We are Upvest. Our mission is to make investing as easy as spending money.
We’re looking for talented mid-level product engineers with a passion for both product and technology. You’ll be a key part of building the first European Investment API, enabling financial institutions to offer efficient, transparent investment products such as fractional shares, smart portfolios, and savings plans. Our API is already trusted by leading fintechs like Revolut, N26, Raisin, and Bunq, and we’re just getting started! We are backed by the world’s largest venture capital funds and investors, including BlackRock, Bessemer Venture Partners and FinTech enthusiasts.
We currently employ 170+ people across Europe with our headquarters based in Berlin, Germany. We are also open to hiring remotely in Germany or our Tallinn hub for this role. If you're currently based elsewhere but would like to move to Germany, we’re happy to support your relocation.
The role will give you the opportunity to:
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.
It is a plus if you have:
Experience with Investment products or the Fintech domain, in general.
Experience in event-driven architectures, event streaming, and event sourcing systems.
Experience with operating services in a decoupled, event-driven system, leveraging modern observability tooling (e.g. monitoring and tracing).
You’re likely to be successful in this role if:
You're excited about fintech and building the financial infrastructure of tomorrow.
You work with the customer in mind.
You are a true team player and feel energised in diverse teams.
You're hungry to learn and eager to grow quickly.
