Staff Software Engineer

About the role

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 Staff Software Engineer, you'll define the long-term technical vision for one of our domains, architecting complex subsystems that power our features and leading efficient initiatives that directly empower millions of users to reach their financial goals.

Here's what that looks like in practice:

- Define Technical Strategy - Architect complex subsystems that power our features, with cross-product considerations, leading efficient initiatives impacting multiple groups.

- Advance the Architecture - Design and build scalable, high-quality systems that solve complex financial engineering problems, including managing and simplifying the most complex back-end systems.

- Technical Thought Leadership - Build cross-organizational relationships to drive technical alignment, represent the technical vision externally and internally, and stay ahead of emerging technology trends in FinTech.

- Develop Talent - Develop the next generation of technical leaders and champion a culture of high-quality engineering and continuous improvement.

- Generate Impact - Play a vital role in helping users reach their financial goals through your contributions to the back-end infrastructure, directly contributing to Satispay's mission.

Our tech stack includes (but it’s not limited to) PostgreSQL, Java, Spring Boot. We rely on AWS for our infrastructure, with microservices deployed on EC2/ECS, S3 for storage, AWS Lambda for serverless functions, and Kinesis and ElasticSearch for log streaming. You'll take ownership of your work from start to finish.

Who we're looking for

This role needs someone who is a visionary problem-solver, who excels in cross-team collaboration with deep expertise.

- Extensive Experience - At least 7 years of related experience in back-end software engineering, with a proven track record of architecting and maintaining microservices in a high-paced environment, building high-throughput systems capable of serving millions of users with high availability.

- Tech Expertise - Deep experience working with Java and a strong understanding of cloud platforms (AWS is a plus), capable of handling the most complex technical challenges.
