Who we are
We’re
BUX, a tech company that is rocking the world of finance. By taking
down all barriers and disrupting the trading experience, we're helping
new generations of first-time investors to discover the financial
markets. We launched our first app back in 2014 and have welcomed over
1.7 million users across Europe since then. We’re now building a full
fledged stockbroker, in order to support multiple investment apps. In
parallel we’re working on a second app. Our first app is mainly
targeting short term traders, whereas the new app will offer long term
investing. Our end goal is to offer a family of apps, catering to
everyone who wants to do more with his or her money.
About the team
Engineering
is the heart of our business and we have a really experienced tech
team. Between the CTO and our tech leads, there are several decades of
development experience. This is one of the smartest teams you'll have
the chance to work in. It will help you push yourself to the next level.
Why will you enjoy working for BUX?
- You‘ll
be participating in the creation of new products & features
together with the Product and Design teams. You will always have your
own voice in the process.
- You’ll be challenged to work with real-time data and provide a
smooth user experience through high-quality, high-performance code;
- You‘ll be implementing neat features with premium UI/UX in the
simplest manner, so they are not only readable and maintainable, but
also working just as envisioned.
- You’ll have the freedom to choose your own tooling and judge if
a new tool can be used to increase productivity, code readability, and
maintainability. We try not to use something just because the “cool
kids” are doing it.
- Lastly, the business domain is interesting. You will learn how the financial system works on the inside.
