Senior Backend Engineer
Help children play with their money
We usually respond within three days
At Gimi, we believe that Financial Superskills are essential in a modern cashless society and that kids should learn early-on how to earn, save and spend their own money. Our reward winning app combines hands-on money management tools with digital lessons based on the latest research within digital didactics.

Welcome to Gimi
We are looking for a bold, trustworthy and friendly Back End engineer to join our Tech team.
We at Gimi have taken on the problem of financial literacy and the fact that less than 1% of the world’s children can access a mobile bank built for them. Therefore, we have built an app with the aim to educate 10M children in personal finance, and in our own way, to revolutionize the traditional banking industry.
Even though we might be seen as the leader in our field. We are small, and we aspire to grow fast. We partner with banks, while we try to build a 10x better banking experience. It is not easy - and it comes with failure and hard work. So this position is probably not for everyone.
You’ll be a crucial part of our cross-functional team, consisting of engineers, product and business professionals. Gimi is a fast moving startup company taking quick decisions and always focusing on delivering value to our customers.
We have a cozy office at Nytorget in Stockholm where we work from a couple of times per week. So yes, we are a hybrid-remote company.
