The Engineering Challenge

* Continuously learning and developing your skills in a supportive environment
Your Toolkit
* Hands-on experience with Kotlin (or Java) in a real-world setting
* Commitment to writing quality code, clean design and testing
* Curious, eager to learn and proactive in asking questions
* Enjoy solving problems and working in a collaborative team
* Desire to build things that have a real impact on customers
* Clear communication and willingness to contribute to team decisions
* Interest in modern engineering practices like CI/CD and cloud-native tools
Our Engineering Culture
* Customer impact over unnecessary complexity
* Team success over individual heroics
* Operational ownership, not just feature delivery
* Continuous improvement through honest feedback
Added Bonus
* Experience with fintech or banking is a plus, but we value problem-solvers from all backgrounds
