The tech

Our services run on a modern stack based on Python, Kotlin and TypeScript with React. We run our services in a cloud environment using Docker, Kubernetes and associated technologies.

The impact

OSTTRA has the largest financial institutions in the world as clients, and our optimization businesses the largest banks in the world specifically. Our optimization services deliver significant impacts to clients portfolio compositions and operational costs, and when we run our services, global metrics of systemic risks in the financial markets move to a high degree.

We’ve worked with many students and hired several who joined originally during their studies - so this could be the place you activate your career.

Role Overview

As a Software Engineer, you will contribute to the success of our projects with a focus on talent, passion, and grit. While no prior work experience is required, we are looking for candidates who hold a Master's degree in Computer Science. We foster an innovative culture that places a strong emphasis on exploration and prototyping. Here, failing fast is seen as a virtue, propelling technological and product improvements.

• Collaborate with cross‑functional, autonomous teams for rapid and phased delivery
