About Recharge

We are the leading one-stop-shop for branded payments, making online recharge possible for anyone, anywhere at any time — whether you or someone you love needs credit for calling, gaming, entertainment or money. This is your chance to join an ambitious scaleup in a state of rapid growth; we’ll push you to develop yourself and help you create a real impact in your role. Put simply: we could write history together.

We won’t bore you with a corporate spiel about how we might be taking on the world of branded payments (spoiler: we are). 

Instead, we’ll let the numbers speak for themselves: we bring consumers their favourite brands to their fingertips, with over 15,000 products available in every gift card category globally, $70 million in funding (and counting!), 20%+ growth in 2023. 

We also have a revenue target of €75 million in 2024, we're just getting started with 1.1 million app downloads in 2023, we are counting 5.0+ million active customers, a presence in 180 countries and 25 markets, a team of 150+ employees and 40+ nationalities and 1 person missing — you.

We’re on the hunt for the hungriest and most passionate talent out there. If at any point your brain screams “I want in!” while you’re reading this, then consider this the sign you’ve been looking for: we want you too.

Position

Recharge.com is looking for an experienced Senior Software Engineer with extensive knowledge of (but not limited to) Python and a pragmatic view at software engineering and product development to join our team. In the past three years, we have managed to scale up rapidly with our products Rapido.com and Recharge.com which has led to tremendous (often - triple-digit) growth of sales volumes. We expect the growth to continue, and that’s why we are in the progress of re-defining our application landscape to make sure that we can cope with this growth in the future. That’s why we need you! With your drive and knowledge of how to build great software that is about to serve hundreds of millions of people around the globe in the years to come.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll be working in one of the development teams. The services that you will own together with the team, represent the very core of our payment processing and risk assessment. This is how you will impact the way of working of our colleagues in other teams (payments, customer care and fraud prevention teams) by building the best back office features for their needs. Next to that, as a team you will provide an API that is used by the webshop and mobile app teams. It’s also part of your role to enable those teams with the necessary API functionality so that they can build the best experience for our customers.

Your tasks will include things like:

  • Building new functionality based on requirements (and use the opportunity to challenge [and even define] requirements together with the team to accomplish the best solution from both customer value and development effort perspective)
  • “You build it - you run it”: reviewing, testing and delivering changes to our production systems, and keeping an eye on the technical impact of those changes to the end user. You monitor our systems, address arising issues, and improve our monitoring to make sure that we respond to outages as effectively as possible so that our customers are rarely unable to use our product
  • Improving purposefully and in a persevering manner the quality of our services when it comes to their performance, stability, security but also understandability of the code
  • Contributing with your ideas, knowledge and critical thinking to the quarterly plans in the team. This is how you as a team are making sure that you’re working towards the quarterly goals in the most efficient and effective way

Your qualification

  • The ability to solve difficult business problems by decomposing them and by leading yourself and the team in solving them
  • The belief that technology is the instrument to solve business problems, and therefore it doesn’t stand alone as a self-fulfilling prophecy. You would like to be surrounded by people with this pragmatic mindset
  • Deep knowledge of Python stack (Django framework). You’re eager to learn and work with other programming languages (we use also PHP, Ruby and Javascript)
  • A pragmatic approach to software design. You’re aware of commonly applied design concepts and principles (DDD, OOD patterns, SOLID, DRY/KISS/YAGNI) and able to express your point of view to get people along with you during design discussions
  • Solid experience with RDBM's (MySQL, or PostgreSQL) in the context of running web applications under high load (+/- 1K rpm)
  • You master the art of ping-pong or some other game :-)

Will be a plus

  • Experience and/or interest of working on the edge of development and operations (devops mindset). It’s great if you know your way around CI/CD matters with Gitlab, Docker & AWS in a more general context!
  • Experience with coaching/mentoring other engineers
  • Understanding and experience applying enterprise integration patterns in distributed software system
  • Experience with performance optimization of databases and web applications
  • Advanced knowledge of security fundamentals in web world

What we offer

  • 30 days vacation to enjoy
  • The best relocation package in Amsterdam!
  • Budget & time for your personal growth plan, conferences, and events
  • Macbook Pro (13" or 15") + noise-canceling headset
  • Good compensation and contribution to the pension scheme
  • Refactor your body with our weekly Bootcamps & Yoga
  • Free Dutch courses together with your colleagues
  • Free lunch, snacks (vegetarian & vegan options included), friday drinks
  • A multicultural environment with 100 colleagues and over 24 different nationalities and growing
