What the job involves
- We are looking for a Senior Platform Engineer to join our BUX team based in Amsterdam
- Our engineering team sits at the heart of the company
- We have a well-rounded team that cares about building great products that matter
- You'll be part of a modern fintech company where you can try things, break things, fix them, and learn fast
- Your work is visible, your input matters, and you help shape both the product and how we build it
- We stay close to what's happening in the world of investing and fintech, and we share what we learn
- It's a place where you can stretch your skills, contribute to something real, and grow alongside people who take their craft seriously and enjoy building things together
- In this role, you'll go beyond writing excellent code; you'll shape our platform's technical direction, evolve our internal CQRS Event Sourcing Framework, and help roll out AI coding practices across the engineering organisation. To do this, you will have the help of other very experienced colleagues, the freedom to brainstorm and suggest new ideas, and the time to execute those ideas in a high-quality way
- As a Senior Platform Engineer, your job is to create the foundation for the product teams. This could mean:
- Work on (the next version of) our internal CQRS Event Sourcing Framework, focusing on developer friendliness (ease of use/set-up/get started), performance (startup time, memory usage), scalability, documentation and learning materials
- Drive the adoption and rollout of tooling around AI-assisted coding practices across the Engineering organisation, by documenting, standardising, and actively advocating for the use of a selected set of tools
- Keep track of the Java / Kotlin / Spring Boot ecosystem innovations and actively promote within the BUX engineering team
- Own (evolve, actively maintain and support) several Java production applications, such as our CQRS Event Sourcing Framework runtime services
- Work closely with the core DevOps team on infrastructure alignment so our backend platform runs smoothly and securely
- Focus on application/code-level security and implement best practices
- Be available (in a proactive manner) to answer framework-related questions from other engineering team members, and help out with initial service creation/ideation
Our take
Recent innovations in banking and apps have opened the door for the average consumer to engage in a new set of financial services. BUX facilitates this as Europe’s fastest growing neobroker.
While the application has not reached the omnipresent level of market leaders like Robinhood, BUX is the first and only business to have built a full-stack system of its own, giving it the ability to adapt and scale in a way competitors cannot. Keeping up with the evolving investment space, the company launched BUX Crypto in 2022, granting its thousands of users access to trading cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.
Also in 2022, the company purchased the retail arm of neobroker Ninety Nine, with all its existing retail customers moving over to BUX. This has significantly bolstered its Spanish marketshare, as it moves ahead with a strategy to double down on its flagship application and help clients build long-term wealth moving into the future. The sale of BUX's Cyprus arm to Coinbase in 2024 will allow BUX to hone in on market presence and product capabilities.
