## Job description

### ABOUT THE ROLE

Join an early-stage fintech team building an AI-enabled platform for traders. You will develop reliable, high-throughput backend systems that stream market data to users and connect with trading venues.

### WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Build and maintain real-time streaming services that support many concurrent users and connections.

- Design and improve high-throughput, event-driven backend systems.

- Develop distributed systems for reliable market data and trading platform infrastructure.

### WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- At least 8 years of backend engineering experience and strong software fundamentals.

- Proficiency in Java or Kotlin, with experience building real-time streaming backends and high-throughput event-driven systems.

- Experience with distributed systems.

- Python experience is useful; TypeScript and React experience is relevant for full-stack work.

- Experience with financial markets, trading, crypto, stocks, fintech, market data, or trading venues is a plus.

- Experience in a venture-backed fintech startup environment is also useful.

### COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

Competitive salary and meaningful equity. Salary range and visa sponsorship details were not provided.

### LOCATION

Remote, with the primary location listed as Munich, Bavaria, Germany. Other listed geographies include Berlin, Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, and remote in Latin America.

**Live in Clera’s hiring system.** Read from the company's own applicant tracking system, not reposted from a job board — so it's a real, open requisition rather than an ad that outlived the role.

We remove it as soon as it disappears at source.
