Senior Software Engineer, Java (Trade Hub)

Vienna, Vienna, Austria

Who we are

We simplify wealth creation. Founded in 2014 in Vienna, Austria by Eric Demuth, Paul Klanschek and Christian Trummer, Bitpanda helps people build their financial freedom. The platform enables users to invest in cryptocurrencies, crypto indices, stocks, precious metals and commodities. Headquartered in Austria and operating across Europe, Bitpanda serves more than 7 million customers.

Your mission

As a senior engineer within Bitpanda’s Trade Hub, you will help design, build and scale the core systems that power the 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.

What you’ll do

• Design and develop scalable, resilient, message-driven services using Java
• Write clean and future proof code with 80% unit test coverage, end to end and integration testing before deploying into event driven microservices architecture
• Optimise payment modules/services to ensure reliability, maintainability, performance and scalability
• Drive innovation by researching and adopting the latest trends and technologies in backend development, ensuring applications remain cutting-edge
• Be a technical mentor for junior developers, providing guidance and support to help them grow and excel in their careers

Who you are

• Advanced knowledge and experience of software development using modern frameworks such as Spring Boot, with Java as your main programming language
• Good 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 Bitpanda works with event driven microservices, ideally Apache Kafka or ZeroMQ
• Good understanding of CI/CD; familiarity with AWS and Kubernetes is ideal but any public cloud experience is fine

Bitpanda offers a comprehensive relocation package to support candidates who are moving to join the team.

What’s in it for you

• Flexibility to work where you thrive with a hybrid working model and an additional 25 days per year to work from a city or country of your choice
• Competitive total compensation package aligned with Bitpanda’s pay-for-impact policy, including participation in the stock option plan
• Confidential coaching, counselling, and mental health resources through OpenUP
• Extra time off with 3 additional days off in 2026
• Unlimited access to Udemy’s library of online courses
• Discounts, rewards, and perks from partners worldwide across lifestyle, wellness, tech, and travel
• Additional 8 weeks of gender-neutral new parent leave
• Free onsite dining in Vienna, Bucharest, Barcelona, and Berlin
• Recognition and rewards for tenure at Bitpanda
• Access to Bitpanda-branded merchandise and gear
• Company events, from the Winter Party in Vienna to gatherings worldwide

Bitpanda is committed to fostering a fair and equal environment based on trust and mutual respect.
