Description

TrueLayer’s PayDirect team is disrupting the payments industry. PayDirect is a product built on open banking and the fastest available bank payment rails, it provides firms with instant payments and withdrawals, a high converting and low fraud payments method while accelerating KYC and AML processes, to deliver the most complete solution on the market.

We already have a working solution for instant and free transfers in the UK and now TrueLayer is looking to pioneer the development of a similar solution in Europe. You would be part of a greenfield project from its early days: product discovery, feasibility, technical design and finally development of a highly scalable high throughput system.

We always aim to empower our engineers and this means using the best tools for the job. Technically this means using the best in class technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes to schedule and run our services, AWS for our infrastructure, ElasticSearch, Redis, Postgres, RabbitMQ and more for our storage and queues.

Who we are:

At TrueLayer, we build intelligent financial infrastructure that puts fintech at people's fingertips. Businesses use our global network, built on open banking and PSD2, to securely access financial data and enable instant payments. Headquartered in London with offices in Milan, Dublin, Sydney, and Hong Kong, we’ve raised $72M to date and we’re trusted by some of the biggest names in tech, including Revolut, Trading 212, and Zopa.

We are systems builders, design thinkers, product crafters and committed doers. We work in a collaborative, transparent environment where people can be their true selves, embrace ownership and accountability, and build something that will define an industry.

Our vision is to create a financial ecosystem that is open to everyone. We’ve grown from a UK leader in 2019 to a global provider in 2020, operating in 12+ countries. The thing is, we're just getting started…

As one of our PayDirect Backend Engineers, you will:

• Design, build and maintain TrueLayer’s PayDirect platform, as well as associated services and systems.
• Work on the full life-cycle of our system. Own new product features, from breaking down requirements to planning tasks for you and your team, and shipping to production rapidly and regularly.
• Always strive for engineering excellence, leading code reviews, applying the modern principles of software engineering and provide guidance to junior engineers to maximise their potential and growth.
• Help us shape the future of financial products globally.
• Contribute to our culture, and help make sure TrueLayer remains an exceptional place to work.

Voluntary On-Call Duty
