is looking for a
Staff Back End Engineer
for a full‑time position (40 hours per week) in Poland. The client is in the fintech domain, developing its own SaaS platform for businesses in the US, Canada, and the EU. The service optimizes communication processes, tasks, workflow, invoicing, and routine activities. Over 10,000 companies in 25 countries use the product, and the company is actively expanding into new markets.
Overview You will join the R&D team of more than 250 people (developers, QA engineers, designers, technical support engineers, DevOps engineers, and product managers). This key technical leadership role is not just an expert developer; you will take responsibility for the technical success of your cluster—a group of 2–4 cross‑functional micro‑teams working on related functionality. You will act as a technical driver: helping teams solve complex engineering challenges, improving architecture, scaling processes, and ensuring that technical decisions lead to sustainable product growth.
Across All Clusters, Staff Engineers are responsible for defining clear integration boundaries and public APIs for how their cluster interacts with other parts of the platform.
Domain‑Specific Cluster Challenges
Bookkeeping: Categorization of client financial transactions, leveraging AI to automate classification.
Intake: Collection and categorization of client documents (using AI) to support tax preparation workflows.
Payments: Development of an in‑house payment provider, including secure payment processing and integrations.
Implementation of a real‑time chat solution.
Billing plans: Development of a solution for flexible management of client permissions based on subscription plans and individual access settings.
Technology Stack Ruby on Rails (7+), PostgreSQL, Docker, AWS infrastructure, Kubernetes; CI/CD with Jenkins and GitLab; Bitbucket.
Requirements
10+ years of backend development experience (Ruby on Rails preferred).
Experience designing and evolving architecture in complex systems.
Readiness to learn Ruby on Rails (if you don’t have experience yet).
Understanding of CI/CD processes and tools, including Jenkins, GitLab, and Bitbucket.
A product mindset and understanding of how technical decisions impact business outcomes.
Strong communication skills and ability to influence without authority.
Experience driving cross‑team initiatives and leading technical discussions.
Passion for clean code, technical excellence, and knowledge sharing.
Responsibilities
Take ownership of the technical strategy and architecture within the cluster.
Collaborate closely with Engineering Managers, Product Managers, and other Staff Engineers to align technical solutions with business goals.
Help teams design scalable and maintainable solutions.
Conduct technical reviews of critical changes and drive engineering best practices.
Identify technical risks and find ways to mitigate them early.
Mentor senior engineers and raise the technical bar across the cluster.
Participate in hiring and onboarding processes for senior engineers.
Drive cross‑team technical initiatives and improvements.
Benefits
US and EU projects based on advanced technologies.
Competitive compensation based on skills and experience.
Regular performance appraisals to support your growth.
Flexibility in the workspace, either remote or in our welcoming office.
Comprehensive medical insurance after one month.
MultiSport card with access to 2,500 sports facilities throughout Poland.
Bonuses for recommendations of new employees.
Bonuses for article writing, public talks, and other activities.
15 vacation days, 10 national holidays, 10 sick leaves, and family days off.
