The start-up is opening a new office in Sweden. The trading provider is also appointing two new managing directors.

The online broker Trade Republic, based in Berlin and Düsseldorf, has announced the creation of 250 new jobs in IT. The start-up is also opening a new office in Stockholm, which will serve as a "tech hub". According to the company, all advertised positions are available there.

The new employees can also work from home. This is how the start-up wants to attract applicants from all over the world. Trade Republic explains that it is offering positions in the areas of "frontend, backend, core infrastructure and data". They are open to applicants with all levels of experience.

"Stockholm is one of the most important tech hubs in Europe and as such attracts the best developers," says founder Christian Hecker. "Our Vice-President of Engineering, Jan Plasberg, will manage the location, work on new products with his team and further develop the infrastructure." And there is another new addition: financial experts Andreas Torner and Gernot Mittendorfer will become new Managing Directors at Trade Republic. Andreas Willius and Karsten Müller previously held this position.

Trade Republic is active in six European countries. The start-up has already received almost one billion US dollars from tech investors such as Sequoia, Founders Fund, Accel, TCV and the Stockholm-based investor Creandum. Trade Republic is a securities trading bank licensed in Germany and supervised by the Bundesbank and BaFin. The company was founded in 2015 by Christian Hecker, Thomas Pischke and Marco Cancellieri. According to its own information, it reaches more than 250 million people in six European countries.
