AI-First Software Engineer

Join our skilled team in Lithuania to build innovative banking solutions using modern technologies. You'll focus on creating tomorrow's digital banking solutions without the constraints of legacy systems.

For us, software engineering is more than writing code. It starts with understanding the problem, questioning the requirement and designing the right solution — and ends with software that runs reliably in production.

The word engineer shares its root with ingenuity — the Latin ingenium: talent, cleverness, the ability to invent. That is the engineer we are looking for: someone who solves problems creatively, not just someone who writes code.

We are hiring with a focus on AI and security. We work AI-first: AI agents are part of how we build software every day, which leaves more of your time for the parts that need an engineer — thinking, designing with security in mind, and deciding.

Our work is mainly backend — APIs, integrations, event-driven services and cloud — and sometimes full-stack. Our main stack is .NET, but we hire engineers, not specialists in a single language or layer.

As an engineer, your impact reaches beyond your own squad: you take on problems that are not yet well defined, set the engineering direction, and help the people around you grow.

We enjoy working across the bank and collaborating with diverse teams to build solutions that deliver tangible results. This is a great place to learn. Our environment changes constantly — new tools, new AI capabilities, new problems — and we expect you to learn fast, keep learning and help others do the same. You will continuously develop new skills through hands-on experience, and we actively support your professional growth.

We work in a hybrid model, with at least three days per week in our Vilnius office.

• Turn broadly defined problems into a clear engineering path forward
• Lead solution design and technical direction, owning key trade-offs

• Shape the backlog with the Product Owner and challenge requirements where needed
• Work across squads and functions on broader technical challenges

• Work AI-first with GitHub Copilot and MCP tools, while ensuring solutions run well in production

About You :

• Take ownership of complex or undefined problems, create clarity and see them through
