Securities and fund platform for Germany's savings bank network
DekaBank operates as the securities house for Germany's Sparkassen cooperative banking network, managing investment funds, real estate funds, and structured products across 1,000+ employees. The tech stack reflects a financial services organization in transition: legacy Java/Oracle/SAP foundations paired with modern web standards (Angular, C#) and emerging adoption of Blockchain and Automic Workload Automation. Active hiring across engineering, finance, and product—with a notable concentration of senior-level roles—signals sustained investment in platform modernization, particularly around depot systems and regulatory compliance infrastructure.
