• Order Execution & Dataflows: Design and optimize trade execution workflows, clearing/settlement processes, and data models for ETFs.
• Vendor & Market Alignment: Evaluate and align with external infrastructure partners, ETF issuers, and liquidity providers.

What You Bring to the Table

• ETF & Trading Knowledge: Strong understanding of ETF mechanics (creations/redemptions, pricing feeds, clearing, settlement, and trading workflows).
• Backend & API Mastery: Deep knowledge of API design (REST, WebSockets, FIX protocol), microservices architecture, databases, and event-driven systems (Kafka/RabbitMQ).
• Greenfield Mindset: Track record of launching financial features from scratch and navigating complex technical and banking ecosystems.
• Language Skills: Fluency in German and English (written and spoken) is strictly required.
