About Suade
Suade is a market-leading regtech SaaS company with cutting-edge technology that automates regulatory reporting, compliance and financial risk solutions for financial institutions. Our technology outperforms the competition on every metric, and we are supported by unprecedented need for new technology to solve complex and growing regulatory burdens. We serve Tier 1 banks across Europe, North America, and Asia.
We are looking for a Mid-level Backend Engineer to help design, build, and scale our regulatory reporting platform. You'll own features end-to-end — collaborating directly with product to shape requirements, and with the engineers around you to deliver them. You'd be joining a tight-knit, enthusiastic team building software where precision genuinely matters. If you enjoy solving complex data problems at scale and want your work to have real-world impact, we'd love to hear from you.
Salary: £50,000 to £70,000 based on experience
