Requirements

What you’ll need

7+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a strong backend focus
Deep expertise in at least one of: Java or Go, with willingness to work across the team’s stack.
Hands-on experience using agentic AI tools as a core development workflow: from daily acceleration (code generation, refactoring, test scaffolding) to writing and validating feature specs, maintaining business-specific documentation, and building entire systems from architectural specifications. You know when to trust, challenge, and rewrite AI output.
A product engineering mindset enabled by AI: ability to move autonomously from problem space to working implementation, using AI to draft specs, prototype solutions, and ship production-grade code with minimal hand-holding.
Proven experience designing, building and integrating distributed systems, microservices architectures, and API-driven platforms
Strong knowledge of software and data architecture design patterns, including fault tolerance, availability, scalability, security, and data quality
Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred): ECS/EKS, RDS/Aurora, CI/CD pipelines
Track record of technically leading projects from start to end, with a proven ability to reduce complexity and ship reliably
Experience working in regulated environments (financial services, banking, insurance) is a strong plus
Familiarity with B2B integration patterns: SSO, partner API gateways, batch processing, data reconciliation
Effective communication skills: ability to clearly set expectations, communicate trade-offs, and lead technical discussions across functions (Product, Design, Business, external partners)
Demonstrated mentorship ability: you’ve helped engineers grow through code reviews, pairing, and constructive feedback
Italian language proficiency (many of our partners and stakeholders communicate in Italian)
