• You contribute to the continuous improvement of our cloud infrastructure in Google Cloud, with attention to security, backups, and compliance with regulations such as DORA and MiCAR.
• You actively participate in the team process, also taking on smaller tasks and thinking along about further division and specialization within the engineering team.

What we're looking for:

• A strong background in backend development, preferably with experience in Kotlin, Java, or TypeScript, and the ability to quickly learn and adapt to new programming languages and technologies.
• Proven experience working with distributed systems and microservices architectures, with a solid understanding of event-driven workflows and system communication complexities.
• Ability to independently take ownership of tasks and projects, from identifying issues to delivering solutions, demonstrating responsibility and proactive problem-solving skills.
• Enthusiasm for fintech and compliance-related domains, including transaction monitoring, anti-money laundering (AML), and know your customer (KYC) processes, with a genuine interest in building secure and compliant financial software.

What you'll need:
