  • Act as the main point of contact for cross-functional collaboration, representing the engineering team in discussions with product, operations, and other stakeholders;
  • Maintain and oversee up-to-date information registries and ensure critical knowledge is recorded and accessible.

  • Knowledge of banking, payment and/or card products and systems;
  • Experience with Agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban) and software development best practices;
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate across cross-functional teams;
  • Familiarity with DevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud platforms (e.g., GCP, AWS or Azure);
  • Previous experience balancing hands-on coding with leadership responsibilities, including analyzing complex technical challenges and designing effective, scalable solutions;
  • Ability to proactively identify bottlenecks, risks, and inefficiencies in development processes and propose actionable improvements while balancing short-term delivery needs with long-term architectural integrity and maintainability;
  • Ability to mentor and support team members in both technical and professional growth while encouraging collaborative problem-solving by fostering open dialogue and leveraging diverse team perspectives;
  • Professional fluency in English, both spoken and written; Estonian is considered an advantage.


With us, you can experience:

  • Personal and professional growth through self-leadership and continuous development;
  • Meaningful work that positively impacts our workplace, our customers, and society;
