Devengo is a startup whose mission is to make finance a fairer place. Their first product is a scalable API that allows companies to send and receive instant payments — a business bank account you can use programmatically in real time. They are pivoting to focus on instant payments and are looking for a Senior Backend Developer to join the team, embrace their vision, and help create life‑improving services for companies. Responsibilities: participate in the full software creation cycle (discovery, design, development, deployment) end‑to‑end; break down large features into smaller tasks and estimate scope pragmatically; write robust, maintainable code with strong test coverage; spend time each month collaborating with the OPS team to understand product and operational complexity; perform peer reviews to ensure quality and shared learning. How you’ll work: process mixes Kanban and Scrum with Continuous Delivery, 2‑week sprints, Jira for task management, daily meetings for status/blockers, and close collaboration between Product and Tech. Values include finesse, pragmatism, fairness and empathy, and autonomy with responsibility. Tech: moving from classic Rails to a modular monolith influenced by Clean/Hexagonal architecture. Multiple APIs and integrations with financial systems; CI/CD and custom pipelines; Slack, mostly async communication. Schedule and location: flexible working hours with daily sync around 14:00–15:00 CEST; availability requested 12:00–16:00. 100% remote, candidates in UTC ±2 preferred; quarterly offsites. Requirements: strong English written/spoken; solid software fundamentals; experience with TDD/best practices (SOLID, design patterns, testing); production deployments; CI/CD pipelines; appreciation for strong test suites; clear communication and listening; self‑motivation and organization. Must‑haves: 4+ years in backend development (Ruby, Python, JS, PHP, Java, Go, etc.); code quality driven by automated testing; relational DB design/use; REST APIs. Nice‑to‑haves: Hexagonal/Clean architecture, DDD; Ruby/Rails; common AWS services (S3, EC, CloudFront, etc.); CI tools (currently Travis); fintech experience. Compensation: listed salary €50–60K; they note total annual compensation (salary + phantom equity) up to €50K depending on experience. Benefit example: team‑building events.
