About Revolut

People deserve more from their money. More visibility, more control, more freedom. And since 2015, Revolut has been on a mission to deliver just that. With an arsenal of awesome products that span spending, saving, travel, transfers, investing, exchanging and more, our super app has helped 35+ million customers get more from their money. And we're not done yet.

As we continue our lightning-fast growth,‌ two things are essential to continuing our success: our people and our culture. We've been officially certified as a Great Place to Work™ in recognition of our outstanding employee experience! So far, we have 8,000+ people working around the world, from our great offices or remotely, on our mission. And we're looking for more. We want brilliant people that love building great products, love redefining success, and love turning the complexity of a chaotic world into the simplicity of a beautiful solution.

About the role

The thing we pride ourselves on at Revolut is how truly data-driven every department of the company is. Data platform engineers are the enablers of this data obsessed culture, providing the infrastructure and tools that power insight generation and decision making for everyone from rank analysts to C-level executives.

In order to tame the exponential growth in size of data and the related complexity, we are looking for the most talented and passionate engineers — great builders and great collaborators.
