About Kontomatik
First to get an Account Information Service Provider license in Poland (💪), we’re offering services that help banks and loan companies. Two of our main products are PSD2 based automatic financial data gathering platform via APIs from banks in Poland and Europe as well as an advanced PDF parsing tool that extracts data from bank statements.
The idea behind it is quite simple - those can be used to judge if a person will be able to pay off a loan. We gather the financial data and using Machine Learning tools we label transactions and calculate our proprietary probability of default score. Of course there are other applications such as bookkeeping, expense tracking and many more.
About the job
About the job
We're not gonna lie, being a Project Manager is basically working on a bit of everything at all times - on projects, our product, maintenance, delivery, testing or documentation 🤯
In our IT team this mostly means continuous monitoring of our services, describing, planning and delivering new features, contacting banks regarding their API performance and supporting our business team as well as our clients in technical matters. Typical tasks include:
In our IT team this mostly means continuous monitoring of our services, describing, planning and delivering new features, contacting banks regarding their API performance and supporting our business team as well as our clients in technical matters. Typical tasks include:
- plan features development and discuss them with programmers;
- meet with clients to present technical aspects of our products, support their struggles during the integration phase;
- fill out RFPs to present our perfect services 😏;
- contact banks about integration and their API performance;
- provide technical input for clients and business teams, including clients/users official communication, contracts and documentation;
- monitor the performance of our services, address potential issues and create reports;
- if you want to, you can also support recruitment processes;
- ...tbd? We'll try to adjust your main tasks to your specific skill set and current needs 🙂
It is a Junior position, meaning that as far as project management goes, we'll help you along the way, we just need you to be technical enough, be willing to learn and have some predisposition when it comes to that area :)
Our expectations:
- basic knowledge about software development life cycle;
- ability to gather and create functional and non-functional requirements;
- being a technical person is very important to synergize with our developers and clients, so we require a Computer Science degree;
- previous experience in creating a website, an online process or similar (either as a programmer or someone shaping requirements and working with IT);
- with analytical skills and problem solving mindset be able to communicate effectively;
- you need to be proficient in both Polish and English since we have most clients in Poland and many abroad.
We're accepting fully remote candidates (within Poland) though being able to work from the office a few days a week will be a big plus.
Nice to have:
- knowledge of different project management methodologies;
- knowledge of GDPR requirements and experience in cooperation with legal teams;
- UX/UI knowledge;
- experience working with external clients (it is quite different to an internal cooperation);
- knowledge of the financial and banking markets or products;
- memes ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
We offer:
- competent and helpful colleagues (as we humbly describe ourselves);
- technical management;
- Agile (not Scrum) work methodology based on priorities;
- technical excellence mindset - we are pretty serious about this;
- sports subscription and medical insurance after a trial period;
- paid time off.
Working tools:
- MacBook Pro (Windows is a no-no);
- YouTrack (it's waaay faster than Jira);
- Google Workspace (keeping documents in cloud over sending hundreds of versions of the same file over emails)
- Office 365 in case you need it;
- our technology stack involves mainly Java, Elixir and Python, with all apps deployed to Google Cloud.
Recruitment process:
- CV selection - to see whether your education and experience are compatible with our needs;
- phone call - selected candidates will receive a phone call, during which we will ask you some questions that are general/HR related and probably some regarding the merit of the field as well;
- full interview - if you did well during the phone call, we will organize a longer meeting where we will talk in depth about your knowledge, skills, experience, and answer any questions you might have as well;
- (optionally) recruitment task - depending on whether we want to explore further any of your skills in practice, we might ask you to do a job-related task at home;
- offer - assuming you've passed all the steps, we'll make you an offer to come work with us and discuss the details of you joining the team.
