But we’re striving for more. We have a bold mission to empower everyone to build wealth with easy, safe, and free access to financial systems. You will have the opportunity to grow your career by collaborating with a team of outstanding talents and state of the art technology to build a lasting, positive future for millions.   ABOUT PLATFORM ENGINEERING Platform Engineering is the backbone of Trade Republic's engineering velocity. Our mission is to build scalable platforms for a Europe-scale bank — serving internal engineers, and building in-house control planes for managing the bank's infrastructure. We’re a ~50-person Platform team focused on one thing: enabling product engineers to move fast and operate autonomously by default. We build self-service platforms, golden paths, and opinionated tooling so that over 400 engineers can ship with confidence. From Kubernetes fleet management and CI/CD to an internal Developer Hub built on Backstage, our work underpins every trade, savings plan, and card payment that flows through the platform.   THE CLOUD PLATFORM JOURNEY Trade Republic's cloud infrastructure spans multiple AWS accounts across development, staging, and production environments — supporting regulated financial services across 18 European markets. Today, much of this is managed through Terraform. We're making a deliberate strategic shift: moving from declarative infrastructure-as-code toward programmable control planes — Go-based systems that use tools like Pulumi and Crossplane to continuously govern, reconcile, and automate our cloud foundations. This isn't about running Terraform plans faster. It's about building software that manages a bank's cloud infrastructure as a product — encoding compliance, security, and cost best practices into systems that enforce the right thing by default. The patterns are already proven: our Kubernetes fleet management uses Crossplane with Sveltos, FluxCD, and ClusterAPI, and our Temporal-backed control planes already manage database and messaging operations using Pulumi. Now we need to bring this same approach to AWS account management, IAM governance, organisational structure, and networking — IAM policies, account structures, network topologies, and organisational guardrails, all governed through code that reasons about intent, detects drift, and converges autonomously. We've gone from manually provisioned infrastructure to a platform where compute autoscales across clusters, fleet management orchestrates add-on lifecycles across environments, and infrastructure provisioning runs as self-healing workflows with cross-account automation — no human in the loop. The next frontier is bringing this same level of automation to the cloud foundations layer itself. We also own Trade Republic's partner connectivity — the network fabric that connects us to exchanges, payment providers, and banking partners through site-to-site VPNs, AWS Direct Connect, VPC peering, transit gateways, and more. These connections are mission-critical and must be production-ready ahead of every company release. WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING Build cloud control planes: Design and implement Go-based systems that programmatically manage AWS infrastructure — accounts, IAM, networking, and organisational policies — replacing manual Terraform workflows with self-healing, intent-driven automation. Encode governance as software: Turn compliance, security, and cost requirements into programmable guardrails that are enforced continuously, not checked after the fact — meeting the same bar of
