Senior Software Engineer (m/f/d)

Your mission

You will join a Remote-First, AI-augmented engineering organisation in active transformation — distributed, modernising its practices, and looking for engineers who want to help shape that, not just execute within it. You contribute across the full stack from day one, bring strong engineering habits, and take collective ownership of what the team ships. This is not a role where you settle into a narrow lane. Ownership here is collective: you build, review, deploy, and support together. No one ships alone. Sounds interesting? Apply now and become part of our tranformation!

You build and maintain backend services, APIs, data persistence, and frontend interfaces — design decisions are made collectivelyYou work in small increments, integrate frequently, and keep the codebase in a releasable state at all timesYou design APIs with the consumer in mind: intuitive, versioned, consistent, and built to evolve.You co-own data modelling decisions with your team: schema design, query patterns, and migration strategyYou write automated tests as a first-class deliverable — unit, integration, and API-level — and instrument your software for observability from day one.You improve existing code as you go — refactoring is part of delivery, not a separate activityYou deploy and operate software as a team — everyone understands how the system runs in production, not just the person who last touched itYou document design decisions, API contracts, and domain knowledge clearly in writing, and communicate proactively about blockers, tradeoffs, and progressYou pair with teammates regularly and share effective patterns and tools — including AI workflows — with the teamCode review is a team practice, not a gate. You give feedback that improves the code and the engineer, and you receive it with the same openness

What You Need To Bring

You have 5+ years of professional software engineering with production delivery experience and a demonstrated ability to shape systems, not just implement featuresYou bring genuine full-stack capability — backend, APIs, data layer, and frontend — with the ability to deliver a complete feature without handoffYou have strong API development experience: design, implementation, versioning, and consumer-first thinkingYou are proficient with databases across both relational and document paradigmsYou practice automated testing discipline — tests are part of delivery, not an afterthoughtYou have cloud deployment awareness: you understand how software gets from code to productionYou actively use AI-assisted development tooling (Copilot, Cursor, Kiro, or equivalent)You communicate clearly and effectively in writing, in English — you default to async and use synchronous time intentionally.

Good To Have

You have infrastructure-as-code experience (Terraform, Pulumi, CDK, or equivalent)You practice hands-on observability — you instrument what you shipYou have software design awareness including SOLID principles and knowing when not to apply themYou have experience with NoSQL or document stores (MongoDB, Elasticsearch, or similar)You apply security awareness in design and implementation: input validation, authentication patterns, dependency hygieneYou have experience in a remote-first or distributed engineering teamYou are familiar with event-driven architecture or microservices patterns
