Head of Engineering, Platform (f/m/d)

We are looking for a full-time Head of Engineering to help us build a securities Platform for financial institutions, the first API of that kind in Europe.

You will lead the Platform Tribe, which comprises three teams. These teams are responsible for critical domains such as Infrastructure, Reliability and Development Tooling and shared libraries, all of which are essential for Upvest’s Investment API.

The Platform Tribe exists to give every engineer at Upvest the fastest, safest path from idea to production. We own the foundations that make great engineering possible: the infrastructure teams build on, the tools they build with, the shared libraries that let them move fast without reinventing the wheel, and the observability and reliability practices that keep our systems trustworthy at scale. We measure our success not by what we ship, but by how much faster and more confidently every other engineering team can ship — because when the platform is invisible, it's working.
