Senior Backend Engineer
At Lunar, we are democratizing the power of money and changing the way we all bank, pay, and invest. Since starting in Aarhus in 2015, we've grown rapidly and are now a major player in the Nordics, with offices in Copenhagen, Aarhus, and Stockholm 🚀
So, who are we? Are we a tech company or a bank? Well, we're both breaking free from the usual categories. Here, tech isn't just a cool add-on; it's the core of how we do things. With our own banking license, we go head-to-head with traditional banks. What sets us apart is the mix of tech and financial services, giving us the power to shake up a dusty industry that's ready for a change.
As we continue our journey to becoming the best everyday bank in the Nordics, we are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to own the core services behind customer loyalty, benefits, and tiers — the stuff that drives acquisition, retention, and revenue. We’re scaling two high-impact initiatives and need a senior backend engineer who can own architecture, ship reliably, and raise the bar for the squad that is located in Aarhus.
What will you do?
Lead design, implementation, and launch of major services; take end-to-end ownership of the squad’s tech stack.
Build and operate scalable, fault-tolerant, event-driven backend services.
Raise operational excellence: testing, monitoring/observability, on-call readiness, incident handling, and mitigating root causes.
Align across product, iOS/Android, design, and data to land the best solution.
Curious about the Lunar culture? 💚
Everything at Lunar centers around our core - to challenge. It’s infused into our four values and guides us in how to work together, lead projects, and lead people to reach our mission. Our values aren't just words on a page - they're what make us who we are and shape the vibe of our culture. And trust me, we’re all about the vibe. For a longer read about our culture, click here.
We're excited to welcome everyone to apply for this impactful role! We can’t wait to follow up with talents who we believe are the best fit based on the following criteria:
5+ years delivering complex features with autonomy in fast-paced environments.
Strong application architecture skills for a defined domain; DDD experience.
Bias for outcomes: you set goals, take ownership, and drive through ambiguity.
Expert in at least one modern backend language (Go, Kotlin, Java, or C#).
Cloud-native services on AWS/GCP/Azure, Kubernetes, CI/CD.
Data & messaging: PostgreSQL/CockroachDB, Kafka/RabbitMQ.
