Who you are

- Experience with agile development practices and familiarity with JIRA ticket creation
- Familiarity with practical, real-world applications of accounting, retail or commercial banking, or APIs would be very relevant to this position
- Demonstrable familiarity with any high-level programming language is interesting, but not required. We use mediums such as XML and JSON, and other technologies such as Java, Python and Kotlin
- Willingness to question and bring ideas to the table about how to improve processes rather than stick to the status quo

- Work with diverse people from a wide range of backgrounds
- Play a significant part in managing and driving the execution of the product growth from a technical and platform perspective
Our take
Small/medium sized businesses (SMBs) have come under heightened operational pressure over recent years. It’s no help that this group has historically been radically underserved by legacy banks, but now the tide is turning: many banking institutions are doubling down on improving the quality and efficiency of their commercial banking solutions, and software company FISPAN is helping them get there.
FISPAN helps companies embed their commercial banking services into the existing ERP or accounting software their customers use to run their business. It’s a great way for banks to outsource the level of innovation required to keep up with commercial client demand - and, therefore, a great way of competing with the more agile neobanks, who are siphoning off legacy banking clients in substantial numbers.
FISPAN’s astute positioning has made its platform increasingly attractive for banks under pressure to keep up with the break-neck pace of change in fintech. It’s taking advantage of it too, with plans to expand to the lucrative European and Asian Pacific banking markets.
