Overview

At Midas, we are working on real-life engineering challenges to transform the world of finance. We’ve transformed investing in Turkey by delivering a seamless experience for everyday investors. Today, 3.5 million users invest with Midas. Backed by an $80M Series B, the largest fintech investment ever in Turkey, we are scaling faster than ever. At Midas, data isn’t just an input — it’s a foundation. We build products on top of it, power decisions with it, and enable every team to move faster through it. That’s why our internal data platform must be fast, reliable, secure, and self-serve by default. As a Data Engineer, you’ll take full ownership of that platform — from ingestion to governance, from batch to real-time — and evolve it into a product that internal teams trust, build on, and rely on daily. Your work will directly accelerate product development, unlock smarter decisions, and raise the baseline for data quality across the company. This role owns the platform that powers analytics, ensuring our teams can build, iterate, and scale faster and more securely.
