Senior Backend Engineer

The bank that is closer to everyone - yes, that’s us!

We are building a new team for a new digital bank from scratch! The new backend team will build, implement, and continuously improve a modern banking platform.

As a Senior Backend Engineer, you will design and build the microservices that power the bank, integrate with vendor and third-party systems, and define the API contracts that bring everything together. You will work closely with architects, product managers, and other engineers to make smart, long-term technical decisions.

Every day, you’ll be #closer and:

• Design and build microservices in Java 21+ and Spring Boot;

• Build the in-house BFF layer that wraps our banking core and exposes clean domain APIs to mobile and web clients;

• Define and own API contracts (REST and gRPC);

• Integrate with the banking core and third-party systems;

• Work with event-driven tools for communication between services;

• Run and own your services in production - Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, GitOps-based deployments, observability with OpenTelemetry;

• Model and manage data in PostgreSQL;

• Write the automated tests that let us release often and safely;

• Collaborate with architects on service design and technical direction - you'll have real influence on how the platform is built.

To be #closer, you’ll need:

• Solid backend development experience with Java 21+ and Spring Boot;

• Strong experience designing and building microservices;

• Hands-on experience with REST and gRPC API design;

• Solid knowledge of Kafka or Azure Event Hubs;

• Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and PostgreSQL;

• Cloud-native experience (Azure is a plus);

• A proven track record of integrating with external systems;

• A habit of covering your work with automated tests;

• Confidence in making technical decisions and defining API contracts.

Nice to have:

• Experience in fintech, banking, or another regulated industry;

• Experience working in greenfield environments;

• Experience wrapping or integrating a banking core platform;

• Familiarity with DORA, PCI DSS, or NIS2.

Being #closer means you’ll get:

• The green light for your ideas. Your suggestions will be heard - we value independence, curiosity, and initiative.

• A manager who helps you grow. You’ll get clear direction and support while having plenty of freedom to act, learn, and develop.

• An organisation that is changing. Joining Artea means more than just a new name - it means new ideas, perspectives, and opportunities to help shape our culture from within.

• Achievements rooted in Lithuania. We’re especially proud to be a Lithuanian bank. We believe our country and our people are unique, and we do everything we can every day to help them realise their potential.

• A personal benefits package. Health insurance, a pension savings programme, additional days off, flexible working hours, modern infrastructure - and that’s far from the complete list of benefits!

• Competitive compensation. Your salary will depend on your experience and competencies, so we’re providing an indicative range of EUR 6,800.00 - 8,200.00 gross per month.

• Performance bonuses. Our employees can earn bonuses based on the performance of the bank, their team, and their own individual performance.
