation for your features and sync with Product and Stakeholders to keep your work aligned with the team roadmap.
Who we're looking for
This role needs someone who is a dynamic problem-solver excited about scaling a user base and building seamless digital experiences.
- Experience - At least 1 year of experience as a Backend Engineer, with a strong track record of building and maintaining scalable microservices in fast-paced environments.
- Technical Foundations - Solid expertise in Java and Spring Boot, with a good understanding of relational databases (PostgreSQL) and cloud environments (experience/passion for GenAI-driven features like LLMs, LangGraph, or AWS Bedrock is a value-add).
- Growth Mindset - Deep care for performance and user experience, understanding how small technical improvements in onboarding or loyalty flows impact millions of users.
- Reliability & Documentation - Structured approach, enjoying writing clear technical documentation, and focusing on building maintainable, high-quality code.
- Teamwork and Communication - Excellent cross-functional collaboration skills and ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical peers.
- Passion and Language Skills - Passionate about FinTech, user growth, or startup environments and fluent in English.
Don't worry if you don't tick every box. We believe in the power of different viewpoints and strengths. Your unique perspective is important as we build something special: if you're passionate and can make a difference, we truly encourage you to apply.
