Software Engineer III, Backend - Consumer Growth Domain
Satispay · Milan, Italy · 5mo ago
About us
Traditional banking has never really given you control over your financial life. Satispay exists to change that: to empower people through finance.
That means making financial services easy and accessible for over 6.5M users. We started with payments, then benefits, investing, cards... and we’re not done. Not even close.
We follow the same logic every time: find a real problem, solve it properly, then look for the next one. The destination? To build the most loved financial platform in the world.
If you own outcomes rather than tasks, stay close to what users need, and refuse to wait for someone else to fix what's broken — you'll find people here who work exactly in the same way. And together, you'll build something worth being proud of.
What you'll be doing
As our Software Engineer III, Backend in the Consumer Growth Team, you'll own designing and building scalable features that drive user growth and reduce friction for our community.
Here's what that looks like in practice:
Own the Story Lifecycle - Take full ownership of the end-to-end lifecycle—from technical design to production release—ensuring that product stories are robust and scalable.
Accelerate Activation & Trust - Build and optimise high-reliability systems for onboarding, document verification, and security flows to ensure users can start transacting safely in minutes.
Drive Engagement & Discovery - Enhance the app experience by developing core backend services for shop discovery and personalised consumer journeys.
Scale Loyalty & Monetisation - Build the technical foundation for user retention, contributing to "Plus" subscription plans, referral programs, and loyalty mechanics.
Master a Modern Tech Stack - Take ownership of our AWS-based infrastructure and participate in architectural improvements across our growth-focused microservices.
Work in an AI-Powered Environment - Leverage AI tools daily to write and optimise code, speed up root cause analysis, and generate documentation to raise engineering efficiency.
Ensure Quality and Stability - Conduct technical analysis, accurately estimate effort, and participate in incident resolution to ensure system health.
Collaborate & Document - Create comprehensive technical documentation and collaborate cross-functionally with Product and stakeholders to align with the roadmap.
Who we're looking for
This role needs someone who is a problem-solver, loves teamwork, and gets things done with curiosity and readiness for real ownership.
Experience - At least 3 years of experience as a Backend Engineer, with a strong track record of building and maintaining scalable microservices.
Technical Foundations - Solid expertise in Java and Spring Boot, with a good understanding of relational databases (PostgreSQL) and cloud environments (AWS is a plus).
Growth Mindset - Deep care for performance and user experience, understanding how technical improvements in onboarding or loyalty flows impact millions of users.
Reliability & Documentation - Structured approach, enjoying writing clear technical documentation, and focusing on building maintainable, high-quality code.
Teamwork and Communication - Excellent cross-functional collaboration skills and ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical peers.
Language proficiency - Passionate about FinTech, user growth, or startup environments and fluent in English.
Don't worry if you don't tick every box. We believe in the power of different viewpoints and strengths. Your unique perspective is important as we build something special: if you're passionate and can make a difference, we truly encourage you to apply.
