Software Engineer - Core Banking

Ageras is becoming Shine

At Shine, we are redefining how entrepreneurs-freelancers, self-employed professionals, and SMEs-manage their banking, and administrative tasks. Through seamless tools and innovative accounting & banking solutions, we help them focus on what matters most: growing their businesses.

Our vision is to become the best friend of every small entrepreneur across Europe.

Over the years, Shine has grown through the merging of top European FinTechs like Shine ( ), Kontist ( ), Tellow ( ), and more. Today, we're a team of nearly 500 people working together from Paris, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, and Berlin.

At Shine, our 150 engineers design scalable, reliable, and user centric solutions through a modern architecture that drives our growth. Organized into specialized tribes, they collaborate in cross functional squads-including an Engineering Manager, a Product Manager, a Product Designer, and Software Engineers-to foster innovation and excellence.

Our structure maximizes impact and ownership:

• Product teams develop core features for key business domains (invoicing, banking, accounting).
• Platform teams manage infrastructure and core services (Cloud, DevOps, Core APIs, developer tools).
• Data team builds data pipelines for engineering, modeling, and analytics.

Within our Banking tribe, the Banking Core team plays a central role. The team builds and maintains the foundational systems that power Shine' banking services. It is now expanding to strengthen our core infrastructure for scaling Shine across markets, with a strong focus on building and evolving our card and payment products.

Our stack includes TypeScript, Node.js, React, PubSub, Docker, Terraform, GitHub Actions, and GCP-structured in microservices and event driven architectures.

By joining the Banking Core team, you will contribute to shaping the foundation of Shine' banking services. Your mission: help design, build, and scale our next generation payment systems while ensuring resilience and reliability of our existing core infrastructure.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Building distributed, event driven systems that power our payment flows and ledger logic.
• Strengthening and maintaining existing banking core services to ensure performance and stability.
• Writing clean, maintainable, and well tested code using best engineering practices (DDD, TDD, clean architecture).
• Collaborating closely with your squad (Engineering Manager, Product Manager, and fellow engineers) and contributing to design and code reviews.
• Participating in architectural discussions and proposing scalable technical solutions.
• Sharing knowledge and mentoring peers-particularly important for our senior engineers.
• Helping improve team rituals, demos, and feedback loops to keep collaboration meaningful in a remote first setup.

3️ System design case : a hands on exercise (build or debug a payment service) that you'll later discuss with the team.

4️ A finale conversation to discuss about your soft skills and meet you're future colleagues, and a stakeholder round with Thomas (VP Engineering) or Sebastian (VP Product Banking) to explore product mindset and cross team collaboration.
