Junior Developer

Open banking has matured significantly since its inception. Core challenges such as strong customer authentication and consent management are now better understood, giving us an opportunity to re-evaluate and redesign a leaner, more scalable system tailored to today's requirements.

At the same time, the foundational pillar of a robust and future-proof bank integration infrastructure hasn't changed. As a Junior Developer you will help us evolve this portfolio of expanding integrations, while continuing to push the boundaries of what Open Banking can offer.
