(Senior) Software Engineer (all genders)

We are a fast-growing, Munich-based technology startup building a highly complex, rapidly scaling platform where you will take immediate ownership of system-critical features. Working in an office-first environment, you will have a direct hand in shaping both our technical architecture and our engineering culture from day one.

Overview

Why this role matters

We are scaling quickly in a highly complex domain, which means our system design challenges are growing more sophisticated by the day. To sustain this momentum, we need an engineer who can own entire feature lifecycles, make key technical decisions, and collaborate directly with product and customer success teams to translate business needs into robust code.

Responsibilities

What you'll do

You will own the end-to-end delivery of high-impact features and the underlying system architecture that powers our fast-scaling platform.

  • Architect and implement robust, scalable backend services using Java and Spring Boot.
  • Develop and refine responsive user interfaces using React to ensure a seamless end-to-end experience.
  • Design and optimize complex data models and query performance using SQL.
  • Collaborate directly with our CTO, Product, and Customer Success teams to define and refine technical requirements.
  • Drive engineering excellence by establishing clean system design boundaries and robust testing practices.

Candidate profile

Who this is a fit for

  • You have 3 to 5 years of professional experience in backend-heavy software engineering.
  • You possess strong system design fundamentals including scalability, data modeling, and service boundaries.
  • You write clean, maintainable Java and Spring Boot code, with comfortable full-stack exposure to React.
  • You communicate complex technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders and business teams.
  • You thrive in ambiguous environments and independently break down complex problems into structured solutions.

Culture

What it's like to work here

Fast-moving, ambitious, and high-ownership (high-impact energy). On-site, office-first setup in Munich. Rituals include celebrating wins together, playing table tennis, and enjoying good coffee. Perfect for people who thrive on high autonomy and low structure.

What you get

The offer

  • High autonomy to make critical technical decisions and shape our engineering culture.
  • Direct collaboration with our CTO and leadership team in a flat hierarchy.
  • An energetic, on-site workspace in Munich at Stiglmaierplatz with a close-knit team.
  • A highly collaborative environment featuring regular team-bonding rituals, table tennis, and great coffee.

A quick note

This probably isn't for you if:

  • You prefer highly structured corporate environments with pre-defined ticket requirements and narrow scope.
  • You want to work fully remotely; this role is built around an office-first, collaborative team culture in Munich.
  • You prefer working in isolation rather than closely collaborating with cross-functional, non-technical teams.
