Senior Backend Engineer - JavaScript/TypeScript
Ebury (Madrid/Málaga) Office - Hybrid: 4 days in the office, 1 day working from home per week
Ebury is a hyper-growth FinTech on a mission to revolutionize international trade. We are building the "Internal Engine" of our global delivery organization, and our Client Operations Automation squad is at the heart of this transformation.
We are moving beyond traditional automation into the era of Agentic Orchestration. You won't just be writing scripts; you will be architecting the high-performance distributed systems and AI workers that power real-time compliance, client lifecycle management (CLM), and intelligent RFI workflows.
