Back-end Engineer (Python/aPIs) in Belvo

A little bit about us:

We are Belvo, a financial API platform for Latam that enables any company or developer to access and interpret their end-users' financial information. We are turning the rich and diverse Latam financial ecosystem into a set of developer-friendly tools and APIs.

We’re a highly-technical, passionate and driven team. We have offices in Barcelona, Mexico City and São Paulo and some of us work remotely.

We are tackling a very challenging problem: connecting fintech innovators with legacy financial infrastructure. We strive to go beyond the limits of what is possible today and to do so in an elegant and developer-first way.

Our tech stack:

• We're building our platform using modern technologies, putting the focus on reliability and long-term maintainability
• We primarily use Python on the backend. We use battle-tested technologies such as Django, and we are heavy users of Python's asyncio for some parts of our stack
• We use Javascript, Vue.js and Sass on the frontend.

The experience team is building applications and services that expose end-users' financial information through a set of public-facing, easy to use APIs. In addition to that, we take care of the Developer Experience through documentation, SDKs, examples and other developer-facing tools.

• Develop our client-facing APIs, especially as we add data sources, endpoints or a new product altogether.
• Build excellent documentation, SDKs, client libraries. Continuously improve the "developer experience" of Belvo's platform.
• Be customer-focused, think as a user of our APIs. Proactively tackle potential improvements and customer pain points.
• Carefully manage API retro compatibility, document API changes and implement deprecation plans.
• Implement automated quality assurance and monitoring modules.

• Degree in Computer Science or equivalent working experience
• Strong experience designing and developing RESTful APIs
• Working experience programming in Python. Django is a plus.
• Track record of producing A-grade documentation for public consumption
• Detail-oriented developer, coding so others can read and work with your code
• Willingness to solve challenging problems

• Fintech and SaaS past experience
• Experience with techniques and tools for crawling, extracting and processing data
• Relevant programming knowledge in other languages such as Javascript, Java, PHP, Ruby or Go.
• Experience building large-scale platforms with global reach.
