Kotlin Engineer (m/f/d) - Team Payments

At Flix, we offer a tech-driven environment where innovation meets real-world impact, with competitive pay, strong growth opportunities, and a culture of collaboration and ownership.  

As a Full-stack Engineer with a strong backend focus (Kotlin) you will help us build the future of payments for green and smart mobility. 

You’ll join our Payments Team - the heart of our checkout experience - as part of our Demand Division. Your work will directly impact how millions of people pay, how quickly their transactions are processed, and how much revenue we generate. We continuously work to improve payment authorization and conversion rates, increase payment efficiency and revenue protection, and ensure data reliability. At the same time, we’re integrating local payment methods across different markets and tackling complex engineering challenges along the way. 

We build our core services using Kotlin and Spring Boot, and our interfaces with TypeScript and React.js. We also maintain some legacy PHP systems — you don’t need to love it, but you should be open to working with it when needed. 

Our Payments Team consists of four backend engineers, two frontend engineers and an Engineering Manager.

We recognize that everyone carries a unique set of valuable skills and experiences. If you think you could have an impact even though you don't meet 100% of the requirements, we still encourage you to apply. We want to hear from you!
