Job Summary
In this role, you will develop robust backend architectures in Python (FastAPI) and design stable, multi-domain APIs while mentoring team members and solving complex problems.
Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- This is a deep technical role for someone who wants to go deep, not climb an org chart.
- You'll be the technical anchor of our backend - the engineer who sets the quality bar, owns the hardest design decisions, and quietly makes the whole system more robust and scalable.
- The person the rest of the team brings their thorny problems to, and who's genuinely happy to dig in.
- We are explicit about this: this is an IC role with a Staff Engineer trajectory.
- No management obligation, ever.
- Your influence comes through architecture, code, and mentorship - not headcount.
- If your idea of growth is becoming the person whose judgment defines how a system is built, this is for you.
- One note on the title, because it travels badly between companies: we don't measure seniority in years, or in features shipped inside one familiar framework.
- We measure it in the scope of ownership - systems you were responsible for when they broke, designs you had to revisit once reality showed up, assumptions that scale quietly humbled.
- Most good engineers learn that lesson several times, usually the annoying way.
- We'd rather hire someone who already has.
- You will work directly with the founders (former TUM researchers with extensive energy and logistics expertise) on the integration layer that enables electric freight to operate effectively: multiple domains, real production traffic.
- Own the architecture and production-hardening of our backend as we scale from seed onward.
- Design and version stable, multi-domain APIs (multiple integrations, real-time data streams).
- Build the observability backbone - logging, tracing, metrics - so we operate with confidence, not hope.
- Raise the bar across the codebase: patterns, ADRs, reviews, and the unglamorous work that keeps things maintainable.
- Mentor and unblock the team through code and conversation - lift everyone's ceiling.
- Move fluidly into DevOps, SRE, or frontend when that's what the problem needs.

Our expectations of you
Qualifications
- A track record of owning production backend systems in Python (FastAPI) on SQL/Postgres - not just building in them.
- Carrying something you designed through deployment, failure, and the redesign that followed.
- Strong backend and system design instincts - you reason about boundaries, failure modes, and versioning before you write the first line.
- Architectural depth, ideally in charging, fintech, scheduling, or similarly stateful, integration-heavy domains.
- A habit of operating across boundaries - backend, infra, the occasional frontend fix, sometimes code you had no business touching - because the problem never cared what your job description said.
- A teaching reflex: you have an answer to most things and you're happy to share it.
- Bonus: GitHub Actions, observability tooling (tracing/logging/metrics), SRE practices, and a track record of maintaining or contributing to OSS - because you find it fun.
- Most of all: we hire for trajectory and attitude.
- We're looking for the humble, curious expert who's a mentor and coach by instinct - not because it's in the job description.
Experience
- That depth usually takes 5+ years to earn; the years themselves aren't the point.

What we offer
- Impact that matters - every system you harden helps decarbonize logistics.
- Foundational ownership - you define the architecture on which an entire platform is built, at exactly the stage where that work compounds.
- A real IC ladder - Senior * Staff, with the founders invested in your technical growth, not in turning you into a manager.
- Genuinely hard problems - geospatial data, real-time optimization, multi-party integration at production scale.
- Hybrid setup - deep-work flexibility + a central Munich office.
- Perks that support you - JobRad, gym membership, family-friendly policies, and no compromise on hardware.
