🚀 Backend Engineer (Mid & Senior) (f/m/d)

As our next full-time backend engineer, you'll help us build a securities API for financial institutions, the first such API in Europe. Your goal is to take ownership of designing, developing and maintaining our microservice architecture (written in Go).

A greenfield project. Cutting edge technologies. No legacy code.

This role will give you the opportunity to:

• Build fault-tolerant, horizontally scalable systems. Using Microservice architecture powered by Docker, Kubernetes, Linkerd service mesh, and Kong as a Gateway.
• Build event-driven applications using Kafka
• Work on different aspects of our API-product portfolio as part of the development team
• Develop data processing and storing mechanisms
• Work on improving the reliability of our API tools, as well as developing innovative tools
• Work with an agile methodology: at the end of the 2-weeks sprint cycle we have a demo with a retrospective to make our software delivering faster

Why Upvest:

• We're working on solving a hard problem: fixing the European securities financial infrastructure that empowers more people to be able to invest. You have the opportunity to contribute to this change.
• We invest in you. From access to a personal coach, development budget and plenty of opportunities to grow in your role.
• We take hiring seriously with a strong focus on keeping a high bar when interviewing (equally important is that we also hire decent people who are passionate about their craft and helping up achieve our shared mission).
• While we're not quite fully-remote, we are committed to being a flexible employer as we understand you don't have to be in the office to do your best work.
• We live a culture of empowerment, trust (that we hire the best people and get out of their way) and openness (there's a greater advantage in sharing information than keeping it to ourselves).
• We ensure we take time to have fun as a team. We're looking forward to having more time in-person again once this becomes possible again.
