Senior API Engineer
Madrid Office - Hybrid: 4 days in the office, 1 day working from home
As the Ebury Technology Department continues to expand to meet the needs of the business, we are seeking talented API Backend Engineers who specialise in Python — particularly with FastAPI, Flask, and Django to join our large and diverse team. We have a variety of roles open across different teams, so let's find where your skills can shine.
Experience & Qualifications
- Extensive experience in developing complex software systems. While our primary stack includes Python frameworks like FastAPI, Flask, and Django, we welcome candidates who may have experience with other languages but are eager to adapt.
- Since you will be collaborating with colleagues from various countries, the ability to communicate your ideas clearly and concisely in English, both written and spoken, is essential.
- We seek developers who can both “build and run” services. Therefore, you will be comfortable dockerising your code, defining standard REST endpoints, and implementing monitoring and alerting for your services.
- Experience with Redis for caching and Nginx for web serving is advantageous.
- Quality is paramount to us; we expect your code to be testable and well-covered with unit and integration tests.
- We utilise Jenkins for our Continuous Integration (CI) pipelines, k8s for service deployment and Terraform for infrastructure. Occasionally, you may need to contribute to these processes.
- Experience in developing systems for mobile app backends is a plus.
Responsibilities
- You will contribute to the development of a transactional banking platform, focusing on receiving and issuing payments in more than 140 currencies.
- Developing a platform consisting of a singular system (20+ services) with three distinct channels for users to access our core functionality:
● Salesforce.com for our front office staff,
● An online trading portal built with Vue.js, and
● A REST API for third-party integrations. - You will build and run services in production, taking responsibility for achieving Service Level Objectives for your code while using tools such as Jenkins, Terraform, Sentry, Prometheus, and ELK. You and your team will work with cross-functional product and technology teams across the company to build new features at scale across multiple regions.
- Responsible for components that operate seamlessly within Docker containers on AWS ECS and Kubernetes.
What we offer
- A global technology team that values culture and best practices, and believes in agile principles.
- A clear career progression framework with regular reviews.
- Ongoing personal development through training and certification.
- Opportunities to contribute to our technical design through our collaborative Request For Comments (RFC) process.
- An Open Source-friendly environment, adhering to Open Source principles in our internal projects and fostering contributions to external projects.
- A comprehensive onboarding process to ensure you feel part of the team from your first day.
- At Ebury's Tech team, we provide ample opportunities for professional growth: thanks to our structured career path and our collaborative, cross-functional teams, every day is a new adventure.
