  • Test-driven development and automated testing frameworks.
  • CI/CD pipelines using tools like GitHub Actions or Circle CI.
  • Hands-on work with PostgreSQL and NoSQL databases.
  • Background in high-traffic or mission-critical systems, especially in FinTech or e-commerce.
  • Experience with prompt engineering, AI workflow tools, or building autonomous AI agents.

What We Offer

  • 30 days of annual leave.
  • A competitive compensation package.
  • €1,500 annual budget for training and professional development.
  • Early responsibility and continuous growth supported by individual coaching.
  • Free public transit pass (BVG ticket).
  • Access to employee discounts across fitness, retail, and digital services.
  • Company-matched pension program.
  • Inclusive culture that values diverse perspectives and authentic contribution.
