Backend Developer

In 2021, Zettle became ZettlebyPayPal to go further and beyond in its mission to redefine financial freedom and help small businesses succeed in a world of giants. By offering them the tools to get paid, sell smarter and grow, we are empowering sellers across the globe to reach their full potential. We think that together we’re made for more and that the best is yet to come as our journey in putting an end to ordinary is just starting — Are you game?


As our quest to democratise financial services continues at blazing speed, our Financial Services Area is now on the lookout for a Backend Developer to join its Ledger Team.
In this role, you will collaborate with a crowd of bright people co-tackling a wide variety of technical challenges and driven by a shared ambition to create hassle-free solutions for our sellers.

A glimpse of what you will get here


Simply stated, we’re building the Financial Platform that closes the gap between our Product teams and the Finance team. This way we enable our product to grow freely and our Finance team to keep the pace.
In our systems we have a zero fault tolerance while handling millions of events per day. Scalability and monitoring are crucial, testing is as important as production code itself and we write code for the developers that will come, not simply code that works.
