Lunar operates a multi-country retail and business banking platform built on polyglot infrastructure (Go, Kotlin, Java, C#) across AWS, GCP, and Azure with Kubernetes orchestration. The company is engineering-heavy and security-focused, with active hiring in infrastructure and platform roles while adopting Cursor and migrating away from Jenkins—typical of a maturing fintech moving toward faster development velocity. Core pain points cluster around 24/7 payments reliability, legacy process replacement, and partner clearing integrations, all reflected in their project roadmap.
Lunar is a publicly traded digital bank founded in 2015 and licensed in 2019, now serving over 1 million private and business customers across Denmark, Sweden, and Cyprus. The product spans retail banking (debit cards, payments, investments) and business banking, with recent focus on loyalty/benefits tiers, domestic payment rails, and SMB onboarding workflows. The organization of ~450 people is structured around core functions: engineering dominates the hiring pipeline, followed by product and operations, with dedicated security and data teams reflecting the regulatory and operational complexity of banking infrastructure.
Go, Kotlin, Java, C# for application code; AWS, GCP, Azure for cloud; PostgreSQL and CockroachDB for data; Kafka and RabbitMQ for messaging; Kubernetes for orchestration; iOS and Android for mobile clients.
