Description

(Mid/Senior/Staff) Backend Engineer – London Please note that the positions are based in London, United Kingdom — relocation and visa support is provided if required. THE BEST WORK OF YOUR CAREER Trade Republic is the largest savings platform in Europe — we operate in 18 countries, serving +10 million customers who trust us with over €150B in assets. But we’re striving for more. We have a bold mission to empower everyone to build wealth with easy, safe, and free access to financial systems. You will have the opportunity to grow your career by collaborating with a team of outstanding talents and state of the art technology to build a lasting, positive future for millions. WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING Build and test services and products using modern tools from the JVM ecosystem such as Kotlin, Spring and Vert.x, Hibernate or jOOQ. Design cloud services focusing on high availability, low latency and scalability (on top of AWS). Implement automated software delivery using GitHub Actions, container-based CI/CD pipelines, and Kubernetes orchestration. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR At least 5 years of experience in software engineering (preferably in JVM ecosystem). We are hiring from mid to staff level, so whether you have a few years of experience and are ready for more ownership or you have been leading complex systems for many years, we would love to hear from you. Experience with developed and shipped scalable features within a service oriented architecture. A strong commitment to delivering reliable and maintainable software using an iterative development approach and continuous delivery. Experience with building platform services that act as a foundation and accelerator for product development (prior experience in platform/foundations-focused teams is a plus). The ability to work in a flexible hybrid setup, with 2-3 days a week in the office. WHY YOU SHOULD APPLY NOW Our culture rewards ownership, excellence, and high energy. We care deeply about outcomes and hold each other accountable — we’re here to win and fix one of the largest challenges Europeans face — closing the pension gap and democratising wealth. If this gets you fired up, reach out! We believe it’s our team’s varied identities and backgrounds that make us sharper and stronger. We’re committed to creating an environment where everyone feels respected and has equal opportunity to thrive in their careers.
