Backend/Data engineer - Java/Scala

Back End / Data Engineer
Our team are building the revenue platform that drives how revenue and taxes are processed across the company — enabling reliable, scalable financial operations across every market, product line, and partner. Our systems are essential to client's ability to earn, track, and report revenue and taxes, supporting everything from subscriptions and advertising to creator payouts.

As engineers on this team, we design and maintain the backend and data platform capabilities that power millions of transactions each day with precision. We build services that handle tax calculations, produce compliant financial records, and support regulatory requirements across global markets — all while staying agile to keep up with client's evolving business models. We equip Finance teams with flexible, configurable tools that govern how revenue and taxes are applied across products, enabling rapid adjustments without needing deep technical expertise. Our modular, process-oriented components simplify the development, maintenance, and scaling of the critical Order to Cash enterprise process that underpin the financial operations.

We’re now expanding into the Tax Solutions domain, building capabilities for Tax Reporting and regulatory compliance. This effort spans backend, data, and frontend engineering, offering a unique opportunity to shape client's future tax platform from the ground up.
We're looking for engineers passionate about building complex, high-impact systems. You’ll work closely with stakeholders in Finance (Accounting and Tax), Product, and Engineering to design solutions that are scalable, auditable, and robust. If you’re energized by the challenge of transforming intricate business processes into clean, extensible platforms — and want to help fortify client’s financial foundation — we’d love to have you on the team.

What You’ll Do
-Gain deep expertise in client's revenue platform, understanding how it enables financial operations, compliance, and strategic decision-making across the company.
-Design and implement scalable backend and data systems that process millions of transactions daily — supporting accurate tax calculation, billing, revenue recognition, financial configuration, and tax reporting.
-Build intuitive, self-serve tools that empower Finance teams to define and manage product-specific revenue and tax configuration independently, without requiring engineering involvement.
-Develop and enhance modular platform capabilities that encodes critical enterprise workflows, promoting consistency, reusability, and ease of maintenance across financial systems.
-Lead the creation of new platform capabilities within the Tax Solutions space, focusing on Tax -Reporting and global regulatory compliance.
-Partner closely with Engineers, Product and Finance stakeholders to design systems that are scalable, auditable, and highly reliable.
-Champion engineering best practices, strong architectural design, and operational excellence across backend and data platforms.
-Foster a collaborative team culture rooted in shared ownership, constructive feedback, and continuous improvement.

Who You Are
-You possess a T-shaped engineering skill set — deep expertise in either data or backend engineering, while growing the ability to work effectively across both. For this role, experience or familiarity with processing large-scale transactional and financial data, using batch/streaming frameworks like Spark, Flink, or Beam (with Scala for data engineering), and building scalable backend systems in Java is a strong advantage.
-You possess a foundational understanding of system design, data structures, and algorithms, coupled with a strong desire to learn quickly, embrace feedback, and continuously improve your technical skills.
-You’re familiar with cloud-native development and deployment, ideally within the Google Cloud Platform.
-You think critically about system design and strive to build solutions that are reliable, maintainable, and auditable at scale.
-You have good communication skills and can articulate your ideas and ask clarifying questions.
-You love collaborating with others.
-You thrive in ambiguous and fast-changing environments, and know how to make progress even when requirements are evolving.
-You approach platform engineering with empathy for your users — prioritizing usability, configurability, and long-term sustainability.
-You care deeply about code quality, testing, and documentation, and you aim to build systems that are easy to understand and operate.
-You enjoy collaborating across functions and bring clarity and alignment when working with engineering, finance, and product partners.
-You’re naturally curious, self-motivated, and always looking for ways to grow your technical skills and improve how things are done.

For this position, you will be located in Sweden.
