About the opportunity
You will work in the Grow & Engage domain—the heart of the N26 experience. From initial signup to premium memberships and daily engagement, you’ll work in teams delivering innovative features that serve our customers.
We are seeking a Senior Backend Engineer with product-centric mindset to join our mission-driven team. As a vital contributor throughout the entire feature lifecycle, you will partner closely with Product Owner, Tech Lead and Designers to translate user needs into the seamless, scalable backend systems that empower our users from day one.
This is a hybrid role based in Berlin or Barcelona. We value in-person collaboration and expect our employees to spend at least 8 days per month in the office.
In this role, you will:
•
Do discovery, design, develop, test, deploy and maintain software in a thriving environment.
•
Manage individual project priorities and deliverables whilst working in a team who enjoy knowledge sharing sessions.
•
Stay up to date with the latest trends in technology.
•
Propose new product ideas, build tech tools or try out new architectural approaches during our Get Stuff Done Days (GSDD).
What you need to be successful:
•
Experience in developing software using a JVM language and Spring Boot in large-scale production systems (note: experience of Kotlin would be a plus).
•
In-depth understanding of microservice architecture.
•
Knowledge of both relational (preferably Postgres) and non-relational databases.
•
Appreciation of working in a modern cloud architecture, preferably with AWS.
•
You know your way around using AI tools (e.g., Claude, GitHub Copilot) to accelerate development without sacrificing quality.
Traits:
•
Product-centric mindset, first you ask "why", then "what" and only then think of "how".
•
Strong sense of ownership: you take initiatives from early-stage ideas all the way to customer-facing results. Negotiating delivery scope and providing realistic timelines are just as important to you as writing code.
•
Strong call to action and for getting things done
•
Ongoing appreciation and consideration for security
•
Motivation to write code which is well-tested and well-documented
•
Give and receive 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 that range from a competitive personal development budget, work from home budget, discounts to fitness & wellness memberships, language apps and public transportation.
•
As an N26 employee you will have access to a Premium subscription on your personal N26 bank account. As well as subscriptions for friends and family members.
•
Additional day of annual leave for each year of service.
•
A high degree of autonomy and access to cutting edge technologies - all while working with a friendly team of peers of diverse nationalities, experiences, and backgrounds.
•
A relocation package with visa support for those who need it
