Backend Engineer

You want to

Move to Berlin and join our team of seven people (5 engineering, 2 business) here in our office in Berlin, Germany. You want to report to and learn from our Head of Engineering and CTO who each have 8+ years of programming experience, to push our progress in all areas of backend engineering, including:

• working on our application backend (node, TypeScript)
• building connectors to very challenging APIs
• writing documentation
• scaling our infrastructure to handle millions of records synced per day
• improve our observability and reliability
• contributing to our sprint planning

You want to understand the business and not just work through well-spec’ed Jira tickets. That means joining sales calls (only listening, not pitching), working directly with our customers on Slack or Zendesk, and actively shaping the product and company by bringing in your ideas and challenging all of us.

You are comfortable with chaos - of which there will be a lot - and want to join a small and fast-moving team. We grew from 0 to 50 customers in the last six months, and there’s no sign of things slowing down any time soon.

You want to be challenged to grow personally by direct and sometimes challenging feedback.

You have

At least five years of working experience as a backend engineer. Having experience with node and TypeScript is preferred but not required. More important is your general ability as an engineer, as languages and frameworks can be learned fairly quickly. Experience with frontend technologies such as React is a plus but not required.

Again, this is not a remote position, so you should be willing to relocate to Berlin.

Sounds good?

If you want to move to Berlin, think you’re a good fit for this role, and interested in joining this adventure, we’d love to have a chat and perhaps even invite you to work with us for two days at the office to get to know each other better.
