Job Technologies

Your role in the team

You will take on the technical leadership of a small development team and play a central role in the further development of our backend architecture with Kotlin and PostgreSQL.
Your responsibilities include comprehensive support and further development of complex modules as well as actively shaping architectural decisions.
In daily operations, you support concepts, reviews, and development questions, ensuring an open exchange of knowledge.
A particular focus is on implementing containerization solutions with Docker and on the introduction and optimization of automated CI/CD pipelines.
You are also responsible for the setup and operation of a modern monitoring system using the Grafana stack (Mimir, Loki, Tempo, Pyroscope) for comprehensive monitoring and visualization of the backend systems.
Of course, you work closely with our colleagues from Frontend, DevOps, and Product Management to ensure smooth processes and clean interfaces.
This position can be performed 100% remotely from home. You can therefore decide for yourself when and where you want to work within Germany.
Part-time employment is generally not an issue, but it would be ideal if you spend at least 35 hours per week with us.

Our expectations of you

Education

You have successfully completed a scientific degree (a PhD is also welcome) and can truly be proud of your excellent result.

Qualifications

You possess in-depth knowledge of containerization and CI/CD processes and know how to establish and scale these topics within a team.
You think in architectures rather than just in modules. Structuring, scaling, and future-proofing complex systems is exactly your thing.
You have already led or supported a small team technically and enjoy sharing knowledge, improving processes, and driving technical quality forward.
Analytical thinking, a sense of responsibility, and clear, open communication characterize you as a person.
You have very good German skills (at least C1) and good English skills to ensure smooth collaboration with your team and our partners.

Experience

You have several years of experience in backend development, ideally with Kotlin (or Java) and PostgreSQL, and you feel at home in containerized environments with Docker.

What we offer

We are an open and ambitious team of over 500 employees who truly embody customer orientation while having fun at the same time.
Even after more than 10 years, we maintain a startup atmosphere that, in addition to the legendary fruit basket, offers a variety of perks such as a tax-free shopping card, company bike leasing, and health courses (e.g., yoga, back training, and mental health) – both online and in the office.
Depending on the area of deployment (and this applies to at least 75% of all company departments), we offer all our colleagues flexible working hours and home office options.
We see ourselves as a close-knit team with a collaborative rather than competitive atmosphere.
Outside of work, we organize events such as beach volleyball in summer, barbecues, cooking evenings, or paddling tours.
