Rust Backend Engineer (m/f/x)

Permanent employee, Full-time · Dock Financial GmbH

In short

Here’s the chance for a talented and hungry mind with a love for Rust and a solid knowledge of distributed transactional systems and REST APIs to help us build no less than the future of banking.

Sounds interesting? Keep on reading!

Let’s face it, with all the technical and regulatory complexities and legacy technology global banking simply is broken.

Aiming to build the most comprehensive and flexible Banking-as-a-Service platform out there, we are on a mission to fix this and remove the barriers – and provide our partners with a seamless experience when prototyping and building financial products and services in just a few weeks, or even days, instead of months to years. Launching a banking product, embedding and scaling financial use-cases will never have been easier and faster, and that’s what we are fully committed to.

So, what’s that… are we a startup and starting from scratch? Yes. And no. We are a well funded licensed e-money institution and principal member of Mastercard with offices in Luxembourg and Munich with a staff of ca. 140, and rapidly growing. We have been running a successful consumer card product for the last 6 years and built a significant B2B portfolio around corporate spend management, payouts and emergency payments.

Following our new mission we have brought together some of the brightest minds in fintech and now are building a new modular ecosystem upon the running business and experience we have. Quite a luxurious situation for a startup we’d say – and one that absolutely excites us!

Capturing the momentum, we also strive to become even more customer-centric, an environmentally friendly company and a must go-to-employer. Our international team is growing rapidly, all united in a dynamic culture with a common purpose: to deliver maximum value and the best experience to our customers.

If you are still reading this, have significant experience in designing and building highly scalable SaaS systems with efficient APIs developers will love, we would like to talk.
You have already built financial systems, know that PSD2 is no gaming console and maybe dealt with card schemes in your past? Even better.

Your job? You will…

build microservices using Rust;
pay attention to the particular needs of a regulated environment;
implement security features and auditing capabilities;
debug distributed services;
create extensive automated tests;
support Cloud Engineers with setting up build pipelines and integrating the service;
support Q/A Engineers with integrating tests and building new ones;
write documentation that developers will love;
always rethink current approaches and continuously improve existing ones.

As a result, together we will make a difference to all our customers and build the future of banking and embedded finance.

What skills and traits you need?

a degree in computer science or related field and two years experience in building distributed systems - ideally in a regulated environment like the finance industry;
alternatively 4+ years of experience in building distributed transactional systems;
2+ years programming experience in Rust;
experience with working on Linux;
experience with testing and debugging distributed systems;
experience with build pipelines and extensive testing setups;
experience in IT security - at least beneficial;
experience with working in an agile environment (SCRUM, SAFe).

Your main focus when developing software is reliability, testability, and security. You know how to write code that’s easily readable and understand how important test coverage and good documentation are. Initiative, attention to detail on all levels and the willingness to learn new approaches and technologies make you a valuable member of the team. By approaching team members and stakeholders with new ideas and suggestions for improvements, you always strive to refine the status quo.

What can you expect from us?

A workplace with real impact and growth possibilities where we will set big goals together – and exceed them;
A competitive compensation and benefits package in a compelling and rewarding work environment with 30 days of paid vacation;
Talented, committed and supportive teams of diverse experts, all united in a dynamic culture with a common purpose: to deliver maximum value and the best experience to our customers;
The option to work remotely regularly in accordance with company policies;
An office in the heart of Munich, which we believe to be one of the world's greatest cities!
