Java Full-Stack Team Lead

Project description

Join a team that's redefining banking technology!

Our client isn't a typical Swiss bank — it's a modern financial institution focused on delivering cutting-edge online trading and financial services. Unlike traditional banks weighed down by legacy systems, their tech stack is lean and innovative.

The team builds products that transform complex, fragmented risk data into clear, actionable insights, enabling smarter and faster decisions to reduce risk. We focus on core business areas such as account risk and work closely with key stakeholders - Risk department, Compliance department, and the Middle Office Fraud Center — to deliver impactful solutions.

You'll be part of a Scrum team of four, collaborating daily with stakeholders through stand-ups, status updates, and Agile ceremonies. We embrace best practices and modern communication tools: Zoom, Teams, Outlook, JIRA, Confluence, and more.

We continuously evolve our solutions to atomic microservices and self-contained systems, based on dockerized environments with CI and CD.

What we offer:
Professional Growth: access to local trainings, on-demand webinars, interactive workshops, and support for conferences and certifications.

Competitive Compensation: Regular annual reviews based on your performance and professional development.

Work-Life Balance & Fun: Team-building activities, corporate events, hackathons, and a variety of engaging initiatives.

If you're proactive, creative, and ready for new challenges, join us! Together, we'll enhance product quality and optimize processes while driving innovation.
