Wayflyer is hiring a Full Stack Software Engineer

Responsibilities

  • Own features end-to-end: shape solutions with product and design, build across the API and the UI, ship to production to create outcomes, not just deliver tickets
  • Lean into your specialism - whether that's backend architecture, data modelling and performance, or frontend architecture, accessibility and user experience - and act as the go-to person for it on your team
  • Design and develop backend services using Python and Django, including the data models and RESTful APIs that power our financial products
  • Build high-quality, reusable frontend features using TypeScript and React
  • Write clean, testable code with strong test coverage across the stack (pytest on the backend; Storybook/Chromatic, Playwright and Vitest on the frontend)
  • Participate in code reviews on both sides of the stack in order to share knowledge and improve the quality of our solutions
  • Monitor and maintain production systems, ensuring reliability, performance and security

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent practical experience
  • 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with genuine depth - we'll play to your strengths
  • Strong proficiency in Python and Django (or similar frameworks like FastAPI or Flask)
  • Working proficiency in TypeScript and React and a real appetite to build product UI
  • Experience with SQL databases (preferably PostgreSQL)
  • Experience with API design
  • Experience with AWS or similar cloud platforms
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines (especially GitHub Actions)
  • Strong testing culture
  • Solid understanding of version control with Git
  • Understanding of security best practices and data protection
  • Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
  • Excellent communication abilities and proven track record of successful team collaboration

Nice to Have

  • Advanced proficiency in TypeScript and React
  • Experience with modern frontend architectures
  • Experience with state management (e.g. TanStack Query)
  • Experience with design systems
  • Experience in financial services, fintech and business-to-business organisations

Benefits

  • 25 days off, plus public holidays
  • Equity - because you should own a piece of what you're building
  • Generous parental leave for primary and secondary caregivers
  • 60 days a year to work abroad from wherever you want

Work Arrangement

Remote (Worldwide) — Dublin, London, New York, Charlotte, Berlin, Sydney

Who thrives here

  • You should be comfortable making and defending decisions about the experience you’re building, while remaining open to feedback and alternative approaches.
  • You'll need to balance technical excellence with business needs and help guide the team toward good solutions that elevate the experience as quickly as possible.
  • You excel at stakeholder management and can effectively communicate technical concepts to non-technical audiences.
  • You're proactive in identifying and addressing potential issues before they become problems.
  • People love working with you. You're helpful and generous with your time and knowledge.
  • People love helping you back. People know where they stand with you.
  • You're always looking to learn and grow, on a personal and professional level.
  • You're always looking to help others learn and grow by sharing your own knowledge and experience.
  • You know why diversity, equality, inclusion and belonging matters, and speak up when we can do better.

What this role could turn into

  • Our engineers here grow in whichever direction their interests pull them. Some deepen their specialism and move toward staff or principal tracks in specific technologies; some stay broad and take on architecture across whole product areas; others step into engineering management.
  • Joining as a full stack engineer doesn't mean giving up your specialism - it means choosing where to deepen it with more context.

Additional Information

  • Remote work policy allows working from anywhere in Europe
  • 60 days per year permitted to work abroad
