Backend Engineer

Tradevest is a BaFin-licensed digital financial infrastructure provider headquartered in Munich, Germany. We deliver banking-as-a-service solutions that enable trading, custody, and management of traditional securities, cryptocurrencies, and tokenized assets — all through a single integrated platform. Our clients include banks, wealth managers, neobrokers, and fintechs across Europe.

Our IT development hub is based in Warsaw, where our engineering team meets in the office twice a week. We maintain a hybrid work model because we genuinely believe that in-person collaboration helps us build better products and stronger teams. We're growing rapidly, building serious financial platforms while keeping a relaxed, professional atmosphere where engineers have real ownership over what they build.

What you'll do
- Develop and maintain backend services powering regulated financial products
- Work across multiple projects — from building new and maintaining existing Python-based solutions to building new services in Go or Rust
- Design and implement cloud infrastructure using Terraform (AWS, Azure, On-Prem)
- Build integrations with external financial services, tackling real-world challenges around asynchronous processing and data synchronization
- Take ownership of delivering high-quality, production-ready systems in a highly regulated fintech environment
- Leverage AI-assisted development tools thoughtfully — we embrace them but never at the cost of security or quality

What we're looking for
- Solid experience with Python
- Openness and willingness to work with Go and/or Rust — you don't need to be an expert, but curiosity matters
- Experience with cloud platforms and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform)
- Understanding of distributed systems concepts — event-driven architectures, message queues, eventual consistency
- Ability to work autonomously while collaborating with a team
- Comfort operating in a regulated environment where quality and reliability are non-negotiable

Nice to have
- Prior experience in fintech, banking, or other regulated industries
- Familiarity with Go or Rust in production environments
- Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and containerized deployments

What we offer
- Hybrid work model — 2 days/week in our Warsaw office, rest remote
- 20 days PTO on B2B
- Real impact on financial products used by institutional clients across Europe
- Exposure to a modern, polyglot tech stack and cloud-native architecture
- A team that values engineering growth — we invest in building competences, not just shipping features
- Relaxed yet professional culture in a rapidly growing company
- Flex-time arrangements
