Mid-Level Full Stack Java Engineer
Solance is redefining financial services for the B2B market, with a dedicated focus on family offices and corporate service providers—sectors often overlooked by traditional banks.
We are currently in the process of obtaining an EMI (Electronic Money Institution) licence in Ireland, with a long-term vision to evolve into a fully licensed bank.
Our mission is to combine the technological advantages of a neobank with the personalised, high-touch service of a private bank—delivering exceptional, tailored support to the specific needs of our Clients.
About this role
This is an opportunity to join Solance Europe Limited as an early-stage engineer in our Dublin city centre based team. You’ll report to the CTO and collaborate with the Principal Engineer and the rest of the Product and Tech team members to build a greenfield, cloud-native banking and payments platform using a modern Java and React native based stack.
This is a hands-on engineering role focused on delivering high-quality features, improving reliability and developer experience, and growing your ownership over services over time.
You’ll help build a resilient, scalable and secure platform that improves the experience for our Clients. You will contribute to building core services, APIs, UI flows, and automated pipelines in a regulated environment—learning best practices in security, resilience, and quality along the way.
