PROJECT
Sezzle is a cutting-edge fintech company whose mission is to financially empower young consumers. Only one in three millennials own a credit card, and the vast majority of millennials possess a subprime credit score or no score at all. To address these problems, Sezzle has built a payment platform that increases purchasing power for consumers by offering interest-free instalment plans at online stores. This increase in purchasing power for consumers leads to increased sales and basket sizes for the 10,000+ eCommerce merchants that currently work with Sezzle. We are now bringing Sezzle to Europe to financially empower the next generation of shoppers.

Now, we are looking for a Senior Back-end Developer who will be responsible for delivering our European product roadmap and own localisation of our shopper and merchant products for the EU market working closely with our US engineering team. Ideally, you have some experience working in a big banking/payments/lending fintech company with microservices architecture. Your duties will include development, writing code, and documenting functionality. You should be able to build high-quality, innovative, and fully performing software in compliance with coding standards and technical design.

Note: Sezzle’s website is currently not available to the majority of Ukrainian IPs due to strict access control policy, we hope to adjust it soon.
