Meet the Job
As a Senior AI Applied Software Engineer you are a technical cornerstone of your squad. You will design and deliver complex features with minimal guidance, ensuring that both the “engine” (Backend) and the “experience” (Frontend) are performant, secure, and scalable.
- Full SDLC Ownership: Lead the entire lifecycle of digital banking products—from initial idea and architectural design to release and maintenance.
- Architectural Excellence: Improve system architecture and design components that integrate smoothly across APIs and microservices.
- Technical Leadership: Act as a go-to resource for your team, mentoring junior engineers, conducting critical code reviews, and raising the bar for engineering standards.
- AI & Innovation: Contribute to the evolution of LLM-based voice assistants and real-time personalization engines using OpenAI and ML models.
- Security-First Mindset: Implement “Entitlements” and fraud prevention services with a focus on non-functional requirements like security, scalability, and resilience.
- Collaborative Culture: Work in a Pod based model, collaborating with Architects, Product Owners, and UX Designers to align technical solutions with business needs.
- Location: You live in Kraków or nearby area and you are willing to work in a hybrid mode – twice per week from our office.
- Experience: You have 5–7+ years of professional experience building complex, high-traffic products.
- Backend Mastery: Solid understanding of Java, Spring JPA/Hibernate, and Maven. Experience with Microservices (Netflix OSS is a plus) and Cloud technologies.
- Frontend Expertise: Strong skills in Angular and TypeScript. You are proficient with RxJS and modern build systems (Webpack, Jenkins). Experience with Vue.js is a plus.
- System Design: You have a solid grasp of Enterprise Integration Patterns and can design systems that handle complex data flows between services.
- The “Senior” Edge: You don’t just solve tickets; you identify gaps in tooling, reduce technical debt, and optimize CI/CD pipelines to streamline delivery.
- Communication: Excellent English (spoken and written). You can confidently explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and get buy-in for your architectural decisions.
- Domain Knowledge: Previous experience in Fintech or Banking is highly considered an advantage.
What We Offer
- Growth: €1,000 annual self-development budget, a clear promotion path, and dedicated time for training.
- Rewards: Competitive base salary plus an annual bonus and referral bonuses.
- Hybrid Work: A flexible arrangement combining remote work with our vibrant Kraków office.
