About Us

At Upvest, we're on a mission to make investing as easy as spending money. We are building the first European Investment API that empowers businesses to offer seamless investment experiences to their users.

Upvest is a well‑funded, fast‑growing FinTech with a diverse team of over 250 people from 70+ nationalities working across our hubs in Berlin, Tallinn, and London. Our latest €100m fundraising round (Series C) was led by Hedosophia and Sapphire Venture, with continued support from existing investors including Bessemer Venture Partners, BlackRock, Earlybird, HV Capital, Motive Ventures, and Notion Capital.

How we Upvest in you*

• Work with experts: Solving complex problems and fixing the European securities financial infrastructure that empowers more people to be able to invest by using cutting‑edge technologies.
• Flexible work environment: Work from any of our hubs in Berlin, London or Tallinn hybrid or remotely across Europe, depending on the role.
• Professional development: Access an annual budget of €1,500 for personal and professional training to master your craft.
• Wellbeing: Recharge with 30 days of annual leave and maintain a healthy lifestyle with sports benefits. Access confidential professional coaching and enjoy the flexibility to work remotely abroad for up to 183 days a year.
• Compensation and equity: We believe that all Upvengers contribute to our success and deserve a competitive, above-market salary and a participation in our employee equity program.
• Team celebrations: Participate in company‑wide events, such as UpFest, dinners, offsites and our Holiday party, to connect with colleagues and celebrate our achievements.

The role will give you the opportunity to:

• 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.

It is a plus if you have:

• 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).

You’re likely to be successful in this role if:

• You’re excited about fintech and building the financial infrastructure of tomorrow.
• You work with the customer in mind.
• You are a true team player and feel energised in diverse teams.
• You’re hungry to learn and eager to grow quickly.

Our Values

• Make it easy for others. Team over Egos.
• Own the outcome. Progress over Perfection.
• Rise to the challenge. Growth over Comfort.
• Tell the story. Clarity over Ambiguity.

Our Commitment to Belonging

At Upvest we’re dedicated to building an inclusive environment where every Upvenger feels a true sense of belonging and is empowered to do their best work. We are a proud equal opportunity employer. We welcome applications from all backgrounds, regardless of race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age or disability. Your unique path is what we value.
