You work as one of two engineers on our system, with a focus on the Python backend: data model, business logic, APIs and the integrations our operations run on. If full stack is your thing, the rest is open to you: the staff portal in Next.js and our two apps in React Native. You share responsibility and cover for each other, in everyday work and during vacations.

• You build features from the data model through the business logic to the finished API endpoint, and all the way to the screen if you want.
• You work on core topics like the budget engine, billing, the payroll pipeline and matching. Logic where diligence really counts.
• You maintain code in production that real people use every day: our operations team, caregivers, and customers with their families.
• You work directly with product and the tech lead, no layers in between. Requirements arrive as fully worked-out specifications from our knowledge base, not as two-line tickets.
• You get freedom and real responsibility: the system is brand new, much of it is taking shape right now, and you help decide where it goes. The roadmap includes shift planning, analytics, a marketing module and an ambassador platform.

• Backend: Python 3.12, FastAPI, SQLAlchemy 2, Alembic, PostgreSQL, on Google Cloud (Cloud Run, Pub/Sub, Cloud Storage)
• Portal: Next.js 16, React 19, TypeScript, MUI, TanStack Query, generated OpenAPI client
• Apps: React Native with Expo, shipped through the app stores
• Integrations: Google Workspace (Gmail, Calendar, Meet), Auth0, Aircall, WhatsApp and DATEV, plus payment and e-signature providers
• How we work: AI-assisted. Specifications, code and reviews are created with AI support, as our everyday standard, not as an experiment.

What you bring

• At least 3 years of experience in professional product development, more is a plus
• Solid Python experience in production, ideally with FastAPI and SQLAlchemy or comparable frameworks
• Confidence with relational databases and SQL, PostgreSQL in our case
• You already code with AI support as a matter of course, ideally with real enthusiasm. For us this is a requirement, because it is how we work every day.
• Diligence where mistakes cost money or trust: billing, payments, personal data
• Fluent English. German is a plus.
• Appetite for a small team with a lot of responsibility and a direct line to the people who use your software

• TypeScript, React, React Native or Next.js, if you also want to work on the frontend
• App store releases and Expo EAS
• Google Cloud, Google Workspace APIs, or experience with payment and e-signature integrations
• Experience in regulated domains such as health, care or fintech
• WebSockets and real-time features
• German language skills, since our domain and our specifications are in German

• A brand-new system with real room to shape it: two engineers, clear specifications, no decades-old legacy, and plenty of space to keep building
• Freedom and responsibility from day one, flat hierarchies, no meeting marathons
• Real social impact: your work helps seniors get support and makes sure caregivers are paid fairly and on time
• Home office with regular shared days at our Berlin office
• Several weeks per year of fully remote work, from abroad if you like
• 30 days of paid vacation
• A new MacBook with serious power
• An annual learning budget plus two extra paid learning days
• An Urban Sports membership
• Deutschlandticket (Germany-wide public transport pass)
• Regular team events

What happens next

Our process is deliberately fast and straightforward, in three steps: a short intro call, a technical interview, and finally a small case study plus meet the team.

No need to send us a novel. Your CV, GitHub or LinkedIn profile and a few sentences on why this is exactly your thing are plenty.

Compensation

The annual salary for this permanent, 40-hour-per-week role is EUR 60,000–70,000 per year.
