We value people who can turn complex problems into shipped solutions, especially under time and ambiguity constraints. High standards are the norm — both in terms of technical quality and delivery. Dare to Disrupt We don't believe in incrementally improving broken systems — we challenge assumptions and rebuild them when necessary. At Midas, this means making non-obvious decisions, taking calculated risks, and choosing better long-term solutions over short-term convenience. Ownership & Flexibility We provide flexibility in how and where you work. What matters most is taking ownership, communicating clearly, and consistently delivering results. Scale & Growth With millions of users and rapidly increasing traffic, you'll continuously face scaling challenges — both technical and organizational. Modern Engineering Approach We encourage engineers to leverage modern tools, including AI-assisted development, to move faster and solve problems more effectively — without compromising quality.

Includes features for equities, mutual funds, and cryptocurrency trading. (SaaS / mobile app) - **[Midas Web Platform]**: Web-based access for trading and portfolio management, complementing the mobile app. ## Market Standing - **Valuation**: Not publicly disclosed (latest round was Series B in September 2025) - **Key Metric**: Total Funding of **$139M** (across 4 rounds, including $80M Series B led by QED Investors in Sep 2025) - **Annual Revenue**: **$3.75M** (estimated from LinkedIn data) - **Notable Investors**: QED Investors (lead Series B), Portage Ventures (lead Series A), Spark Capital, Earlybird Digital East Fund - **Growth Signals**: - Monthly website traffic ~788k visits, +25.1% month-over-month and +10.7% year-over-year. - Headcount grew **23.6% YoY** to 350 employees. - Active job postings increased **80% year-over-year** (9 open roles). - Recently launched a card product and expanded into new asset classes. ## Competitive Advantages - **Regulated Brokerage**: Holds a SPK (Capital Markets Board of Turkey) license, offering a trusted, compliant platform in a market with high demand for accessible investing. - **Zero-Commission Model**: Disrupts traditional Turkish brokerage fees, attracting cost-sensitive retail investors. - **Local + Global Access**: Allows Turkish investors to trade both BIST and US stocks seamlessly from a single app. - **Strong Tech Stack**: Modern infrastructure (Kubernetes, microservices, PostgreSQL, Python, etc.) enabling rapid feature development and scalability. ## Strategic Focus - **Product Expansion**: Growing beyond equities into mutual funds, cryptocurrencies, and a card product to become a comprehensive financial super-app. - **International Growth**: Already has employees across 16 countries; likely targeting expat Turkish communities and broader European markets. - **Engineering & Data**: Hiring aggressively for data, infrastructure, and platform roles (e.g., Analytics Manager, Infrastructure Engineer, Engineering Manager for Data Store & Reliability) to support scaling. ## Why Work Here - **Culture**: Described as a fast-growing fintech with a flat hierarchy and a focus on ownership. However, Glassdoor-style ratings are low (2.0/5.0 based on 3 reviews) – take with caution. The large number of ex-employees from top Turkish tech companies (Trendyol, Getir, Papara) suggests a competitive talent environment. - **Remote/Hybrid Policy**: Not explicitly stated, but offices in Istanbul (Uskudar and Üsküdar). Likely hybrid given the tech-heavy workforce. - **Engineering Culture**: Strong emphasis on modern tools (Kubernetes, GitOps, observability stack). Engineering makes up ~43% of the workforce (149 out of 350). Active hiring for senior and lead engineering roles. - **Perks**: Not detailed, but as a well-funded Series B company, likely offers competitive compensation (4.0/5.0 compensation rating) and equity. ## Sources 1.
