BACKEND ENGINEER

Backend Engineer @ Embat
Embat was born to design the best way for medium and large sized enterprises to plan their finances and monitor their cash flow in real time.
We are building a financial management platform that allows them to understand what has happened in the past, track what is happening today and forecast the future of their businesses.
Our mission is to build a product that leverages technology and excellent client experience to empower our clients to make the best business decisions by accessing the best financial information, 100x more efficiently than using Excel files.
Our solution translates into savings of up to 75% of the time that financial teams spend on manual tasks. This allows them to focus on what matters most: making a greater impact within their organization and achieving a better balance between personal and professional life.
Our platform is already the trusted treasury management software of a large number of medium and large-sized corporates in Europe.
Composed of a fantastic team of people of 60+ members with different backgrounds and nationalities.
Backed by reputable international investors with the ambition to make Embat global and a great place to work! We are backed by top-tier international VCs.
In February 2024, we closed our third round of investment worth 15 million euros! This has been led by the renowned international investment fund Creandum, with the invaluable support of our partners Samaipata, 4Founders Capital, VentureFriends, Hugo Arévalo and Martin Blessing.
