Mid-Level Product Engineer - Remote

Overview

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.

In Short

• 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.

Requirements

• 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).

Benefits

• 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. You get a learning development budget and plenty of opportunities to grow in your role.
• We have a strong engineering culture encouraging knowledge sharing. Learn from our team members who present internally on various software engineering topics as well as internationally at various developer conferences.
• We take hiring seriously with a strong focus on keeping a high bar when interviewing (equally important is that we hire decent people, who are passionate about their craft and helping us 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).
