Shine’s Engineering team

At Shine, we build the pro account that changes the daily banking and administrative life of business owners (freelancers, professionals, SMBs). The FinTech market is one of the most challenging, so we need to build the most reliable, scalable and user-focused code to insure the best experience possible to our community, as well as a robust architecture to keep growing.

To ensure real impact and ownership for our 60 engineers, they are divided into 6 Tribes:

• The 4 Product teams create fresh new features on large scopes (client acquisition, user experience, administrative copilot, and banking subjects).
• The Platform team handles the underwater (Cloud infrastructure, undefined, Core APIs, developer tools).
• The Data team designs efficient data pipelines (Data Engineering, Science and Analysis).

Regarding our stack, our architecture is organized in microservices and cloud functions, and we are using React, React Native, Node.js, TypeScript, GraphQL, CircleCI, GitHub Actions, Kibana, Docker, GCP.

In the context of Shine’s scaling, we decided this year to split the Platform tribe into 3 squads, each focusing on specific aspects:

• Infrastructure/Cloud (infra-as-code, networks, observability)
• Core Services (authorization, authentification, Shine Connect…)
• Developer Experience (internal tools, documentation, CI/CD
