Whoever you are and whatever your role is, with Luminor, you will get a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build a local banking champion.
We’re looking for a Python Software Engineer to help decompose and migrate legacy functionality into modern, containerized microservices running on Kubernetes. You’ll work across discovery, design, and delivery—reverse‑engineering existing systems, defining clean APIs and data contracts, building reliable services, and evolving our platform with strong observability, CI/CD, and security practices.
You’ll collaborate closely with architects, product owners, SRE/DevOps, and domain experts to deliver incremental value using patterns like strangler fig, while ensuring functional parity, performance, and compliance throughout the transition.
How You Will Make an Impact:
Design, implement, and continuously improve systems for messaging, service‑to‑service communication, APIs, file management, and workflow orchestration.
Ensure high standards of quality, security, performance, and availability across all solutions.
Build Proofs of Concept and contribute to technical discussions with engineering teams.
Support and guide stakeholders on messaging and middleware‑related challenges.
Perform testing, troubleshoot issues, and resolve defects.
Gain expertise across a wide range of banking products and business processes.
Work as part of a cross‑functional Agile development team in an international environment.
What Makes You a Great Fit:
Strong hands‑on experience in Python software development.
Experience with AWS, container orchestration (Kubernetes, Docker), and CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Argo CD).
Strong background in streaming, event‑driven, or MQ‑based architectures (e.g., Apache Kafka).
Experience with SQL databases; NoSQL knowledge is a plus.
Familiarity with workflow tools such as Apache Airflow or Argo Workflows is an advantage.
Understanding of DevOps practices, infrastructure as code, and security best practices.
A strong sense of ownership and responsibility.
Fluent English is required in spoken and written communication due to working on the Pan-Baltic level
Why You Will Love Working Here:
Flexibility. Flexible working hours, Hybrid work, and the possibility to work from anywhere in the EU, Iceland, Switzerland, and the UK (in total 90 days per year)
International teams. Teams that go outside Pan-Baltic borders, where people value challenging work together with good humor and having fun
Culture. You’ll be joining a team where things move fast, ideas flow freely, and change is part of the everyday. It’s a dynamic environment that keeps you learning, growing, and never bored
