Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark GlobeSearch AS Full time 120,000 - 240,000 per year

JOB DESCRIPTION

is growing rapidly. The company has recently launched several new features and is increasingly exploring how artificial intelligence can enhance both the platform and the user experience. To support its continued growth, Public is establishing a new development team at its Copenhagen Development Center and is seeking a Senior Backend Engineer who wants to take ownership, influence architecture, and grow into a future lead role as the team evolves.

Public is an investing platform that makes building a multi-asset portfolio fast, seamless, and secure. Members can trade stocks, options, bonds, crypto, ETFs, and alternative assets—all in one place. In addition to its comprehensive suite of investing tools, Public offers Alpha, an AI-powered layer that provides fundamental data and custom analysis to help members make more informed investment decisions.

As a Senior Backend Engineer, you will join a strong team of 50 tech professionals based in Carlsberg Byen, Copenhagen. You'll work closely with product management, design, and frontend teams to deliver scalable, reliable, and innovative solutions that power Public's trading platform.

When a new team is eventually established, the role will evolve to combine hands-on software development with leadership responsibilities, pace management, coaching, and fostering collaboration across the team. Public is looking for someone who can both set the technical direction and contribute actively to the codebase.

Your primary tasks and areas of responsibility:

  • Design, develop, and maintain robust backend services in Java Spring Boot.
  • Manage the team's delivery pace
  • Collaborate with teams to translate business needs into elegant technical solutions.
  • Take ownership of complex backend components and guide their long-term evolution.
  • Mentor and support teammates to strengthen technical excellence across the team.
  • Stay curious and contribute to shaping Public's long-term technical strategy.

REQUIRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

The ideal candidate is expected to have a master's degree in computer science, software engineering, or a related field, but experience from a similar role is more important.

Furthermore, you are expected to have:

  • Strong proficiency in Java Spring Boot and hands-on experience in backend development.
  • Experience working in agile environments and collaborating across functions.
  • A solid understanding of software architecture, scalability, and performance optimization.
  • An interest in mentoring others and growing into a leadership capacity.
  • Experience with financial systems or trading platforms is a plus but not required.
  • Fluent in English.

COMPANY DESCRIPTION

Public was launched in 2019 with a mission to make the public markets work for all people. They began by introducing fractional investing and have since expanded to offer a full-spectrum investing experience across both traditional and alternative assets. The company has raised over $400 million from leading investors such as Accel, Tiger Global, Advancit Capital, among others.

The company's headquarters are located in New York, and they also have teams across the U.S., South America, and at their development office in Copenhagen.
