About the role

Step to the forefront of innovation with us and become a vital part of the Revolut FinCrime department as a Backend Software Engineer. Join a team of determined engineers driving the development of cutting-edge engines, such as real-time AI decision solutions, workflow management systems, and company-wide ML empowerment tools.

Our engines aren't just powerful. They're the pulse of our operations — scalable, low-latency, and vital to maintaining critical business pathways — which fortifies the security of more than 500 million Revolut transactions a month.

But it's not just about numbers. Our complex, full-stack solutions serve as an essential part of Revolut's internal infrastructure and extend as foundational internal tools across the company to mitigate financial crime risk. Despite the groundbreaking work we're doing, we prefer ‌a minimalist approach to using external frameworks, with an emphasis on maintainability and fast turnaround with TDD, DDD, and Continuous Integration and Delivery.

Our technology stack:

• Java 17
