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
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

Qualifications

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
Solid backend engineering background — Go is preferred xuezdbg 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
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
4+ years of experience in streaming, platform engineering, or a related systems discipline
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
