Backbase
AI Engineer
Backbase has entered a new era of digital banking with the launch of the world’s first AI-Native Banking OS. This is not just a platform; it is a fundamental shift in how banks operate. By unifying digital channels, front-office workspaces, and back-office operations under a single Control Plane, we enable banks to run as one. Our OS coordinates execution across customers, employees, and AI agents, ensuring every action is authorized, governed, and context-aware. At Backbase, we are transforming the promise of AI into measurable business impact for over 120 leading financial institutions globally.

You own what you ship
Subline
Real ownership means real responsibility. From day one, you set the pace, make the decisions, and see your work land where it matters. You drive the outcomes, you celebrate the wins.
The work is the standard
Subline
We built something that didn't exist before - an AI-native Banking OS where humans and AI agents work side by side, at scale, inside real banks. We raise the bar because we've seen what's possible when you don't settle.
Ambition without ego
Subline
You'll work with people who've shipped things most thought couldn't be done. Direct, down-to-earth, no egos. The kind of team where the best idea wins and everyone's genuinely glad when it does.
Real AI, running in real banks
Subline
We're not waiting for AI to be ready. It already is - running inside banks, serving customers, solving problems that matter, out in the real world today.
