Back End Software Engineer

Santander Auto Software is looking for a remote Back End Software Engineer. Santander Auto Software is a fully remote software team within the Auto-Finance Domain of Santander. Working with ownership and autonomy, we've built from scratch, a state-of-the-art global software platform and product suite that is being rolled out across Europe. The business is 100% enabled by modern software technology and the organization is comprised of skilled software builders distributed across Europe.

We have been building out our fast-paced culture with ownership, autonomy, and collaboration at its heart. We have a bias for action, a curious mindset, and all of this means we deliver high-quality software with a large impact that every staff member gets to be a part of.

Join us if you are looking for an opportunity to work with a tech company mindset and support software development. Building impactful technology solutions that serve thousands of international customers. This role is likely to be a good fit if you are curious, passionate, and enjoy a respectful and empowering culture where software teams partner with experienced product managers, technical program managers, and software leadership.

We are shaping the way we work through innovation, cutting-edge technology, collaboration, and the freedom to explore new ideas.

We are looking for skilled back-end focused software engineers with experience working with Java & Kotlin, along with Spring Boot, Kubernetes, and AWS, who have experience working in a software on demand production environment. You will build cloud-native, AWS-based, greenfield software and will have time and support to invent solutions to a wide variety of user, business, and technical challenges. We have no cut-and-paste roles and neither will your software be of the cut-and-paste (or integrate and configure) variety. We operate a 'build it and own it' culture, and so you will have a DevOps and individual contributor mindset.

These will be key hires for back-end building squads and help shape this area of the business for scale and be a key member of a fast-growing global team!
