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 Lead Backend Engineer - Consumer Growth, you'll play a critical role in shaping the technical direction of the Consumer Growth team, taking ownership of the technical quality and delivery of complex systems.
Here's what that looks like in practice:
- Build and ship - Design, implement,
and operate services that power the Satispay consumer experience - from payment flows and identity verification to loyalty and engagement features, working across the full lifecycle from API design to production rollouts.
- Cross-team technical leadership - Drive technical analysis for projects that cut across multiple teams, lead design discussions, and produce clear documentation for stakeholders and engineering teams.
- Foster engineering excellence - Raise the quality bar across mobile and backend development through rigorous testing strategies, safe progressive rollouts, and proactive elimination of technical debt in a codebase shipping 2M+ daily payments.
- Mentor and develop - Provide technical guidance to junior and mid-level engineers in the Consumer Growth teams, helping them navigate cross-service dependencies, adopt sound event-driven patterns, and build operational excellence.
