Senior backend engineer

Own the ledger and bank feed services that every pound flows through.

What you will do

  • Design and ship the ledger services behind live balances and reconciliation
  • Make bank feeds faster, safer and easier to recover when a provider has a bad day
  • Pair with product on the parts of accounting that should be invisible
  • Leave the codebase clearer than you found it, with tests that earn their keep

What we are looking for

  • Five or more years building backend services in a typed language
  • Comfort with money, ledgers, idempotency and the odd edge case that only happens at month-end
  • A bias for small, boring, well-understood systems over clever ones
  • We decide in docs rather than meetings, so clear writing matters

How we hire

A short call, a paid task that looks like the real work, then a conversation with the team. There are no whiteboard puzzles or eight-stage gauntlets.
