Why join Performativ?

If this works, every wealth firm runs clients, portfolios and compliance off one shared data layer, with AI agents quietly handling routine work. Performativ, a Copenhagen fintech, is building that operating backbone for wealth managers. Its $14M Series A is modest next to most rounds this half, but iGlobe Partners, Deutsche Borse and Rabo Investments back it, and eight open roles, three in engineering, show the build is underway.

JustBacked's take, based on Performativ's own site and its funding and hiring data.

Join a team of fintech heroes! 🚀

Performativ is changing the way investment advisors and financial institutions operate. We are building a modern platform for portfolio management, reporting, compliance, trading, and client engagement—replacing fragmented systems, manual workflows, and technology built for another era.

Our customers include wealth managers, asset managers, family offices, and financial institutions across Europe and beyond. We are on an ambitious scaling journey, supported by leading global venture capital investors, and are working to become the platform on which modern wealth management runs.

As our new Senior Software Engineer — Wealth Management Systems 📈

You will help the team solve some of the hardest product and data problems across Performativ’s investment platform.

You will work where financial workflows, product decisions, and technical systems meet: portfolio data, reporting, fees, reconciliation, instruments, transactions, cash, performance, and trading. Your contribution will be turning that complexity into coherent solutions that work across customers rather than becoming a collection of one-off customisations.

This is not a narrowly scoped position. We work as one team, and you should be willing to tackle any important problem within our area.

  • You will apply deep experience from wealth management, asset management, private banking, portfolio management, investment operations, trading, custody, or related financial infrastructure to develop sound product and system designs.

  • You will investigate problems that cross financial data, calculations, APIs, integrations, operational processes, and production systems—determining their root causes and delivering reliable solutions that others can understand and extend.

  • You will bring product thinking to ambiguous requirements, working closely with users and customer-facing colleagues to distinguish reusable platform needs from customer-specific preferences.

  • You will use AI agents to produce much of the implementation. We expect you to design the solution, direct agents effectively, challenge their assumptions, review their output, and establish the tests and evidence needed for safe production deployment.

  • You will lead when your knowledge makes you the right person to lead, follow through on what you take on, contribute to the work of others, and help teammates succeed.

Experience with performance calculations, valuations, fees, reporting, reconciliation, corporate actions, or portfolio-management systems would be particularly valuable.

We value your passion 🔥

At Performativ, we are builders first. We have ambitious goals and value the time, judgment, and effort people put into their work. You will be trusted to make your mark and help shape how we solve difficult problems.

We do not divide the platform into personal territories. People develop deeper context in different areas, but we solve problems as a team. Autonomy works only when paired with initiative, collaboration, sound judgment, and follow-through.

AI increases our delivery speed, but it does not reduce our engineering standard or our accountability for the result. You must be technically strong enough to recognise weak abstractions, incorrect assumptions, missing edge cases, security problems, and unsafe production behaviour.

This role is based in Copenhagen. We work together primarily from our city-centre office, with flexibility to work from home when it makes sense. You should already be based in Copenhagen or be ready to relocate.

What we can offer you 🌱

  • Trust and meaningful responsibility from your first day, with the opportunity to influence both our platform and how we build it.

  • Difficult and consequential problems involving financial data, product design, reliability, security, and real operational workflows.

  • The opportunity to define an AI-native approach to developing complex financial software and see your work reach customers quickly.

  • An ambitious, collaborative team with experience from leading technology companies, consultancies, and financial institutions.

  • Strong opportunities for professional development as Performativ grows into a European market leader.
