Lead Software Engineer - Finance Technology

Overview

In short:
As a Senior Engineer in the Finance cluster, you will architect and build the technological infrastructure that powers On's global financial operations. You will play a pivotal role in transitioning our finance ecosystem toward a "North Star" architecture — moving away from legacy patterns toward a high-performance, event-driven landscape. At On, we believe everyone in the world should have access to the best sportswear.

For this to happen, we need high-performing, robust financial solutions that ensure our global growth is supported by accurate data, compliant processes, and efficient automation across all legal entities. By leveraging Kafka for real-time data streaming and NestJS for robust microservices, you will ensure our financial systems — from global tax compliance to automated bank integrations — are scalable, reliable, and future-proof.
