Backend Engineer - Accounts and Payments

We are looking for Backend Engineers to join the Accounts & Payments domain at SEB Embedded!
Join us in playing a pivotal role in the success of our Banking-as-a-Service platform, supporting the processes of designing, developing, and maintaining a wide range of solutions, tailored to meet the evolving needs of our diverse customer base.
As experts in software development, our teams possess deep knowledge and expertise in building robust solutions. Our tech stack, written in Java, relies on GKE (Google Kubernetes Engine) and Spring Boot Framework. Our software runs on the GCP Framework and we harness the power of Java21 to build our services. Our applications use CloudSQL and Cloud Spanner to store data, and we handle data transfer both using standard REST APIs for synchronous calls, as well as Google’s PubSub and Kafka for asynchronous data flows.


About the teams
We are hiring for two of our teams; Accounts team and Payments team.
Accounts
The team is responsible for the microservices and APIs related to accounts.

Additionally, a small but significant portion of our codebase is written in Python.


Payments
The team specializes in developing and managing various payment services, including instant payments, secure payouts, and reliable credit transfers. We are committed to ensuring that our payment solutions are fast, secure, and user-friendly, enabling our customers to conduct their financial activities with ease and confidence. As we continue to grow, we have exciting plans to expand our portfolio and introduce new and innovative payment products to the market.
In both teams open communication and transparent collaboration are at the core of our team dynamic, fostering an environment where ideas are freely shared and valued.
