Who we are

Iute Group is a fast-growing fintech company founded in 2008 in Estonia. We operate in Albania, Moldova, North Macedonia, Bulgaria and Ukraine, offering consumer finance, payments, banking, and insurance services.

Our mission is to deliver an outstanding personal finance experience – powered by technology and elevated by the human touch.

About the role

We are looking for a Product Engineer to join us at an early stage of a strategically important initiative.

In this role, you will help design and build core systems from the ground up, working hands-on across backend and frontend and collaborating closely with product and business domain experts.

You will take ownership of features and product outcomes, contribute to technical and product decisions and help shape how we build software as our teams grow.

This is an opportunity to work with greenfield technology, influence what we build and how we build it, and help scale Estonian-built innovation into solutions for international markets.

What you’ll do

• Take end-to-end ownership of product outcomes, not only technical implementation

• Work directly with product and business stakeholders to understand customer problems and shape practical solutions

• Contribute to product discovery, challenge assumptions and help define what should be built

• Build rapid prototypes and experiments to validate ideas before investing in full-scale solutions

• Build and maintain backend services using Java and Spring Boot

• Ship modern user interfaces that turn product ideas into fast, intuitive customer experiences

• Work with scalable systems, databases, and microservice-based architectures

• Use customer feedback and product data to continuously improve features after launch

• Make pragmatic technical and product trade-offs to deliver customer value quickly

• Collaborate closely with engineers, product managers and stakeholders across teams

What we expect from you

• Strong experience in backend development with Java and Spring Boot

• Experience building and shipping modern user interfaces

• Strong product thinking and the ability to connect technical decisions with customer and business value

• Comfort working with ambiguity and turning loosely defined problems into working solutions

• A bias towards shipping, learning, and iterating based on real customer feedback

• Ability to communicate directly with business stakeholders and contribute constructively to product decisions

• Good judgment about when to build robustly, when to simplify and when to experiment

• Knowledge of scalable systems, databases and microservice architecture

• Familiarity with cloud platforms, containerisation and orchestration

• Interest in understanding customer behaviour, business processes and product performance

• A proactive mindset, strong ownership and the ability to work independently

• Background in fintech is a plus

• Fluency in English, both spoken and written

Our tech stack

• Java 21+, Spring Boot 3.x+

• Vue.js

• PostgreSQL

• Microservices and REST APIs

• AWS

• Docker, Kubernetes

What we offer

• Work on meaningful fintech products that reach millions

• A key role in a fast-growing international fintech company

• Opportunities for personal and professional growth

• Competitive salary

• Health or sports benefits, additional vacation days and support for life events

• A modern HQ office in the centre of Tallinn

Hiring process

Our recruitment process consists of three stages. We start with an initial screening call to get to know you and your expectations. This is followed by a combined company fit and technical interview, lasting approximately 1.5–2 hours, where you'll meet our team and discuss your experience, technical skills, and approach to building products.

In the final stage, you'll meet with the relevant Engineering Manager or Hiring Manager to explore the team, ways of working, and mutual expectations.

We aim to keep our hiring process straightforward, transparent, and respectful of your time.
