Build the systems that power Scalable Capital's automated wealth management and support our pan-European growth.

Comprehensive automated testing and continuous delivery will help you deploy changes safely and frequently. You will also develop taxation logic that is essential to Scalable's expansion across Europe and contribute to the development of the Altersvorsorgedepot (AVD), bringing your engineering expertise to retirement investing. A working knowledge of the fundamentals of capital taxation will help you translate tax requirements into accurate, maintainable software.
