About The Opportunity

Hi, I'm Oussama Salimi, the Engineering Manager at N26, and I am looking for a Backend Engineer to join the Investments team here at N26.

Why is this role exciting

• Democratize wealth: You will build a secure, real‑time trading platform powering everything from Crypto and Stocks to ETFs and Managed Funds.
• High‑stakes engineering: Operate at the thrilling intersection of high‑speed trading and strict financial regulation where markets move fast.
• True autonomy: You are an active partner in shaping the product, not just a ticket taker. We trust you to be the owner of the delivery.
• Get Stuff Done Days (GSDD): Every six weeks, take two days of dedicated innovation time to explore new tech stacks, fix nagging bugs, or prototype outside the roadmap.

In This Role, You Will

• Write high-quality, performant code (primarily Kotlin) and navigate the codebase fluently.
• Handle deployment, bug fixing, and incident handling with a high level of independence, taking features from concept to production.
• Act as a sparring partner for Product Managers during Product Discovery, ensuring technical decisions support the user experience.
• Question the status quo by asking "why are we building this?" and "is there a simpler way?"
• Identify knowledge gaps and technical problems, taking active ownership to address them without waiting to be told.
• Share your learnings from GSDD projects with the wider team, turning individual curiosity into collective knowledge.
• There will be a lot more too, this is a role that will require a lot of flexibility.

What you need to be successful

• Proven experience as a Software Engineer taking features from concept to production with minimal supervision.
• A track record of thriving in dynamic environments where requirements evolve rapidly.
• A growth mindset: you treat feedback as a tool for engineering excellence and have a specific plan for your own learning.
• An "evidence over opinion" approach: you couple every critique of a problem with a practical proposal for its solution.

Skills

• Strong proficiency in backend development, with Kotlin being our default for new services.
• Experience working with Distributed Microservices and Event-Driven Architecture (Kafka).
• Good understanding of cloud infrastructure and containerization (AWS, Kubernetes, and Docker).
• Experience with observability and monitoring tools (Datadog, ELK/OpenSearch).
• Resilience and proactive communication: you know how to navigate unresponsive stakeholders and unblock yourself.
• Constructive dissatisfaction: you are a "System Improver" who proactively fixes broken processes.

Interview Process

• Initial Recruiter Screen
• Codility Test
• Pair Coding
• Systems Design
• Behavioural Interview

Benefits

• Accelerate your career growth by joining one of Europe’s most talked about disruptors.
• Employee benefits that range from a competitive personal development budget, work from home budget, discounts to fitness & wellness memberships, language apps and public transportation.
