ABOUT THE TEAM
Our Technology team is one of the best in the business and is the driving force behind Revolut’s platform. From building a new banking backend to creating an award-winning app, our tech team is at the heart of everything we do.

It is an advantage to understand basic principles of concurrent programming (multiprocessing and multithreading) as well has having unit testing skills.

On the DevOps side, candidates will need to be familiar with:

-Docker
-Kubernetes
-Experience packaging projects and automating the deployment process.

You will be working in an agile team working at the forefront of business strategy and scaling the organisation.

Even if you don't have all the skills listed above, we encourage you to apply if:
