What we do:

wealthAPI enables financial multipliers to monetize trust. We provide core financial solutions for large financial education and comparison platforms, portals and other partners. Together, we drive the ongoing disruption of the wealth management market - with one goal: empower everybody to be his or her own portfolio manager.

About you:

You are an experienced software engineer and at the same time passionate about investing. You love to put your experience behind a fast growing, community-driven solution. You are able to read through order statements and to interpret the data on your own. Investment related terms like "Split", "Spin-Off", or "Knockout" are nothing new for you. Optimally, you already have hands-on development experience with banking or brokerage APIs.

When coding, solving complex problems motivates you. Combining reverse engineering with high quality requirements makes your engineering skills shine. High test coverage is your standard.

At wealthAPI, we live an open discussion culture, decide together and develop as a team. You are encouraged to take your own decisions and actively shape our products.

Performance in the job is important to all of us - at the same time both founders have family. This means we care about compatibility of family and career.
