Job description

Our Technology team builds the systems and experiences that keep Revolut moving. From the infrastructure behind our innovative app to the features used by millions of people around the world, they bring sharp thinking, speed, and a focus on meaningful impact to everything they do., We’re looking for a Software Engineer with expertise in self-managed storage solutions, such as Redis and Kafka, who’s excited about building and operating critical infrastructure at a global scale.

Since most of our core infrastructure is designed, built, and operated internally, you’ll be developing for resilience, automation, and scale from day one.

Up to shape what’s next in finance? Let’s get in touch.

What you’ll be doing

  • Designing, operating, and evolving our storage solutions, such as Kafka clusters at scale, across cloud and/or on-premise environments
  • Building and maintaining self-managed, highly available distributed systems (messaging, storage, data infrastructure)
  • Architecting multi-region deployments, failover strategies, and disaster recovery for mission-critical systems
  • Developing infrastructure as code and internal self-service platforms to enable engineering teams to provision and operate safely at scale
  • Driving automation across provisioning, scaling, upgrades, patching, and incident remediation
  • Contributing to reliability standards (SLOs, SLIs, error budgets) and improving observability across the stack
  • Working closely with backend, platform, security, and compliance teams to design infrastructure that meets regulatory and audit requirements
  • Participating in incident response and postmortem processes, focusing on systemic improvements rather than firefighting, * Krakow: PLN31,100 - PLN44,100 gross monthly*
  • Vilnius: €5,800 - €8,800 gross monthly*
  • Poland: PLN31,100 - PLN44,100 gross monthly*
  • Lithuania: €5,800 - €8,800 gross monthly*
  • Other locations: Compensation will be discussed during the interview process

*Final compensation will be determined based on the candidate’s qualifications, skills, and previous experience

Building a global financial super app isn’t enough. Our Revoluters are a priority, and that’s why in 2021 we launched our inaugural D&I Framework, designed to help us thrive and grow everyday. We’re not just doing this because it’s the right thing to do. We’re doing it because we know that seeking out diverse talent and creating an inclusive workplace is the way to create exceptional, innovative products and services for our customers. That’s why we encourage applications from people with diverse backgrounds and experiences to join this multicultural, hard-working team.

Requirements

  • Expertise operating Apache Kafka in production at scale, including cluster provisioning, lifecycle management, capacity planning, performance tuning, replication, failover, and resilience design
  • Knowledge of security hardening (ACLs, encryption, authentication)
  • A background in SRE, platform engineering, or infrastructure engineering
  • A deep understanding of distributed systems concepts (consensus, partitioning, fault tolerance, backpressure, networking)
  • Experience with Linux, containerisation (Docker), and Kubernetes
  • Expertise with Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform) and configuration management (e.g., Ansible)
  • Familiarity with CI/CD systems and automation pipelines
  • The ability to independently design and deliver complex systems in collaboration with multiple internal stakeholders
  • Hands-on software engineering skills

Nice to have

  • Experience operating other stateful systems at scale (e.g., Postgres, Redis, object storage)
  • Knowledge of monitoring and observability tooling (e.g., Prometheus, Stackdriver, Vector, VictoriaMetrics)
  • Exposure to regulated environments or financial systems
  • Experience operating infrastructure across cloud (GCP/AWS) and on-premise environments
