Role
Who you are
- A University degree in a relevant field of study (e.g. computer science, engineering, natural sciences, ...) or a comparable qualification
- Hands-on experience in android development, including initial experience in a professional setting (such as internships or working student roles), in addition to academic or personal projects
- Basic familiarity with parts of our tech stack, such as Kotlin, Coroutines, RxJava, Compose, Dagger, or GraphQL APIs, with motivation to deepen this knowledge
- Solid analytical thinking and a willingness to understand both technical and product-related challenges
- Interest in building great user experiences and learning how to implement custom UI components
- Good communication skills and an openness to ask questions, give feedback, and learn from others
- Fluent in English, both in writing and reading, German is a plus
- Ability and motivation to quickly pick up new concepts and adapt to changes in the Android framework
- Curiosity about other technologies and platforms beyond Android
- Prior Fintech experience is not required, but interest in investing or digital finance is a plus. Ideally, you are curious about or already a customer of Scalable Capital
What the job involves
- Work alongside a highly motivated team of software engineers and academics to help shape products that aim to simplify complex topics like investing for our users
- Contribute to the design and implementation of user interfaces and application features on Android
- Learn to take ownership of parts of the app and gradually grow responsibility across the full development lifecycle
- Collaborate closely with engineers, product managers, and designers to deliver high-quality user experiences
- Experiment with Android technologies and best practices, supported by experienced team members
- Write clean, testable, and well-documented code, with a strong focus on quality and security
- Continuously improve your technical skills and stay curious about developments in the Android ecosystem
Our take
Interest around investing in digital assets is increasing steadily due to innovations in fintech smartphone applications and the popularity of blockchain finance such as cryptocurrency. While stocks and cryptocurrency have a lot to do with this increase in popularity, it has also led to new investors learning about ETFs and index funds, meaning more people are looking for easier ways to invest.
Scalable Capital provides a free smartphone application for the investing and trading of stocks, cryptocurrencies, commission-free ETFs, and index funds, with subscription fees providing commission-free stock trading. The application also features a machine learning-driven robotrading service called Smart Predict to aid in improving users' limit and stop orders.
Whilst several other European investment platforms focus on commission-free trading, Scalable Capital has taken a fresh perspective by focusing on providing commission-free ETF investment. By doing this, the company encourages smart long-term ETF investments over riskier day-trading, tapping into a more mature market than applications focused on stocks. With substantial growth reported in 2025, Scalable Capital is carving out its market share.
