Jobbeschreibung

Overview

Deutsche Bank Technology in Berlin

DB Technology is a global team of tech specialists, spread across multiple trading hubs and tech centres. We have a strong focus on promoting technical excellence - our engineers work at the forefront of financial services innovation using cutting-edge technologies.

Our Berlin location is our most recent addition to our global network of tech centres and growing strongly. We are committed to building a diverse workforce and to creating excellent opportunities for talented engineers and technologists. Our tech teams and business units use agile ways of working to create #GlobalHausbank solutions from our home market.

The Liquidity, Data & Analytics group is at the heart of Corporate Bank technology. We build and maintain platforms that power:

• The bank's core cash account utility and liquidity services
• Critical data services for payments and cash accounts
• A client analytics platform used across the Corporate Bank

We operate at massive scale—billions of transactions, millions of accounts—and are transforming our technology stack with greenfield initiatives and modern architectures.

You will have the opportunity to influence the design of complex platforms from Day One and help lead the teams to expand upon our platform to solve the technology challenges of tomorrow: providing automation solutions, building out components of our single-user interface portal—our cornerstone technology platform that is both internal and external client-facing. Our team is tasked with transforming the Corporate Bank on a distinctive portfolio of work, introducing green-field technology and responsibilities that include transforming operational teams.

As a Principal Engineer, you will be a hands-on technical expert and thought leader, shaping the architecture and direction of our platforms. You will work closely with engineering teams, architects, and product stakeholders to design scalable, resilient, and high-performance systems. This is a high-impact individual contributor role—not a people management position—ideal for someone who thrives on solving complex technical challenges and mentoring through influence.

Your key responsibilities

• Drive the technical vision and architecture for core components of our cash account and data platforms
• Design and prototype scalable, distributed systems using modern technologies and patterns
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure technical alignment and delivery excellence
• Provide deep technical guidance and mentorship to engineers across multiple teams
• Contribute to codebases, technical reviews, and architecture forums

Your skills and experiences

• Proven expertise in backend engineering with Java/Kotlin and the broader JVM ecosystem
• Strong understanding of modern architecture patterns: microservices, event-driven systems, APIs, cloud-native design
• Experience with large-scale data platforms or distributed systems is a plus
• Ability to dive deep into code and architecture while maintaining a strategic, system-wide perspective
• Familiarity with UI frameworks and full-stack development is a bonus
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to influence without authority
• Passion for clean code, technical excellence, and continuous learning

What we offer

• Emotionally and mentally balanced: A positive mind helps us master the challenges of everyday life - both professionally and privately. We offer consultation in difficult life situations as well as mental health awareness trainings.
• Physically thriving: We support you in staying physically fit through health check-ups, vaccination drives as well as advice on healthy living and nutrition.
• Socially connected: Networking opens up new perspectives, helps us thrive professionally and personally as well as strengthens self-confidence and well-being. You can benefit from PME family service, FitnessCenter Job, flexible working options (e.g. part-time, hybrid, job tandem) and a culture of diversity, equity and inclusion.
• Financially secure: Pension plans, banking services, company bicycle or "Deutschlandticket" and other offerings for long-term financial security.
