Job Description
Ebury is hiring a Senior Software Engineer for its Web Platform team in a freshly launched engineering hub based in Valencia. The role is hybrid, with four days in the office and one day at home each week. Ebury is a global fintech based in London that moves money across borders through FX, payments and lending in over 140 currencies, and it is majority owned by Santander.
The engineer would be one of the first product engineers in the Valencia hub. The work spans customer-facing web and mobile products and a payments backbone on AWS that is event-driven and API-first, alongside a governed data environment on Google Cloud. Ownership starts from day one: an engineer takes a client problem through design, delivery, measurement and iteration rather than working only from tickets. Reliability of money movement, including idempotency, retries and reconciliation, is a baseline expectation.
Leading technically across several crucial areas is part of the role. The engineer leads system design, sets engineering standards, reviews designs, mentors senior engineers and pushes improvements in testing, CI/CD and observability. AI-assisted development is part of everyday practice, along with the judgement to know where human review is needed for regulated decisions.
Candidates need a strong computer science foundation and substantial experience building and running production systems at scale. The posting values demonstrated impact and judgement over years of service alone. Working English is required. The interview has four stages: an introductory chat, an online coding test, a systems design session, and an interview with the hiring manager and a product leader.
Responsibilities
- Lead technically in key areas of the worldwide financial platform
- Set architectural direction through system design and high-leverage technical decisions
- Work with Product, Design and engineering leaders to turn business outcomes into scalable solutions
- Own systems across the full lifecycle, from discovery to production operations and cost
- Raise the technical bar by setting engineering standards and guiding design reviews
- Identify systemic risks and technical debt early and drive fixes across teams
- Use AI-assisted development tools responsibly while keeping full ownership of the code
Requirements
- A strong computer science foundation, through education or industry experience
- Substantial background designing and running live systems at large scale
- Solid grasp of fundamentals such as data structures, algorithms and design trade-offs in complex systems
- Skill in designing and evolving high-quality software in modern programming languages
- Exceptional problem-solving, able to break down ambiguous problems
- Strong communication and influencing skills, plus a mentoring mindset
- Working English
Qualifications
- Fintech, payments or regulated-domain experience (nice to have)
- Experience with web or mobile work beyond the primary focus (nice to have)
- Experience at an early-stage office or founding team (nice to have)
Core Skills
Benefits
- Highly competitive compensation with a strong base salary and performance-based bonus
- A defined Engineer, Staff and Principal career path with mentorship
- Opportunity to shape a new engineering hub from the start
- High-spec laptop, either a MacBook Pro or a Linux device
- A culture of strong performance and inclusion among engineers
