The Role

A LITTLE ABOUT US 🤔
From clunky apps to hidden fees, banking as we know it is broken. So we decided to build a company from the ground that would challenge the bigger players and reinvent how people interact with their money — for the better.
Traditional banks are slow and expensive. Realistically, you’re nothing but a number to them with dollar signs attached. So, one continent at a time, we plan on changing this.
This may sound a little salesy, but we’ve signed up more than 1.5m customers without spending a single penny on marketing. It’s simple really: if you solve an everyday problem, you don’t need to spend a gazillion dollars on fancy marketing campaigns.


OUR CULTURE 👫
To put it blunty — it’s about getting shit done and owning what you do. We don’t hide behind fancy job titles or set up bureaucratic processes. Instead we treat our people equally, fairly and give them a ton of freedom and autonomy to create something awesome.
We make mistakes, we learn from them and we back everything up with data and logic.
In two years, we’ve grown to over 350 people and we’re adding around 30 new additions each month. From engineers to marketers, we’re on the hunt for exceptional talent to help us scale our business and get Revolut in the hands of millions of people everywhere.

WHAT WE NEED 🚀
We need a backend engineer that is excited by the challenge of serving millions of people each week, with timely, descriptive, and relevant notifications. You’ll provide the tools by which all other teams, from engineering to marketing, deliver their important information. You should strive to maintain our "five-nines" of uptime, respect user's communication preferences, and build intelligent optimisation and tracking tools. We are looking for candidates who share a passion for building scalable infrastructure.
We’ve hired some of the most talented developers and designers that the world of tech has to offer, and we’re keen to showcase their talent to the world - and that’s where you come in.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING ✍️
You’ll work together with a team of marketers, designers, data analysts and engineers to increase important business metrics, such as activation rate and engagement
You’ll improve our existing engagement system so that all other teams, from engineering to marketing, can deliver important communication
You’ll work on big data solutions and distributed systems
Our technology stack is based predominantly on Java 8 on the backend and ReactJS on the frontend
There is an opportunity to introduce Scala for new components
We have a minimalist approach to using external frameworks, with an emphasis on maintainability and fast turnaround with TDD, DDD and Continuous Integration & Delivery
