We are Banked:
We’re building a global, digital payments network, based on API access to highly secure banking rails, but free from the limitations of their decades old technology and cost model to support it.
Payments have so far missed out on the cost benefits that come from scale and the innovation potential of the digitisation of all other areas of our lives. With deep partnerships across the ecosystem we’re making real-time payments work for a digital world. We believe moving money + data together is an untapped source of innovation, and will change not only the way we buy things, but the way we live with more useful and relevant experiences. We believe it's what makes us different from other payment providers.
Senior Back End Platform Engineer at Banked
We're looking for someone who shares our vision, who identifies with our desire to reinvent payments.
You'll participate in the direction of the company and products, you'll be part of a small team where everyone has a voice.
As a Senior Back-End Platform Engineer at Banked you'll be building our core API products,back-end services and SDKs. You'll use Go and its ecosystem to deliver event driven, composable and distributed systems that can be consumed either directly by our customers or by other engineers at Banked. You'll also build resilient integrations with some of our external partners and their APIs, building the core functionality of our products.
We don't expect people to be experts with all of the technology we use or to immediately be able to pickup all the tasks we might ask of them. We want to build an environment where people can learn and grow openly, where failure is accepted as a part of learning and there's enough to support to help people be successful.
