Lead Backend Engineer - Consumer Growth About us Satispay began by rethinking the simple act of a payment to remove the friction from our daily routines. But we didn’t stop there. Today, we are building a complete financial platform designed to empower people and concretely improve their lives.

By giving our 6 million users a clear, open path to pay, save, and invest, we are evolving into the definitive destination for every financial need. We own the systems that power the end-to-end consumer experience on Satispay - from the moment someone signs up to the day they leave.

Our mandate is growth: maximising the number of consumers joining the platform and driving engagement through marketing campaigns and Satispay Points. What you’ll be doing As a Lead Backend Engineer in the Consumer Growth Team, you'll play a critical role in shaping the technical direction of the team. This is an individual contributor (IC) role - you'll lead through technical excellence and influence, not through direct reports or people management.

You will be responsible for the technical quality and delivery of complex systems, collaborating closely with other teams. You will design, implement, and operate services that power the Satispay consumer experience - from payment flows and identity verification to loyalty and engagement features. You'll work across the full lifecycle: from API design and data modelling to production rollouts and on‑call ownership.

You will drive technical analysis for projects that cut across multiple teams, lead design discussions, and produce documentation that gives stakeholders and other teams a clear, reviewable picture of every design before build begins. Foster engineering excellence. You will raise the quality bar across mobile and backend development: rigorous testing strategies,



safe progressive rollouts, and proactive elimination of technical debt in a codebase that ships 2 M+ daily payments.

You will provide technical guidance to junior and mid‑level engineers in the Consumer Growth teams, helping them navigate cross‑service dependencies, adopt sound event‑driven patterns, and build a shared instinct for operational excellence. Expect challenges, collaboration, and the freedom to bring your ideas to life. Our tech stack includes (but it’s not limited to) Postgre SQL, Java, Spring Boot .

We rely on AWS for our infrastructure, with microservices deployed on EC2/ECS, S3 for storage, AWS Lambda for serverless functions, and Kinesis and Elastic Search for log streaming. You'll take ownership of your work from start to finish. Who we’re looking for We need a proven problem‑solver who takes initiative, excels in cross‑team collaboration, and is a technical quality champion.

Does it sound like you? Extensive experience. You have at least 5 years of related experience in back‑end software engineering. You have a proven track record of working with microservices and cloud environments (AWS is a plus) in high‑paced, mission‑critical contexts.

You possess deep experience with Java and Spring Boot. You have a strong understanding of distributed systems and how to manage external dependencies (like banking protocols) effectively.



You excel at coordinating implementations with other teams and building trust with various stakeholders.

You are focused on delivering software that meets evolving user needs. You are adaptable, avoid analysis paralysis, and go the extra mile to optimise systems beyond the initial requirements. Passion and language skills.

You are passionate about Fin Tech and fluent in English. Don't worry if you don't tick every box. We believe in the power of different viewpoints and strengths. If you're passionate and can make a difference, we truly encourage you to apply.
