• Continuously improve developer experience, codebase maintainability, and development velocity.
• Balance architectural quality with pragmatic delivery, making informed trade-offs where necessary.
• Actively challenge requirements and existing solutions to prevent technical debt and long-term complexity.
• Collaborate closely with Product, UX/UI, and other stakeholders to translate business needs into robust technical solutions.
• Mentor team members through architectural guidance, code reviews, and technical discussions.

• Strong experience with Next.js / React and TypeScript, with a solid understanding of frontend architecture and performance.
• Strong backend experience with Node.js, APIs, and data modeling (relational and/or NoSQL databases).
• Proven experience designing and operating cloud-native architectures on AWS (e.g. compute, storage, networking, CI/CD).
• Experience making architectural decisions that improve maintainability, scalability, and developer velocity.
• Comfortable owning production systems, including monitoring, debugging, and iterative improvement.
• Experience with Docker and modern CI/CD pipelines.
• Experience or strong interest in using AI-assisted development tools (e.g. Copilot, Cursor, ChatGPT) as part of daily engineering work.
• Excellent English skills. German is a plus.

Soft Skills:

• Strong sense of technical ownership and responsibility.
• Confident in discussing, defending, and revising architectural decisions.
• Strong motivation to make a meaningful and sustainable impact on the growth of the company.
• Ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Flat hierarchies and short communication channels ensure a dynamic working environment.
• An open corporate culture in which you can fully develop your skills.
• Working in a real dream team with strong values such as leadership, empathy, excellence, growth mindset and impact.
