Description
About The Opportunity
Hi, I'm Oussama Salimi, the Engineering Manager at N26, and I am looking for a Backend Engineer to join the Investments team here at N26.
Why is this role exciting and why should you apply?
-
Democratize wealth: You will build a secure, real-time trading platform powering everything from Crypto and Stocks to ETFs and Managed Funds.
-
High-stakes engineering: Operate at the thrilling intersection of high-speed trading and strict financial regulation where markets move fast.
-
True autonomy: You are an active partner in shaping the product, not just a ticket taker. We trust you to be the owner of the delivery.
-
Get Stuff Done Days (GSDD): Every six weeks, take two days of dedicated innovation time to explore new tech stacks, fix nagging bugs, or prototype outside the roadmap.
In This Role, You Will:
-
Write high-quality, performant code (primarily Kotlin) and navigate the codebase fluently.
-
Handle deployment, bug fixing, and incident handling with a high level of independence, taking features from concept to production.
-
Act as a sparring partner for Product Managers during Product Discovery, ensuring technical decisions support the user experience.
-
Question the status quo by asking "why are we building this?" and "is there a simpler way?"
-
Identify knowledge gaps and technical problems, taking active ownership to address them without waiting to be told.
-
Share your learnings from GSDD projects with the wider team, turning individual curiosity into collective knowledge.
-
There will be a lot more too, this is a role that will require a lot of flexibility.
What you need to be successful:
-
Proven experience as a Software Engineer taking features from concept to production with minimal supervision.
-
A track record of thriving in dynamic environments where requirements evolve rapidly.
-
A growth mindset: you treat feedback as a tool for engineering excellence and have a specific plan for your own learning.
-
An "evidence over opinion" approach: you couple every critique of a problem with a practical proposal for its solution.
Skills:
-
Strong proficiency in backend development, with Kotlin being our default for new services.
-
Experience working with Distributed Microservices and Event-Driven Architecture (Kafka).
-
Good understanding of cloud infrastructure and containerization (AWS, Kubernetes, and Docker).
-
Experience with observability and monitoring tools (Datadog, ELK/OpenSearch).
-
Resilience and proactive communication: you know how to navigate unresponsive stakeholders and unblock yourself.
-
Constructive dissatisfaction: you are a "System Improver" who proactively fixes broken processes.
Interview Process And What To Expect:
-
Initial Recruiter Screen
-
Codility Test
-
Pair Coding
-
Systems Design
-
Behavioural Interview
