    Job Technologies

    Your role in the team

    • Do you want to influence code, architecture, and collaboration rather than just working through tickets?
    • We are a team of around 30 members and develop customized software solutions for demanding client projects.
    • Instead of corporate structures and lengthy approval chains, you can expect short paths, direct decisions, and genuine proximity to projects, clients, and technology.
    • For various client projects, we develop backend systems and APIs - from mobile apps and web applications to platforms that connect multiple systems.
    • This often involves clean integrations, stable data flows, and long-term maintainable architectures that evolve over the years.
    • We deliberately avoid traditional titles such as 'Senior' or 'Junior'.
    • Responsibility for us does not arise from a title, but from your contribution: your technical understanding, the quality of your solutions, your collaboration within the team, and your impact on the project.
    • Roles develop from responsibility and experience in daily project work — not from hierarchies.
    • Our projects are diverse and rarely trivial: different clients and industries, systems that grow and evolve over years, technical decisions balancing quality, time, and pragmatism.
    • Much of it already works very well.
    • At the same time, there are always areas that we want to improve together - technically, organizationally, and in our collaboration.
    • If you enjoy thinking along, taking responsibility, and creating sustainable solutions, you are exactly right with us.
    • You are not only working on individual features but also on the further development of the systems themselves: development and enhancement of backend systems and APIs, design and implementation of robust interfaces and data models, structuring and improving existing codebases, active participation in code reviews as a technical exchange, meetings and classification of technical decisions within the project, contribution to the advancement of quality, maintainability, and team collaboration, development of automated tests, and sustainable development standards.
    • You don't have to rebuild everything – but you should be able to make things visibly better.

    Our expectations of you

    Education

    • You have a degree in Computer Science or a comparable qualification.

    Qualifications

    • For our projects, we are looking for team members who think beyond individual tasks, take responsibility, and want to help shape sustainable software solutions.
    • You make informed decisions — even when not all the information is available.
    • You work in a structured, meticulous, and pragmatic manner.
    • You question existing solutions and seek sustainable improvements.
    • You value functional, type-safe, and maintainable solutions in software development.
    • You have a good sense of how technical decisions impact long-term maintainability, extensibility, and team productivity.
    • You are interested in developing your professional skills and learning new things.
    • Finally: You enjoy software development — understanding complex contexts, solving problems, and collaboratively developing good solutions.

    Experience

    • You have a solid technical foundation and practical experience in backend development.

    What we offer

    • We have a clear commitment to quality and continuously improve our way of working.
    • Technically, we rely on the following technologies and standards: PostgreSQL, modern API development with REST, GraphQL, and OpenAPI, as well as automated testing as an integral part of development.
    • We develop backend systems and APIs that are used in various client products and must remain sustainable in the long term - ranging from classic REST and GraphQL interfaces to more complex data and integration systems.
    • Depending on the project, we operate in a Scala environment with Play Framework, Apache Pekko, Slick, and Cats or in a .NET environment with .NET 4.8/Core, Entity Framework (Core), xUnit, and Testcontainers.
    • Furthermore, we already have established engineering building blocks that we deliberately build upon, such as GitLab CI with reusable pipeline components, Docker and Kubernetes for containerization & deployment, logging & monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana, and Matomo for product-related analytics.
    • Of course, our offerings also include the traditional benefits, such as flexible working hours, modern workplaces, JobRad, Hansefit, as well as team events and activities.
    • Please note that we do not offer remote jobs and aim for the entire team to be present in our office daily.
    • Do you prefer working on-site rather than remotely? Then you are exactly right with us!
