THE BEST WORK OF YOUR CAREER

Trade Republic is the largest savings platform in Europe - we operate in 17 countries, serving +4 million customers who trusted us with over 35B in assets. 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 reliability and self-service that our engineers already expect from the rest of the platform.
• Own partner connectivity: Build and operate the network infrastructure that connects Trade Republic to exchanges, payment providers, and banking partners — ensuring these connections are resilient, secure, and ready ahead of every release.
• Own the platform end to end: Participate in the on-call rotation for cloud infrastructure, ensuring full end-to-end ownership of the systems you build and operate.
• Own the direction and drive it forward: Define the long-term cloud platform strategy, drive cross-team initiatives from kickoff to delivery, and align cloud infrastructure decisions with broader engineering, compliance, and cost goals.

WHAT YOU'LL SHIP IN THE FIRST 6 MONTHS

• Build control planes that integrate into Kubernetes fleet management — solving cross-account and cross-region connectivity, role management at scale, and levelling up our organisational structure.
• Continue refining cloud governance standards for IAM, account structure, and cost controls — pushing further toward enforcement through code, not process.
• Drive reliability improvements across partner connectivity — reducing manual effort, lead time, and failure modes for provisioning and managing network connections.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• 5+ years of experience in cloud platform engineering, infrastructure engineering, or a related SRE/systems discipline.
• We are hiring from senior to staff level, so whether you have a strong foundation and are ready for more ownership or you have been leading cloud platform strategy for large-scale systems for many years, we would love to hear from you.
• Strong programming skills in Go, with experience building infrastructure automation as software rather than scripts.
• Deep expertise with AWS — IAM, Organizations, networking (VPC, Transit Gateway, Direct Connect, VPN), and multi-account architectures.
• Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, Pulumi, Crossplane, or equivalent) and a clear understanding of when declarative configuration ends and programmable control planes begin.
• A track record of building systems that enforce compliance, security, and cost governance through automation rather than manual review.
• Experience with Kubernetes and cloud-native architectures in production.
• Ability to drive cross-team technical initiatives end-to-end, from ambiguous problem to shipped solution.
• Ability to contribute to architectural decisions and clearly communicate trade-offs to both engineers and leadership.
• The ability to work in a flexible hybrid setup, with 2-3 days a week in the office.

WHY YOU SHOULD APPLY NOW

Our culture rewards ownership, excellence, and high energy. We care deeply about outcomes and hold each other accountable - we’re here to win and fix one of the largest challenges Europeans face - closing the pension gap and democratising wealth. If this gets you fired up, reach out!

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 KUBERNETES PLATFORM JOURNEY

Trade Republic runs a growing fleet of Kubernetes clusters across multiple AWS accounts and environments, underpinning every service that millions of customers depend on. Managing that fleet at the pace the business demands — with the reliability and compliance bar a regulated financial institution requires — made it clear that treating clusters as manually managed infrastructure was no longer an option.

We changed that. We built a hub-and-spoke fleet management platform — ClusterAPI for cluster lifecycle, Crossplane for the infrastructure control plane, Sveltos for addon orchestration, all driven by GitOps from a single source of truth. A new cluster is now a single resource definition. Addons are versioned packages, deployed automatically to every cluster in the fleet. Operational complexity no longer grows with the number of clusters.

The foundation is in place. Now we need to take it further: hardening the platform, expanding to multi-region, pushing availability targets to meet mission-critical service requirements, and making the fleet truly self-healing by default. You will lead that next chapter.

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

As Kubernetes Platform Tech Lead, you will set the direction, own the outcomes, and lead the team building the infrastructure layer that every engineer at Trade Republic depends on to deploy and scale their services with confidence.

• Set the availability standard: Define the cluster topology and isolation model that gets mission-critical services to their availability targets — dedicated clusters per criticality tier, strict failure boundaries between platform and product workloads, and a disaster recovery posture that has been tested and proven.
• Own the networking architecture: Define the multi-account network fabric the entire fleet runs on — VPC design, private endpoints, cross-account connectivity, and the path toward cross-region and multi-cloud. Ensure services communicate reliably and securely across the entire fleet, regardless of where they run.
• Drive toward zero-touch fleet operations: Own the engineering roadmap that turns cluster and addon management into fully automated, self-healing workflows — where a new cluster is a resource definition and an addon rollout is a versioned profile applied across the entire fleet without manual intervention.
• Define the compute contract with product teams: Set the standards for how workloads run on the platform — resource policies, cluster profiles, workload isolation boundaries — and build the guardrails that prevent the noisy neighbour problem before it reaches production.
• Own the platform end to end: Participate in the on-call rotation, ensuring full end-to-end ownership of the systems you build and operate.
• Own the direction and drive it forward: Define the long-term Kubernetes platform strategy, drive cross-team initiatives from kickoff to delivery, and align infrastructure decisions with broader engineering, compliance, and cost goals.
  
  

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• 5+ years of experience in infrastructure, platform engineering, or a related SRE/systems discipline, with a track record of technical leadership.
• Deep, hands-on Kubernetes expertise: cluster architecture, scaling, security, and HA design in production environments.
• Strong networking mastery: CNI, ingress, DNS, service mesh, and cross-region/cross-cloud connectivity.
• Proven experience operating multi-region, multi-cloud environments at scale.
• Experience automating the full cluster lifecycle — provisioning, upgrades, policy, and governance — with self-service enablement for developers.
• Solid backend engineering background — Go is preferred but any strong language is welcome.
• A track record of turning infrastructure best practices into opinionated standards that engineering teams actually adopt.
• Proven ability to define technical strategy, drive cross-team initiatives end-to-end, and hold yourself and others accountable to outcomes.
• Ability to contribute to architectural decisions and clearly communicate trade-offs to both engineers and leadership.
• The ability to work in a flexible hybrid setup, with 2-3 days a week in the office.

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 OBSERVABILITY JOURNEY

In 2023 we made a decisive move: we replaced our observability-as-a-service provider with a fully self-hosted observability stack, giving us complete control over cost, data residency, and the developer experience around telemetry. Today our stack spans the full LGTM suite — Grafana, Mimir, Loki, and Tempo — alongside VictoriaMetrics, self-hosted Sentry, Grafana Alloy as our telemetry collector, and OpenTelemetry as the instrumentation standard. We use Pyrra for SLO tracking and are building toward a unified service health dashboard powered by error budgets and burn-rate alerting.

Telemetry is the backbone of how we operate a bank at scale — ingesting over 100 million samples, serving 400+ services, and capturing end-to-end traces from clients through services to system dependencies. Every trade, every card payment depends on our ability to see, measure, and respond to what's happening in production. We've proven the architecture works. Now we're building a dedicated in-house observability team to take it to the next level: stabilise and harden the platform, drive down cost-per-signal, and build the golden path for observability — where 100% of components ship with production-grade telemetry because the best thing to do is the easiest thing to do.

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

• Build and evolve the observability platform: Design and operate large-scale telemetry pipelines while continuously improving core components with a strong focus on automation, reliability, and developer experience.
• Build for scale, design for cost: Architect high-throughput telemetry systems with sampling strategies, data tiering, and retention policies that balance signal fidelity with infrastructure cost at scale.
• Make production observable by default: Define and implement observability and reliability standards — SLOs, error budgets, and low-noise alerting — and actively support engineering teams in adopting them, making doing the right thing effortless.
• Own the platform end to end: Participate in the on-call rotation for the observability platform, ensuring full end-to-end ownership of the systems you build and operate.
• Own the direction and drive it forward: Define long-term observability direction, drive cross-team initiatives from kickoff to delivery, and align observability strategy with broader engineering reliability and business goals.

• Deep hands-on expertise with the observability stack — Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, Grafana, or equivalent at scale. Hands-on experience with Mimir, Loki, and Tempo architectures is a strong benefit.
• Proven ability to design and operate high-throughput telemetry pipelines across distributed, multi-cloud environments.
• Strong command of SLO-based reliability practices — error budgets, burn-rate alerting, and incident response tooling.
• Cloud-native in your DNA: hands-on with Kubernetes, Terraform, and running production workloads on AWS, GCP, or Azure.
• A track record of turning observability best practices into opinionated standards that engineering teams actually adopt.
• Experience driving cross-team technical initiatives end-to-end, from ambiguous problem to shipped solution.

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

Kafka is becoming the central nervous system of Trade Republic — connecting trading, banking, financial crime detection, and more in real time. Today, scaling our Kafka infrastructure to match the pace of the business means too much manual work, too much operational toil, and not enough time building the platform it could be. We are changing that — treating Kafka clusters as fungible shards of a larger resource pool, with a Temporal-backed control plane, Backstage-integrated self-service, and transparent multi-cluster routing that gives product engineers a zero-config experience.

• Run Kafka at scale: Own the reliability and uptime of our Kafka fleet — design for high availability across domains and shards, engineer for resilience, and ensure near-zero downtime across maintenance, upgrades, and failure scenarios.
• Build the streaming platform: Design and implement the control plane that makes the multi-cluster platform real — cluster lifecycle automation, topic and ACL provisioning, cross-shard replication, and the self-service interfaces that let product engineers onboard without understanding the infrastructure underneath.
• Make streaming best practices the default: Define standards for how product engineers produce and consume — topic design, schema management, consumer group patterns, and reliability practices — and embed them into the platform so the right thing is always the easiest thing.
• Own the platform end to end: Participate in the on-call rotation, ensuring full ownership of the systems you build and operate.
• Own the direction: Shape the roadmap, drive cross-team initiatives, and align the streaming platform with broader engineering and business goals.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• 4+ years of experience in streaming, platform engineering, or a related systems discipline.
• We are hiring from senior to staff level — whether you are a strong Kafka engineer ready to take on platform ownership, or you have already been leading streaming platform strategy across large engineering organisations, we'd love to hear from you.
• Deep, hands-on Kafka expertise: you have run self-hosted Kafka in production and have strong opinions on cluster architecture, scaling, replication, multi-cluster design, performance tuning, and security.
• Solid backend engineering background — Go is preferred but any strong language is welcome; familiarity with Kotlin/JVM is a plus as you'll work directly with product teams who rely on it.
• A track record of turning streaming best practices into opinionated standards that engineering teams actually adopt.
• Cloud-native in your DNA: hands-on with Kubernetes and IaC tooling, running production workloads on AWS or equivalent.
• Ability to drive cross-team initiatives and clearly communicate architectural trade-offs to both engineers and leadership.
• The ability to work in a flexible hybrid setup, with 2-3 days a week in the office.

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

Our database platform is foundational to how Trade Republic works — every trade, savings plan, and card payment touches it. Today, much of our database operations are handled manually or through basic automation. You will change that: building the platform layer that makes PostgreSQL operations self-service, automated, and reliable by default.

• Run PostgreSQL at scale: Own the reliability and uptime of our PostgreSQL clusters — design for high availability, engineer for resilience, and ensure near-zero downtime across maintenance, upgrades, and failure scenarios.
• Build the database platform: Automate the full operational lifecycle — provisioning, configuration, upgrades, scaling, and backup — turning manual database operations into self-service workflows that run without human intervention.
• Make best practices the default: Define database standards — schema design, connection management, query patterns, reliability — and embed them into the platform so the right thing is always the easiest thing.

• Set the database reliability standard: Architect the failover mechanisms, replication topology, and recovery strategies that meet our availability targets — and own the engineering roadmap that closes the gap between where we are and the number of 9s the business requires.
• Drive toward zero-touch operations: Define what fully automated database operations look like — provisioning and scaling to zero-downtime migrations — and lead the platform work that gets us there.
• Own the database technology strategy: Define which database technology fits which problem — set the criteria for adoption, govern the portfolio, and ensure every database choice is intentional and operated with the same level of rigour.
• Define the database contract with product teams: Set the standards for how product engineers interact with databases — schema governance, migration patterns, connection pooling, query performance — and build the tooling that makes it effortless to get right.
• Own the platform end to end: Set the operational bar — define on-call practices and incident response standards for database failures, and hold the team to them.

As a Senior Operations Specialist – Marketplace, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the performance and long-term health of Bolt's French marketplace. You will own pricing strategy across 50+ cities, making sure our value proposition remains compelling and competitively positioned — leveraging ongoing competitive intelligence to anticipate market shifts and sharpen our edge. Through recurrent city-level performance deep dives, you will turn data into action, identifying growth levers and addressing structural challenges across France. You will also drive investment decisions and partner closely with FP&A to co-lead planning cycles that define targets and forecasts — acting as a guardian of our value proposition by ensuring every strategic call is grounded in marketplace realities. 

Main Responsibilities:

• Take full ownership of pricing decisions across the city portfolio, acting as a value proposition guardian by ensuring every pricing call is grounded in data, competitive context, and measurable impact. Partner closely with Product and Analytics to ensure pricing logic translates into tangible operational results.
• Serve as the go-to strategic partner for local P&L owners — helping them understand marketplace dynamics, challenge underperformance, and make confident decisions. Ensure the value proposition remains strong and consistent across cities by bridging the gap between central pricing strategy and local execution realities.
• Establish and maintain a structured competitive intelligence framework: capture competitor moves systematically, publish focused market deep-dives, and translate insights into actionable pricing and marketplace strategy recommendations that keep Bolt ahead of the curve.
• Regularly engage (~2 days/month) with drivers, fleet partners, and hubs to keep decisions rooted in real marketplace dynamics. Use field insights to challenge assumptions, enrich competitive intelligence, and convert on-the-ground realities into measurable improvements in pricing, positioning, and compliance execution.
• Support new city launches by providing analytical and operational foundations during ramp-up, ensuring a strong value proposition from day one and a smooth handover to local P&L owners.
• Establish repeatable processes to capture competitor insights and publish focused deep-dives that influence pricing and marketplace strategy.
• Help bring new cities to life by providing analytical and operational support during launch and early ramp, ensuring strong foundations and a smooth handover to local P&L owners.

Requirements:

• Analytical and strategic thinking - you’re comfortable owning decisions from messy inputs and turning analysis into concrete action. 
• 3–6 years of experience in marketplace operations, strategy, business analytics, consulting, or similar.
• Professional fluency in both French and English.
• You are fluent in SQL and comfortable with spreadsheets/BI; you enjoy building lightweight automation to scale insights. Python is a plus.
• Strong stakeholder alignment skills, with the ability to collaborate closely with local P&L owners, central analytics, Product, Billing, Legal/Compliance, and Public Policy teams.
• Strong attention to detail and a process-driven, compliance-focused mindset.
• Strong ownership and accountability: You hold a high bar for decision quality, ensure transparency and rigor in how decisions are made, and follow through to operational execution.
