Your Mission

Build the ultimate gateway to our ecosystem. Designing, scaling, and maintaining the critical systems responsible for safely and efficiently onboarding millions of users across Europe will be your primary focus, all while adhering to strict financial regulations. In this role, tackling complex architectural challenges—such as integrating with cutting-edge third-party identity providers and orchestrating real-time compliance workflows—goes hand in hand with collaborating closely with our Product, Legal, and FinCrime teams to turn complex regulatory requirements into smooth, automated user experiences.

What you’ll do

Your day-to-day responsibilities will involve designing and developing scalable, resilient, message-driven services using Java to manage complex user verification pipelines.

Writing clean and correct code with high test coverage is essential as we continuously deploy into an event-driven microservices architecture.

Integrating cutting-edge third-party tools will require taking ownership of our connections with global KYC providers, video-identification services, and AML screening databases.

Ensuring a seamless onboarding experience means optimizing our backend systems to minimize user friction while maintaining absolute regulatory compliance and system reliability.

Close collaboration with cross-functional teams, such as Product Managers, Compliance Officers, and security experts, will be key to rapidly adapting to changing regulatory landscapes.
