Software Engineer, Java (Asset Systems)
Your mission
As a software engineer within Bitpanda’s Trade Hub, you will help design, build and scale the core systems that power our trading ecosystem end-to-end — from pricing, execution and portfolio lifecycle, to asset infrastructure, hedging and prime services. You will work on highly available, low-latency and financially critical back-end services that handle order flow, market data, risk, balances, assets and exposure management at scale. Your work will directly impact how customers trade, how liquidity is managed, how portfolios are valued, and how Bitpanda operates safely and efficiently across markets. You will collaborate closely with product, quantitative, risk and trading stakeholders to deliver resilient, high-performance systems that form the backbone of our trading platform.
As a bonus, you get work on new age tech projects, tackling architectural and conceptual challenges, integrating with 3rd party vendors and interface and collaborate with many other Engineers and teams within Bitpanda.

Drive innovation by researching and adopting the latest trends and technologies in backend development, ensuring our applications remain cutting-edge.
Who you are
4+ years of knowledge and experience of software development using modern frameworks such as Micronaut/Spring Boot, with Java as your main programming language
Understanding of relational and non-relational databases (bonus points for experience with Postgres and MongoDB)
Experience creating and maintaining publicly available REST APIs with a keen understanding of performance optimisation and scalability
Practical knowledge in using message-oriented middleware as we’re working with event driven microservices (ideally Apache Kafka or ZeroMQ)
Understanding of CI/CD: familiarity with AWS and Kubernetes is ideal but any public cloud experience is fine
