The mission of our team is to streamline factory operations by building world-class scalable software systems, decrease business costs, and solve engineering challenges from both development and support perspective.

• Collaborate closely with backend engineers and product teams during requirements gathering, technical specification, and system design
• Contribute to backend services and APIs (primarily in Golang) to deliver end-to-end features when needed

• Build and maintain shared tooling, test automation, and developer documentation
• Be flexible, responsive, and adaptive to ever-changing business requirements

Requirements

• Strong understanding of software development fundamentals including software design, component architecture, state management, and code maintainability
• At least 4 years of hands-on experience building modern web applications with TypeScript and React (or Angular)

• Experience with frontend tooling and ecosystems: bundlers (Vite, Webpack), testing frameworks (Jest, Playwright, Cypress), and CI/CD pipelines
• Solid experience with RESTful APIs and/or GraphQL — comfortable designing and consuming API contracts
• Working knowledge of backend development, preferably with Golang
• Familiarity with SQL and relational databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc.)
• Full professional proficiency in English; German is a plus
• Experience with Kubernetes or containerized deployments is a plus

Nice to Have

• Experience with design systems or component libraries (e.g., Storybook, Material UI, Tailwind CSS)
• Understanding of observability and monitoring on the frontend (error tracking, performance metrics)

Not only do we offer you an attractive compensation package, but also access to a wide range of perks and benefits. For example:

• Our own medical center, a gym and an in-house barbershop
