European retail investment platform serving 3M+ customers across 16 countries
flatexDEGIRO operates three retail brokerage platforms (DEGIRO, flatex, ViTrade) processing 60M+ securities transactions annually across 50 global exchanges. The tech stack is Java-heavy with Spring Framework and MariaDB, supported by enterprise infrastructure (VMware, Dell EMC, Red Hat) — typical of a regulated financial platform handling €90B in custody. Active hiring skews engineering-focused (8 roles), while projects around design system adoption and Jira consolidation suggest internal infrastructure modernization alongside external product scaling.
