Senior Software Engineer

• Make an impact in a true product team with a large ownership scope
• Work with cutting-edge technologies (Go is the primary language; it’s okay if you’re willing to switch from another language) without a legacy codebase
• Work on improving the reliability of our API
• Deliver fast and often. We embrace an agile methodology with a retrospective and demo at the end of the two-week cycle
• Design, build and own event-driven, fault-tolerant, horizontally scalable distributed systems using a Microservice architecture powered by Docker, Kubernetes, Kafka and PostgreSQL

Benefits

• Flexibility - We work in a hybrid set-up, with the team spread around Germany and other parts of Europe. We give you the choice and budget to work where you’re most comfortable and productive, either at home or in the office. You choose.
• Development - In keeping with one of our values, ‘Learn and grow’, every Upvenger has access to a development budget. And in line with one of our other values, ‘Own the outcome’, how you make the most of it is up to you.
• Wellbeing - Everyone here has access to our in-house coach. You can have regular sessions to support you personally and professionally. We also believe it’s important to have time out to rest and recover, which is why we offer 30 days’ holiday.
• Greenfield projects - We’re building something quite complex. A first in Europe. This means you get to work with cutting-edge technologies, with no legacy code.

• You’re hungry to learn and eager to grow quickly
• Experience with operating services in a decoupled, event-driven system, leveraging modern observability tooling (e.g. monitoring and tracing)
• You work with the customer in mind
• Experience with Investment products or the Fintech domain, in general
• You are a true team player and feel energzed in diverse teams
• Experience in event-driven architectures, event streaming, and event sourcing systems
• You’re excited about fintech and building the financial infrastructure of tomorrow
• We’re looking for talented senior product engineers with a passion for both product and technology
