Your Next Career Milestone
Join Trade Republic, Europe's largest savings platform, trusted by over 10 million customers managing more than €150B in assets across 18 countries. We are on a mission to revolutionize financial accessibility, empowering everyone to build wealth through user-friendly, secure, and free financial systems.
As a Cloud Platform Tech Lead, you will collaborate with a talented team and cutting-edge technology to create a brighter financial future for millions.
About Platform Engineering
Our Platform Engineering team is essential to Trade Republic's engineering success. With a focus on building scalable platforms that cater to a Europe-scale bank, we support our internal engineers by creating in-house control planes for managing the bank's infrastructure. Our ~50-person team is dedicated to empowering product engineers to operate swiftly and independently.
We design self-service platforms, golden paths, and curated tools that allow over 400 engineers to deploy with confidence. Our work, which includes Kubernetes fleet management, CI/CD pipelines, and a proprietary Developer Hub built on Backstage, is foundational to every trade, savings plan, and card payment made on our platform.
Cloud Platform Transformation
Our cloud infrastructure spans multiple AWS accounts across development, staging, and production environments, supporting regulated financial services in 18 European markets. Currently managed through Terraform, we are strategically transitioning to programmable control planes utilizing Go-based systems and tools like Pulumi and Crossplane. This shift aims to enhance cloud management not just in speed but in quality, ensuring compliance, security, and cost-effectiveness are integrated into our systems by default.
Our established patterns, such as Kubernetes fleet management with Crossplane, Sveltos, FluxCD, and ClusterAPI, alongside our Temporal-backed control planes for database and messaging management with Pulumi, will now extend to AWS account management, IAM governance, organizational structure, and networking.
