Job Description
Backend Engineer
Parqet
• We are building the backbone of our platform — a central API for financial data that powers all our applications. • Your work ensures complex data streams from multiple sources become a unified, reliable, and lightning-fast foundation on which we can build new products. • Design and develop a central API that consolidates financial data and assets (stocks, ETFs, etc.) from different sources and makes them consistently available. • Build endpoints that elegantly abstract financial and mathematical complexity, forming the foundation for our apps and websites. • Ensure the API provides a first-class developer and product experience for our internal teams and applications — stable, performant, and intuitive. • Debug and resolve production issues across the stack — you'll be close to the product and ensure a robust foundation. • Continuously elevate our engineering standards, tooling, and processes. • Work closely with frontend, design, and product teams to turn the API into real user experiences — with impact, speed, and passion. • Improve Parqet's existing services and stack.
Job Requirements
- Several years of experience developing and operating backends and APIs in production.
- Passion for API design — you think in clear interfaces and well-considered data models.
- Strong knowledge of Python or Node.js (+ TypeScript), and experience with technologies such as MongoDB, ClickHouse, Redis, or Kafka.
- High standards for stability, reliability, and performance of production systems.
- Ability to deliver projects end-to-end and successfully complete them — even when multiple technologies and services are involved.
- Enjoy working closely with product, design, and frontend to turn your API into real user experiences.
- Strong emphasis on documentation, testing, and monitoring.
- Effective communication in German and English, clear and precise.
Benefits
- Equity — 0.1% to 0.5%
- Profit sharing — employee participation in company profits
- Location — Remote (work authorization in Germany required)
- Working hours — Full-time (40h/week)
