- great engineering
- strong fundamentals
- shipping high-quality software quickly
We also work heavily with AI technologies and AI-assisted development workflows to stay at the cutting edge of innovation.
If you want real ownership, autonomy, and the chance to shape the architecture, coding workflows and best practices – all while staying flexible with your working hours and working from whereever you want – this is for you!
Tasks
- Build and evolve backend systems and APIs in Django
- Own architecture decisions: scalability, reliability, maintainability
- Implement and refine CI/CD pipelines and deployment workflows
- Apply clean code practices, design patterns, and strong system design principles. Refactor major parts of the codebase for better long-term maintainability using modern tools such as Claude Code
- Collaborate on frontend work in React (feature work, integration, performance, DX)
- Use and improve AI-assisted development workflows (e.g., faster iteration, better quality, automation)
Requirements
- Strong experience in full-stack development, with a backend focus
- Solid knowledge of architecture, design patterns, and clean-code practices
- Hands-on experience with CI/CD (build pipelines, testing, deployments, release processes)
- Heavy testing and QA practices
- Comfort working across the stack: React + Django
- Familiarity with modern development workflows and tooling, including AI-assisted development
- Bonus: exposure to (or curiosity for) Go and/or Rust as we expand parts of the system
Benefits
- Work from our office in Frankfurt am Main, with remote days once in a while
- Maximum flexibility – set your own schedule; we measure outcomes, not hours
- High autonomy & ownership – you’ll influence decisions and build end-to-end
- Work directly with the CTO – tight feedback loops, fast decisions, real technical leadership
- Your ideas matter – small team, big impact, fast iteration
- Retreats / workations – we meet regularly in inspiring places
- Strong engineering culture – clean architecture, clean code, reviews, testing, observability
- AI at the core – we build with modern AI tooling and integrate AI where it makes sense
- Stock option program – for employees who stand out with their great talent and effort
