Meet the job

We are looking for pioneers to help us establish and scale up our new hub in the US. 

You will be an integral part of creating the direction for the Android team in the US.

Your goal is to seamlessly integrate the Backbase platform into our customers’ systems and then build on top of that, making a final solution perfectly tailored towards customer needs.
