Raisin works with over 300 banks. Today, the platform holds over 75 billion euros in assets from around one million customers which have accrued over 5 billion euros in interest with their investments.

Team

The User Experience Team at Raisin is a dynamic cross‑functional unit shaping the design and experience of core web platforms across markets.

You'll also help drive the evolution of our Headless CMS and champion web accessibility standards across all touchpoints.

Beyond technical excellence, you'll play a central role in people development — mentoring peers, fostering a collaborative engineering culture, and supporting individual growth. We value team health as much as platform quality, and your leadership will be instrumental in both.
