About the opportunity

You will work in the Everyday Banking domain for the Payments team. This is where all payment and card transactions are being managed and processed by modern and high-volume systems that power the best customer experience possible. These teams make banking easy, reliable, seamless, and secure — everyday for every customer.

This is a Hybrid role from our Berlin or Barcelona office. 

In this role, you will:

  • Collaborate closely with your Tech Lead on architecting new features and seeing them through to completion.
  • Design, develop, test, deploy, and maintain software in a thriving environment.
  • Mentor junior members in the team by relentlessly guarding code quality through pull requests and helping them when they have questions.
  • Stay up to date with the latest trends in technology and propose findings during our Get Stuff Done Days (GSDD).
  • Work within your cross-functional team to uphold the highest technical standards right across the product.

 

What you need to be successful:

  • Experience in developing software using a JVM language and Spring Boot in large-scale production systems (experience with Kotlin is a plus).
  • Sound understanding of microservice architecture.
  • Knowledge of both relational and non-relational databases, preferably Postgres.
  • Appreciation of modern cloud architecture, preferably with AWS.

Traits:

  • Actively help yourself (and others) be successful.
  • Continuously learn and challenge the status quo.
  • Think globally, act locally.
  • Strong bias for action and giving/receiving open, direct, and timely feedback.

 

What’s in it for you:

  • Accelerate your career growth by joining one of Europe’s most talked-about disruptors.
  • Employee benefits ranging from a competitive personal development budget, work-from-home budget, and discounts to fitness/wellness memberships.
  • N26 Premium subscription for your personal bank account, plus subscriptions for friends and family.
  • Additional annual leave: One extra day for each year of service.
  • A high degree of autonomy and access to cutting-edge technologies while working with a diverse, international team.
  • Relocation package with visa support for those who need it.
