We operate in a highly regulated environment and therefore having worked prior in a Fintech or financial Service provider would give you a head start, but is not a must. • You see yourself as a product engineer. That means you are excited by solving customer problems and strive to become an expert in the domain area you are working in. • You enjoy building from scratch. This means high involvement in the product development process itself while advocating for the best engineering practices.

You always thrive for high quality outcomes through focus, determination and attention to detail. • You are a team player. Working together as a team, sharing knowledge & providing mentorship comes naturally to you. Long term - you consider becoming a team lead. • You have no problem with learning new technologies on the go. You try to solve problems with more things than the ones you already know. We will always enable you with that, but your willingness has to come first. • You understand what working in a startup or a similar lean organisation is like. You are able to work with a small team in a lean environment, can move quickly and focus on what's truly important. • You see yourself reflected in the skills above, or you see yourself growing into this path.

🏖️ Benefits

• 🚀 Compensation package: We offer you a competitive salary, based on your experience and the value-add you bring to lemon.markets. • 🕑 Flexible working hours: We trust people to choose when they work best and avoid a rigid 9 to 5 mindset.

But also in the bigger things: celebrating the onboarding of new partners, growing our teams, and owning a strong discussion culture. • 💛 Perks & benefits: We choose benefits that add actual value. We sponsor a Deutschlandticket for employees on unlimited contracts, plus 50% off on Beatvest - our partner for financial education and investing. • 🏝 Workation: Get out of here!
