Software Engineer

The European fund industry manages tens of trillions in assets and behind every one of those funds sits a depositary - the independent oversight layer ensuring assets are accounted for, cash flows are correct, and regulations are met. It's one of the most critical functions in global finance, and most people have never heard of it. Depowise builds the platform that powers it, enabling depositaries to deliver precise, efficient, and defensible oversight for some of the most systemically important financial institutions in the world. Our team spans Luxembourg, one of the world's largest fund domiciles, Germany, a major European fund market, and Estonia, our technology hub. We are growing - fast.

To do that, we need great people. This is one of those roles.

We are looking for a Software Engineer who ships reliable, scalable systems and uses AI pragmatically to move faster. You bring strong fundamentals in system design, data, and testing, and take end-to-end ownership of complex work.

As a Software Engineer, you will:

• Design and build services with clear boundaries, strong failure handling, and predictable behaviour in production.
• Own the full product development lifecycle: uncover problems, shape solutions, deliver working software, launch to clients, and close the loop with real-world feedback.
• Improve quality through TDD, comprehensive testing, CI/CD, and strong production observability.
• Partner with Product and Design to turn customer problems into simple, shippable solutions.
• Mentor teammates through reviews, pairing, and knowledge sharing, and help set engineering standards.
• Share your work proactively within Engineering and with the wider community.
• Use AI for ideation, diffs, code generation, and documentation while taking full ownership of the outcomes.

You’ll thrive in this role if you have:

• Experience building scalable backend systems and familiarity with distributed systems concepts.
• A track record working with high-volume data and performance tuning.
• Hands-on experience with .NET and C#, relational databases, and React.
• Strong testing practices (unit, integration, and end-to-end) and observability skills.
• Clear communication and documentation skills, with the ability to unblock others and deliver outcomes.
• Practical experience using AI for planning, implementation, refactoring, and testing.

We especially value:

• Interest in or experience with cloud infrastructure engineering.
• The ability to thrive in an agile development environment.
• A collaborative mindset with strong communication skills and a commitment to courage, honesty, and efficiency.
• Curiosity and strong analytical thinking.
