Embankment ⚡️
Accuracy is everything. Embankment delivers tech-powered fund services to Europe’s alternative fund managers through a proprietary software platform and operated by our service organization.
Backed by leading investors and trusted by 250+ funds across Europe, we combine deep financial expertise with modern technology to turn complexity into clarity.
We’re 60+ employees across Copenhagen plus offices in Aarhus, Stockholm, Oslo and Luxembourg.
Team and role 🎒
We’re hiring a Director of Software Engineering to lead and grow our Copenhagen-based engineering team (4–5 engineers, with active hiring underway). You’ll report directly to the CTO and take over full responsibility for people leadership, technical direction, and delivery for the team.
You are expected to stay hands-on in the codebase and deeply involved in architectural decisions, while spending most of your time enabling the team to do their best work.
This is a full-time permanent role based in Copenhagen.
What you’ll do 🧭
The product and tech team at Embankment work closely together to deliver a world-class platform for fund services. Just as much as we care about technology, we care deeply about our colleagues and always strive to create the best possible work environment.
At least once a week, we enjoy breakfast together at the office. An optional social run is also scheduled every week, where all levels of running or walking are welcome to get a bit of fresh air together.
Social gatherings across the whole company are scheduled every quarter, usually featuring a shared activity followed by a nice dinner. Our Christmas lunch and crayfish party have also become yearly traditions.
Twice a year, the tech and product teams get together in a cozy setting somewhere in Denmark to hack on a project outside the scope of our usual work items. During these offsites, we cook together, do yoga stretches, go for runs or walks, relax in the sauna, or enjoy whatever the location has to offer.
