• Design, build, and maintain APIs, services, and systems, ensuring consistency and avoiding breaking changes.

• Write high-quality, testable, readable, and maintainable code in at least one object-oriented language like PHP, Java, or TypeScript.

• Contribute to solution conversations, helping identify tasks and collaborating with the team and stakeholders to overcome obstacles.

What you'll bring

• 3+ years of software engineering experience.

• Proven ability to commit quality code in at least one object-oriented programming language (e.g., Java, PHP, or similar).

• Experience working with large-scale applications.

• Demonstrated experience in designing systems and handling concepts like queuing, caching, concurrency, fault tolerance, and scalability.

• A product-minded approach, allowing you to ask the right questions and contribute to solution conversations that impact wider business goals.

• Strong English communication skills to effectively collaborate with the team and stakeholders.

Grow your way

At Mollie, growth is personal. We believe everyone should have the chance to develop their skills, explore new challenges and shape their career on their own terms.

You'll get regular feedback and performance reviews to support your development, with fair and transparent salary reviews along the way. Many Mollies move into new roles or take on new projects to stretch themselves, and we actively hire from within to help you take the next step.

No matter if you're aiming for promotion, exploring a different career path or building new skills, you'll be supported with the tools, trust and opportunities to grow your way.
