Senior Software Engineer

Once here you will:

As a Senior Engineer you’re part of a high performing team, building technologies that make banking more human. You’ll be working across the technology stack implementing services and integrations to bring our banking product to life in the U.S. Our tight-knit team includes product owners, designers, front-end engineers with whom you’ll be collaborating with on a daily basis. You’ll be encouraged to architect new features and see them through to completion in live environments. Leverage your extensive experience in previous projects to guard code quality through reviewing of pull requests, and take opportunities to mentor juniors. And we hope you won’t hesitate to share your knowledge with your colleagues through Lightning Talks.

Technologies:

N26 is powered by a microservice architecture running mainly on the JVM with Spring Boot and Java/Kotlin. We have a strong CI/CD operational culture on the foundation of container orchestration, service discovery and cloud native technologies. PostgreSQL and redis are our main data stores (we’re big fans), but we also have message brokers, data streaming, and reactive workflows as backends. As we transform from monolithic applications into more scalable and resilient distributed systems, there is an opportunity for impactful fundamental change. For more information please check out our stackshare page.

What you will bring along:

Significant ownership of applications in large-scale production systems. Experience with imperative and declarative programming paradigms. Sound knowledge in relational database systems (preferrably PostgreSQL) and understanding the semantics and tradeoffs between different database architectures, e.g. relational vs. NoSQL. Be aware of other models of inter-service communication besides REST (queues and event streams). You are passionate about technology and want to share this passion with your team. You keep up with the latest trends and are not afraid to propose some of these new things during our GSDD and share your findings afterwards with the rest of the engineering organisation. A relentless drive for clean and well-tested code which shows during code reviews. You use these reviews to teach best practices in developing large-scale distributed systems.

What we offer:

• Working with diverse, highly engaged peers
• Opportunities to work abroad in Berlin and Barcelona as part of an international team
• Freedom to prototype and autonomy to make decisions on technology choices
• Getting things done attitude
• Flat hierarchy and open communication
• Self-improvement budget to spend on attending conferences, taking courses, and purchasing books
• Interesting technical problems to solve as we scale
• Find a career path. Not just a job.
