About Revolut

People deserve more from their money. More visibility, more control, and more freedom. Since 2015, Revolut has been on a mission to deliver just that. Our powerhouse of products — including spending, saving, investing, exchanging, travelling, and more — help our 45+ million customers get more from their money every day.

As we continue our lightning-fast growth,‌ 2 things are essential to our success: our people and our culture. In recognition of our outstanding employee experience, we've been certified as a Great Place to Work™. So far, we have 10,000+ people working around the world, from our offices and remotely, to help us achieve our mission. And we're looking for more brilliant people. People who love building great products, redefining success, and turning the complexity of a chaotic world into the simplicity of a beautiful solution.

About the role

Our Technology team isn’t just one of the best in the industry. It's one of the best in the world. And we’re proud of it. It’s our driving force — our engine 🚀

From building a new financial backend to creating an innovative app, there’s nothing they can’t do. Our Technology team isn’t here to fix legacy systems — it’s here to build world-class financial features from the ground up that'll be used by millions of people around the world 🌎

You may expect our Python Engineers to work on heavily regulated financial systems, but we love the unexpected. We’re better known internally for writing high-quality code and building complex novel solutions end-to-end.

These geniuses have created our chatbot — the lovely Rita — and they didn’t stop there. They also created automated financial crime quality controls in just a few weeks. They’re that good.

You’ll never work alone, either. As a Python Engineer, you’ll sit within a Product Team simultaneously working with Data Scientists, Analysts, Engineers, Product Owners, and Operations Managers to solve problems and make our rocket ship fly even higher.
