Back-end Software Engineer

As a Backend Developer at Chift, you will be at the heart of our mission to revolutionize software integrations for businesses across Europe. Your role is critical to building and improving the connectors and platform that empower our clients. You’ll contribute to creating scalable, highly available APIs that enable seamless integration with financial tools.

You’ll work closely with a talented, dynamic team, taking ownership of technical challenges and ensuring our solutions deliver value to our clients. This role is perfect for someone looking to deepen their backend expertise, take on responsibilities, and grow in a fast-paced startup environment.

You will have a key role in our company as you will be at the center of developing our connectors and the platform that helps our clients. We are looking for someone who is willing to take on responsibilities with a focus on our backend.

Here is an overview (not exhaustive) of your responsibilities:

• Master and understand our various tech components

• Adding routes in the various unified APIs and setting up integrations with the different software supported by the API

• Implementing best architecture for highly available and scalable API

• Full availability of our CTO to support and coach you

• Steep learning curve 📈: varied work allowing you to juggle between different technologies.

• Flexible work schedule and a mix of office/remote work

• Thirst for knowledge; you love challenges and are eager to learn new things. Moreover, you want to understand the different technologies used to have a good overall view of the solution
