About Apron
Apron was started by a group of people who’d spent years building products for a number of global fintech companies. But there was one problem that no-one was solving. Business payments. The kind that buy tomatoes, tiles, and till rolls. The kind that keep suppliers happy and business booming. The kind that, before you know it, eat up your entire day.
One million small businesses in the UK will spend 5 hours this week paying and reconciling invoices. Collectively, that's over 500 years. And this is a problem that’s affecting entrepreneurs. Dreamers. Risk takers. Backbones of our communities. Imagine what they could do with this time instead. What would they build? What would they create? That’s why we created Apron as a critical cog in the small business machine. We flip the payment experience from blocking business to boosting it. Apron weaves neatly into your workflow, and tightens it up, turning hours into minutes.
We are backed by Index Ventures, Bessemer Venture Partners, with participation of Visionaries Club and the founders of Melio and Klarna.
What you’ll be doing
Joining us as a Backend Developer at Apron means you'll be right at the heart of our growing team. You'll work closely with Frontend Engineers, Product Managers, Designers and Support, which means you really get to know our products inside out. Plus, you'll get to care about our customers and help shape the future of what we offer
You'll be working on a variety of new and existing features.
Contributing to feature development even before setting to code. Teams plan features implementation together and every voice matters.
Sharing your experience and driving innovation, proactively suggesting improvements.
Designing systems for seamless integration with payment providers and BaaS platforms, ensuring scalability for market expansion. You'll also explore serverless solutions and implement Infrastructure-as-Code principles for efficient infrastructure management.
Working on multiple integrations with payment, accounting and other providers to make sure we can provide the easiest process for clients.
What you’ll need
We primarily utilise Kotlin on the server side, so while we do not mandate proficiency specifically in Kotlin, readiness to work with it is essential.
Experience with relational databases.
Working knowledge of cloud platforms, with preference for Google Cloud Platform.
Keen attention to code quality, passion for efficient architecture, and commitment to optimising performance.
Would be a plus if you:
Actively contribute to open source projects, demonstrating your dedication to collaborative development and community engagement. We look forward to exploring your GitHub profile with genuine curiosity.
Proficient in JVM-based languages, particularly Kotlin, for server-side development.
Have hands-on experience with Kubernetes and Terraform.
Have experience with advanced Postgres features like GIST indexes, partitioning and replication.
