About this role

Our mission is to enable everyone to build wealth

We reinvent how trading and investing work by creating exceptional products people love.

Fostering a culture of excellence and high velocity is the key to our success.

Today, we serve over 6 million clients, with more than โ‚ฌ38 billion in assets under management, a testament to the scale and trust weโ€™ve built in just a few years.

Our platform is powered by a modern, high-performance engineering stack designed for scale and reliability: Java 21 (Spring), Go, Node.js (TypeScript), PostgreSQL, MariaDB, Redis, Kafka, ClickHouse, Elasticsearch, Docker, Grafana, AWS, k8s, Kibana.

We offer remote or hybrid working, depending on role, with flexibility balanced against team performance and collaboration needs.

We also provide an attractive benefits package, which may vary depending on your location. Full details will be shared during the initial screening, and we encourage you to come prepared with any questions.

What youโ€™ll do

  • Lead the technical development of an entire business domain. Engage in forming requirements, design the architecture, and lead the entire software development life cycle.

  • Lead a compact, autonomous, cross-functional team with short release cycles - we rely on agile, independent teams of sharp and driven people with just the right amount of processes to steer off anarchy and not sacrifice velocity. Find the most valuable strengths of your teammates and provide them with mentorship in order to develop them further.

  • Develop solutions by taking a holistic approach to problem-solving - we expect you to understand the business problems, our service architecture and the underlying technologies and infrastructure and take everything into consideration.

  • Develop for performance, scale and resilience โ€“ your code will run in an uncompromising environment. Downtime, latency and data loss are intolerable.

  • Take initiative to identify areas of product improvement.

What you need to have

  • Experience in leading the development and subsequent release of a complex/high-demand client-facing product.

  • Experience in leading, coaching, and mentoring software engineers towards delivering high-quality software together with them.

  • Experience with developing services in a microservice architecture.ย 

  • Advanced knowledge of at least two programming languages.

  • Deep understanding of RDBMS, messaging brokers and in-memory data storages.
