Job description

IntellectEU is an international technology company focused on digital finance and emerging technologies. At IntellectEU we are on a mission to become the top-of-mind fintech company. We give rising talent and industry veterans the space to explore, launch ideas, and collaborate closely with our clients. Over the past two decades, we have earned our expertise in financial technology, executing on hundreds of complex integrations and co-creating new digital asset platforms alongside our clients. We are looking for a skilled and motivated Software Engineer with Scala expertise to join our team.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement features end-to-end — from specification through testing, review, and deployment.
• Contribute to cutting-edge distributed ledger technology that will power one of the world's most consequential market infrastructures.
• Uphold high standards for code quality, test coverage, and documentation in a codebase where correctness is critical.
• Collaborate within a globally distributed Agile team, coordinating across time zones with asynchronous-first communication.

Requirements Must Have

• 4+ years of professional Scala experience, with a strong command of functional programming patterns (typeclasses, effect systems, immutability, referential transparency).
• Strong grasp of the Scala type system, including implicits/givens, type inference, and leveraging the compiler for correctness guarantees.
• Solid understanding of distributed systems: consensus mechanisms, fault tolerance, eventual consistency, and partition handling.
• Participate in architecture discussions and technical decision-making, bringing well-reasoned opinions grounded in distributed systems experience.
• Comfortable working with gRPC, Protobuf, and service-oriented architectures.

Nice to Have

• Experience with Canton and/or Daml.

Soft skills

• Strong communication skills for interacting with both technical and non-technical audiences.
• A high degree of autonomy, accountability, and ownership for delivering outcomes.
• Ability to provide constructive feedback during technical discussions.

We guarantee

• International experience in a stable company: the company has offices in Antwerp, Leuven, Lisbon, Krakow, Kyiv, New York and operates on the market for over 15 years.
• Passionate team in an innovative casual, positive, and open work environment ready to meet your new ideas.
• Great opportunities for personal and professional development as well as the chance to change the way the business works in the financial world.
• Work where you're most productive: remote, in-office, or hybrid options available.
