Who we are 

We simplify wealth creation. Founded in 2014 in Vienna, Austria by Eric Demuth, Paul Klanschek and Christian Trummer, we’re here to help people trust themselves enough to build their financial freedom — for now and the future. Our user-friendly, trade-everything platform empowers both first-time investors and seasoned experts to invest in the cryptocurrencies, crypto indices, stocks*, precious metals and commodities* they want — with any sized budget, 24/7. Our global team works across different cultures and time zones, bringing our products to more than 4 million customers, making us one of Europe’s safest and most secure platforms that powers modern investing.

Headquartered in Austria but operating across Europe, our products are built by fast-moving, talented, “roll-up-your-sleeves-and-make-it-happen” kind of people. It’s these diverse perspectives and innovative minds operating as ONE TEAM that keep Bitpanda at the cutting edge of our industry. So if you’re someone who thinks big, moves fast and wants to make an impact right from day one, then get ready to join our industry-changing team. Let’s go!

Your mission

Protecting Bitpanda and our customers by driving one of the more important core backend systems; our Operations Hub. Ops Hub has two teams of 8 people, Team One for building all Risk and Compliance Tech, and Team Two for building our customer management panel. Both teams ensure that Bitpanda stays technically compliant, and we're able to stop any activities that would potentially harm our users. As a Senior Software Engineer at here, you will be responsible for writing, reviewing and maintaining clean and scalable code over all phases of the Software Development Life Cycle; along side mentoring and coaching others around you. 

With your teams, you will work on business critical projects, tackling architectural and conceptual challenges, pick and integrate with 3rd party vendors and interface and collaborate with many other Engineers and teams around Bitpanda such as our Brokerage or Trade Hub teams. We have many new, exciting but also challenging initiatives coming up which will play a crucial role in Bitpanda’s future success – which you could be part of.

What you’ll do

  • Design and develop scalable, resilient, message-driven services 
  • Write clean Java code with high test coverage and extensive testing (e.g. integration)
  • Using event driven architecture, drive change in our monoliths and microservices
  • Work closely with non functional requirements such as reliability, performance, scalability and maintainability
  • Take care of new feature development and future proofing of our core backend products
  • Help the team migrate from PHP to Java; you're the expert

Who you are

  • You have a track record as a Senior Backend Engineer using Java (11+)
  • Working knowledge of both relational and non-relational databases, preferably PostgresSQL and MongoDB
  • Experience creating and maintaining publicly available REST APIs
  • Practical knowledge in using message-oriented middleware (Apache Kafka or RabbitMQ)
  • Know-how setting up and running CI/CD pipelines and tools and hands on experience AWS
  • You have a fundamental belief that all code should be SOLID and thoroughly tested 

What’s in it for you

  • Hybrid-working model with 60-Work From Anywhere days 
  • Total compensation package including participation in our Bitpanda stock option plan
  • Competitive benefits programs and policies shaped by our flexibility-first philosophy 
  • Exclusive premiums when trading on Bitpanda
  • Company-wide and team events — both in-person and virtually!
  • Bitpanda swag to keep you living the brand

And, above all, the opportunity to learn and grow as part of Bitpanda’s incredible journey towards being Europe’s future #1 investment platform.

Bitpanda is committed to fostering a fair and equal environment based on trust and mutual respect. We believe that a diverse and inclusive workplace is paramount to our success and we are committed to building a team that represents a wide variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills.
