Responsibilities
- Building the backend behind customer-facing insights features — spending summaries, travel insights, and spend controls like budgets and recurring-payment tracking.
- Working across a high-throughput streaming and storage stack (Java/Spring Boot, Kafka, stream processing) to aggregate activity data accurately and serve it through low-latency, well-documented APIs.
- Improving categorisation accuracy so the numbers customers see are ones they trust.
- Owning components and flows end-to-end — through development, deployment, and running them in production, including the on-call rotation.
- Writing high-quality tests, clear documentation, and reviewing code to raise the bar across the team.
Requirements
- You deliver medium-sized backend projects independently and see them through the full lifecycle, drawing on the team for the toughest problems.
- Solid backend fundamentals and proficiency in your primary language (we work mainly in Java/Spring Boot), plus a good grasp of distributed-systems concepts like asynchronous communication and event streaming.
- You write well-tested, high-quality code and actively improve what's around you.
- You give and receive feedback openly and help build a collaborative, inclusive team.
- Nice to have (not essential): experience with Kafka, stream processing, or high-throughput low-latency services.
