Junior Software Engineer

Are you a Backend Software Engineer ready to redefine the future of banking?

At Lunar we are democratizing the power of money and changing the way we all bank, pay, and invest. Since starting in Aarhus in 2015, we've grown rapidly and are now a major player in the Nordics, with offices in Copenhagen, Aarhus and Stockholm

So who are we? Are we a tech company or a bank? Well, we're both, breaking free from the usual categories. Here, tech isn't just a cool add-on; it's the core of how we do things. With our own banking license, we go head-to-head with traditional banks. What sets us apart is the mix of tech and financial services, giving us the power to shake up a dusty industry that's ready for a change.

As we continue our journey to becoming the best everyday bank in the Nordics, we are looking for a Junior Backend Software Engineer to join our Aarhus office and design, develop, and maintain robust and scalable backend systems so that we can accelerate our product development and enhance the Lunar user experience across various domains. As our new Junior Backend Software Engineer you will be part of our growing engineering organization, reporting to one of our engineering leads (manager and team will be decided based on your profile and our current needs). The team currently comprises a diverse group of talented engineers working in/across Aarhus and Copenhagen who are focused on building the core infrastructure and services that power Lunar's innovative financial products within the broader Product & Tech function.

What will you do?

• Design, develop, and deploy highly performant and scalable backend services.
• Contribute to the architecture and evolution of our microservices ecosystem.
• Collaborate closely with product managers and other engineers to translate requirements into technical solutions.
• Ensure the reliability, security, and maintainability of our backend systems.
• Engage in code reviews, share knowledge, and contribute to a culture of continuous improvement.

Curious about the Lunar culture?

Everything at Lunar centers around our core - to challenge. It’s infused into our four values and guides us in how to work together, lead projects, and lead people to reach our mission. Our values aren't just words on a page - they're what make us who we are and shape the vibe of our culture. And trust me, we’re all about the vibe. For a longer read about our culture, click here.

We're excited to welcome everyone to apply for this impactful role! We can’t wait to follow up with talents who we believe are the best fit based on the following criteria:

• Solid experience in backend software development, preferably with a focus on building scalable and resilient systems.
• A collaborative team player who is passionate about sharing knowledge and fostering the success of others.
• Proven ability to thrive in agile environments, seizing opportunities and adapting to evolving priorities, while delivering incremental value.
• Curiosity and a strong desire to learn new technologies. While we primarily code in Go, prior Go experience is a plus, but not strictly necessary. We value your ability to pick up new languages and tools quickly.
• An understanding of event-driven architecture (RabbitMQ) and cloud-based infrastructure (AWS, Docker, Kubernetes) is a strong advantage.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to engage with stakeholders and work effectively in a diverse team.
• We welcome applications from candidates with Junior-level experience.
