About the role
We are seeking a highly capable Senior Backend Software Engineer to join our Reconciliation Engineering team in the UK, specializing in data models and process automation. This role demands the ability to quickly grasp data models and queries, delivering solutions under tight deadlines, and handling pressure during incident response and audit assistance. A core responsibility is investigating and fixing the root causes of data discrepancies and mismatches between microservice systems, which ensures accuracy for regulators and auditors. You will collaborate closely with the Finance Reconciliation and Data Operations teams to automate critical manual processes, including report generation and partner statement injection/processing. A key upcoming project involves automating the complex tiered commissions system for our payout partners. Essential skills include proficiency in SQL and DAG, with a strong preference for candidates who have previous experience in fintech or financial institutions handling reconciliation and real‑time transaction data.
