Job Summary
In this role, you will develop AI-driven payment systems and architect secure backend solutions for payment processing while accurately analyzing and implementing requirements.
Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- Every time a payment is made at the checkout - whether by card, gift card, or cash - processes and software run in the background to ensure that it operates reliably, securely, and in real-time.
- This is exactly what you are responsible for: the systems that enable payments at dm stores internationally.
- Payment at dm is not a completed project, but an ongoing topic that continues to evolve - and the way we build software is evolving at least as quickly.
- We are increasingly relying on AI-assisted development ("Agentic Coding", development factories) — the responsibility for what ultimately runs always remains with humans.
- The real challenge is no longer in typing code, but in thoroughly understanding requirements, guiding and controlling AI-supported processes in such a way that reliable, secure systems are created — especially in a regulated environment like payments, the demands on you increase rather than decrease.
- This is exactly the skill we are looking for: someone who can thoroughly analyze complex technical and professional contexts, translate them into clear specifications, confidently orchestrate AI-supported development processes, and take full responsibility for the outcome — from designing the architecture of new services to integrating card terminals and adjacent systems (cash register, app, ERP).
- Analysis of technical and professional requirements in the payment environment in detail and their translation into clear, actionable specifications – the foundation for everything else.
- With your team, you design AI-powered development processes (factories) and continuously improve them.
- Make and take responsibility for architecture decisions for systems, card terminals, cash registers, and apps, as well as reliably connecting other internal services.
- Ensuring that payment data is processed consistently, traceably, and securely — even, and especially, when code is generated with AI assistance.
- You understand and are responsible for what runs at the end.
- Introduction of new methods and tools within the team as well as sharing your knowledge for the professional and personal development of colleagues.
- Taking real responsibility with your team for the developed software - from operation through quality to scalability.

Our expectations of you
Qualifications
- Practical knowledge of cloud infrastructure (Google Cloud, AWS, or Azure) and API design, as well as ideally skills in SQL, Kafka, RabbitMQ, TDD, or Google Cloud Pub/Sub.
- A good sense for architecture - You think in systems, not just in code.
- Strong requirement analysis skills - You quickly identify the core of the technical issue, even with complex or unclear topics.
- The ambition to master AI-driven development rather than letting it drive you — the responsibility for the outcome remains with you, not with the AI.
Experience
- Several years of experience in backend development (Java and/or Kotlin, Spring), preferably in the payment environment, with card terminals or POS systems.
- Experience with AI-powered development (Agentic Coding, Prompting, Orchestration of Development Agents) or a strong desire to become a driving force in the team here.
- Initial experience in professional or disciplinary leadership or mentoring of colleagues, as well as very good communication skills in German (at least C1).
