Software Engineer, Java (Trade Services)

Your mission

As a Software Engineer in Trade Services, your mission is to build and scale the engine room of Bitpanda. You will own the core execution of every single trade, forging the high-throughput, financially critical backbone of our ecosystem.

What you’ll do

Building the core engine requires designing and developing scalable, resilient, message-driven services using Java to handle offers, trade requests, and money movement.

Ensuring quality involves writing clean and future-proof code with 80%+ unit test coverage, conducting thorough end-to-end and integration testing before deploying into an event-driven microservices architecture.

Optimizing execution flows for core trading modules—such as fee calculation, order execution, ledger writing, and wallet synchronization—guarantees total reliability, maintainability, performance, and scalability.

Driving innovation means researching and adopting the latest trends and technologies in backend development to ensure our core trading and ledger applications remain cutting-edge.

Who you are

Knowledge and experience of software development using modern frameworks such as 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

Deep knowledge and hands on track record 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
