Before you apply

- No pay is stated. Ask for the salary range before investing time in interviews.
- The advert does not say whether this is employment or a contractor arrangement. Ask, as it affects tax and benefits.

Location: You can choose to work in Qonto as long as you're living in (or willing to relocate to) either Germany, France, Italy, Serbia, or Spain.
Join us as Senior Backend Engineer to build the financial infrastructure that 750,000+ European SMEs depend on every day, from highly scalable APIs to robust banking services that handle real money, in real time, with zero room for mistakes.
You will join one of our mission-based teams of 5 to 10 engineers, led by a dedicated Engineering Manager. You will work alongside backend, web, iOS, and Android engineers, as well as Product Managers and Designers, in either a Product team (building features used directly by customers) or a Platform team (developing the scalable foundations that help Product teams move faster). Your team owns a clear mission end-to-end, following our "you build it, you own it" approach, and you will stay connected to the wider Backend community through our Backend Guild.
What you'll do
Design, build, deploy, and maintain services handling real financial transactions, owning reliability in production, not just at merge time
Co-own service architecture, resilience, and scalability with respect to Domain-Driven Design principles
Grow in technical leadership: lead design discussions, anticipate risks, and mentor less experienced engineers
Drive continuous improvement, from fixing flaky CI to running post-mortems and propagating learnings across the team
Contribute to discovery, make technical decisions, monitor production performance, and steadily raise quality standards
What we're looking for
Technical expertise: Strong backend engineering experience with exposure to large-scale web application architecture and real production constraints
Stack fluency: You don't need to know our exact stack, but you transfer fast and are comfortable with similar technologies
Quality-driven: You write tests, set up monitoring, handle incidents methodically, and do root cause analysis
Ownership mindset: You track impact after release, flag regressions, and improve what's in your scope without being asked
Team player: You are comfortable working in squad teams with PMs, Designers, and other stacks, and you are fluent in English
At Qonto we understand that true diversity isn't just about ticking boxes on a hiring checklist. Apply regardless of the boxes you tick! Who knows? You may have the missing piece of the puzzle we've been searching for all along.
What we can offer you
Our methodology, the Qonto Way : We value upfront technical design, team reviews, and smart slicing. Quality drives the velocity our customers need
Autonomy: Our org assigns one team lead per project across stacks, giving your team a clear mission and full autonomy on how it operates
Continuous improvement: Our lean toolbox, Kaizen , PDCA, lets you monitor and drive improvement collaboratively with your peers and manager
