Railsbank is growing fast and currently expanding the Vilnius engineering team.

Railsbank is an API based financial innovation and growth platform, designed for developers and product managers to rapidly conceptualise, prototype, build, launch and scale a financial services business, whether it be in one country, or around the world. Team in the Vilnius office will play an important role in ensuring the further growth of the company globally.

“The Railsbank platform is unique in that it enables any customer to build, launch and operate their financial services business globally and super fast. The team in Lithuania will be responsible for improvements on Railsbank platform core to provide new functionality and to enable other development teams as Railsbank grows around the world”, says Tadas Bakutis, Head of Software Development at Railsbank.

Railsbank is looking to make over 30 new engineering hires, especially those experienced in Clojure, Datomic and infrastructure-as-code.
