About Us
Peratera is a UK-based fintech company, founded in 2022 and authorised by the FCA as an Electronic Money Institution. We are building a modern, all-in-one payment platform that enables businesses to manage global payments and financial operations seamlessly.
Our solution allows companies to open multi-currency accounts, send and receive payments worldwide, and manage cross-border transactions from a single platform. Our mission is to simplify global finance and remove friction from international business operations.
Your Mission
As a Senior Java Engineer, you will be a core contributor to our distributed financial platform - going beyond coding to actively shape architecture, drive engineering excellence, and help build systems that are scalable, observable, and regulation-ready. You will join at a stage where the platform is evolving fast and the right engineers will grow with it - toward Tech Lead or Staff Engineer roles.
Your Tech Environment
You will work in a modern, cloud-native stack with clear ownership and no legacy surprises:
- Backend: Java 17+, Spring Boot (Core, Security, Data, Cloud), REST APIs, event-driven services, Camunda
- Infrastructure: AWS (EKS, RDS, CloudWatch), Docker, Kubernetes, GitLab CI/CD
- Data & Messaging: PostgreSQL, AMQP / Kafka-style message brokers, event-driven architecture
- Observability: OpenSearch / ELK, Prometheus / Micrometer, OpenTelemetry (in progress)
- Integrations: Open Banking providers, banking partners, external payment systems
