About The Role
What we’re looking for:
- Build the backend for customer-facing insights features such as spending summaries, travel insights, and spend controls like budgets and recurring-payment tracking.

- Improve categorisation accuracy so the numbers customers see are trustworthy.
- Own components and end-to-end flows—from development through deployment to running in production, including on-call rotation.
- Write high-quality tests, robust documentation, and review code to raise the bar across the team.
- You deliver medium-sized backend projects independently and see them through the full lifecycle, collaborating with the team for the toughest problems.
- Strong backend fundamentals and proficiency in Java/Spring Boot, plus understanding of distributed systems concepts like asynchronous communication and event streaming.
- You write well-tested, high-quality code and actively improve your work.
- You communicate openly and contribute to a collaborative, inclusive team.
- Nice to have: experience with Kafka, stream processing, or high-throughput low-latency services
