Software Engineer

Description Do you think like an engineer first, and a language specialist second? We are looking for engineers who want to build the next generation of cloud-native financial technology. Our platforms run on .NET and Java, but we are not looking for C# or Java developers (or Python developers, or developers of any other language). We are looking for  software engineers , because what matters is that you can  reason  about distributed systems, become productive quickly in an unfamiliar codebase — including one written in a language you have not used before — and use  AI as a real engineering partner  rather than an autocomplete tool. We build a  cloud-native core banking platform  that safeguards billions of euros of real customers' money. The bar for  reliability ,  scalability , and  security  is exceptionally high, and we are continuously reinventing how we build software. If you want to help shape the future of engineering rather than watch it happen, we'd love to talk to you. Briefing Ohpen launched the world's  first cloud-native core banking platform . We don't just use technology — we build it, and we operate it in production for regulated financial institutions. You'll join a  cross-functional team  with end-to-end ownership of a domain:  design ,  build ,  deploy ,  operate , support. Not a ticket queue.  Deployment  is where the value gets delivered, so it isn't a step you hand to another team once the code is written. You'll be accountable for how your services behave in production, not only for how they look at code review. You'd be working on a platform that has been live and evolving for more than a decade. A lot of the work is understanding, extending, and safely replacing systems that carry real business logic for real clients. The interesting problem here is  not writing code  quickly — that is now cheap. It is knowing what to change, what it will break, and how to prove it worked. AI is a first-class tool in that work (expected, not just tolerated). You'll use it to build context on unfamiliar code, explore designs, generate and review implementations, and remove routine work. You stay in the  driver's seat : you decide what to accept, what to challenge, and when the model is confidently wrong. About You You're a generalist by instinct. You've worked in more than one language or platform, and you'd learn another if the job needed it.  You've run what you built.  Distributed ,  event-driven backend systems in production — headless, API-first, where the numbers had to be right and downtime had real consequences. You think in systems. Where the coupling sits, what a change is likely to break, how the pieces talk to each other. You will design clear boundaries around complex banking domains, keep  API  changes backward compatible, and choose simple designs by default. For workflows where reads, writes, and audit requirements differ, you’ll use separate models when the trade-off earns its cost.  You're comfortable in code you…
