We are looking for a driven, talented Senior Software Engineer to help us build our SaaS-based anti-money laundering solutions, which help organisations fight financial crime! We are building cutting-edge solutions that help reveal the truth for a safer world and stop money from ending up in the hands of criminals. 

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will: 

  • Be working alongside our ML engineers, data scientists, and other software engineers within the Risk Apps tribe
  • Build new features that enable our customers to find out who has done something bad, what they did, when and to determine the risk they may pose
  • Join one of our squads and help us make the right technical and architectural decisions as we evolve and scale our systems. As a Senior, we will look to you to sometimes take a lead in these discussions and bring your own ideas as well as solicit and incorporate ideas from others in the team
  • Be a product engineer defining,  agreeing and delivering solutions from start-to-finish following best practices
  • Coach others in the team, sharing best practices and mentoring them

Our Tech Stack:

  • Our technology stack is designed to run on public cloud architectures, notably AWS and GCP
  • Development in Risk Apps is organised around Kotlin for our backend languages and TypeScript/ES6+React for our frontend stack
  • We make substantial use of relational database technologies, notably Postgres and also use of large scale noSQL technologies at a large scale
  • We have also built a complex event-sourced model powered by Kafka for our communication bus using gRPC for our intra-service communication protocol to facilitate our data ingest and processing needs
  • We use modern observability solutions built on Grafana Cloud, and deploy our code using ArgoCD

About you:

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will have

  • Over 6 years experience writing production-grade Kotlin or Java based applications
  • Awareness of a range of languages and paradigms, with the ability to coach/mentor juniors
  • Experience with containerisation and cloud infrastructure
  • Experience working with tooling for testing, build and deployment pipelines (setting it up is a plus) 
  • Working understanding of logging, monitoring and alerting tooling (setting it up is a plus)
  • Experience of coaching or mentoring more junior members of an engineering team
  • Good communication and written skills including experience producing technical documentation
  • Desire to not just code, but to define solutions, take ownership of, deliver and (with the rest of the squad) be accountable for on-going support and maintenance
  • Be comfortable in an agile, technically challenging, fast moving environment where sometimes you will be outside of your comfort zone
  • Experience with event driven architectures, micro-services and messaging systems

Nice to haves

  • Experience with high scale applications such as APIs dealing with large request volumes, or data processing pipelines
  • Experience with Kafka
  • It would be nice if you had experience working in a multi-disciplinary team (ML Engineers, SREs, Product)

Education:

  • BSc/BA degree in computer science, engineering or related discipline OR relevant years of experience in required skills.

What’s in it for you? 

  • Competitive salary aligned to your skills and experience 
  • Equity as we want you to have a part of what we are building 
  • Unlimited Time Off Policy- A work-life balance and focus on our well-being are critical to keeping us performing at our best 
  • We embrace a hybrid approach that requires employees to be in the office for two days a week. We strongly believe that this approach fosters collaboration and enables the building of meaningful relationships
  • You will also get a new starter budget of €235 to kit out your home office 
  • Opportunity to work on innovative projects with smart-minded people keen to share their knowledge and continuously improve 
  • Annual learning budget of €2200 (prorated based on start date) to drive your performance and career development.
