Ebury is a Global FinTech: we apply new technologies to enhance and automate financial services and processes. This allows small and medium-sized businesses to trade and transact internationally by eliminating boundaries related to more traditional methods.

We're breaking down the barriers set by incumbent banks to accelerate cross border trade. Be part of our mission.

Are you ready to be an Eburian?

Ebury is seeking a Full Stack/Any Stack Engineer to play a crucial part in our team. In this role, you will be one of the founding engineers in our new engineering teams. We have an exciting backlog of greenfield projects, ready to go.

We're looking for the right attitude, work ethic, and entrepreneurial spirit to ask the hard questions. To be informed by data, but be led by a desire to solve our customers' problems. You should learn by default and be ever curious. You should be programming language, framework, tool agnostic but have strong opinions (weakly held) on the right tool to solve our biggest problems.

Responsibilities:

1. Drive growth for Ebury.
2. Collaborate with your team members, other engineers, sales people, the data team, and anyone else to get the job done.
3. In line with our 'You build it, you own it' philosophy, we expect you to take full ownership of the products you build, embracing both their development and ongoing maintenance.
4. You have experience in developing complex web applications. We mainly work with Python/Django & Node.js in the backend with React/VueJS in the frontend, but experience in any other modern language and frameworks is acceptable.
5. Communicate ideas clearly and concisely in English, both written and spoken.
6. Be adept at constructing and managing services, with proficiency in establishing standard APIs, incorporating monitoring systems and alerting services, along with strong expertise in integrating external systems.
7. Comfortable with containerising your code and adding monitoring and alerting to your services.
8. Ensure your code is testable with good test coverage.
9. Keep up-to-date with emerging technologies, tools, and practices.

Experience and Qualifications:

1. Experience building customer and/or sales-facing technology.
2. Knowledge of basic algorithms, object-oriented and functional design principles, and best-practice design patterns.
3. Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or related field (or equivalent experience).
4. Experience in applying AI/ML to solve customer problems would be a bonus.
5. Experience with Python3, Django, PostgreSQL, Redis, Rest APIs or similar modern programming languages and frameworks.
6. Knowledge of Linux systems, cloud infrastructure, networking, and databases.
7. Quality is important to us; we expect your code to be testable and well covered with unit and integration tests.
8. SQL knowledge, Big Query experience or similar.
9. Strong communication and collaboration skills.
10. Ability to communicate clearly and concisely in English, both written and spoken.
