Software Engineer II - Backend

About the role

In this role you will be a Scala engineer in a cross‑functional development team. Likely technical challenges you will be facing in your first year at Moneyfarm will be related to adapting the architecture of our systems with strong customer growth in mind.

Over time you will become the go‑to person within the team for backend development. You also take initiative to learn/research new technologies and deliver code of great quality, keeping technical debt under control.

A successful candidate in this role will be pragmatic, collaborative, value simplicity and effectiveness, and be biased for action. They will consider being wrong an opportunity for learning and will not consider any part of the software development lifecycle to be someone else’s problem.

Your job will be to help us build a great product that our customers love, and a great environment to work in. We are looking for people who want to make an impact in whatever they can, contributing their ideas to how we can improve our product, our technology and the way we work.

Things we value are: an Agile approach to product development, using short iteration cycles, and frequent releases to customers; and a Product engineering Mindset.
