<div class="show-more-less-html__markup show-more-less-html__markup--clamp-after-5 relative overflow-hidden"> <p><strong>We’re Looking for a Certain Kind of Mind</strong></p><p>We need someone who doesn’t just write backend code, but understands that code lives in a larger ecosystem. Our product is a web application platform, and every decision you make will ripple across the entire system. We’re not interested in a checklist of technologies. We’re looking for <strong>exceptional engineering judgment.</strong></p><p><br/></p><p><strong>Who You Are</strong></p><ul><li><strong>You think in systems, not just endpoints.</strong> You understand that database choices affect frontend performance, API design shapes user experience, and infrastructure decisions impact product velocity.</li><li><strong>You’re rigorous.</strong> You enjoy deep problem-solving and aim for elegant, maintainable solutions. You don’t just fix bugs — you understand why they appeared.</li><li><strong>You’re intrinsically motivated.</strong> You care deeply about the quality of what you build. You think about edge cases because shipping something fragile is unacceptable.</li><li><strong>You get things done.</strong> When you say you will solve something, it gets solved. You balance speed with craftsmanship, and you know when to move fast and when to build for the long term.</li><li><strong>You have depth.</strong> Your experience goes beyond frameworks into the underlying principles of software development. You can explain why something works, not just how.</li></ul><p><br/></p><p><strong>Requirements / Skills</strong></p><ul><li>You have a strong background as a Software Engineer or Backend Developer with deep experience in <strong>Python</strong> and modern backend frameworks such as <strong>FastAPI, Starlette, Pydantic, or Falcon</strong>.</li><li>You are proficient in containerization and cloud-native tooling, including <strong>Docker</strong>, and optionally <strong>Kubernetes</strong> or <strong>AWS</strong> for deploying and operating services.</li><li>You bring solid expertise in working with relational data stores through <strong>SQLAlchemy</strong> and <strong>Postgres</strong>, enabling robust, efficient data modeling and persistence in production systems.</li><li>You have excellent <strong>English</strong> communication skills; the team operates fully in English.</li></ul><p><br/></p><p><strong>What You’ll Do</strong></p><ul><li>Design, build, and own critical parts of our web platform, with a clear understanding of how each component fits into the whole user journey.</li><li>Work closely with frontend and product teams to shape the entire stack because you understand the complete system.</li><li>Make architectural decisions that consider performance, scalability, security, and developer experience — all at once.</li><li>Be a cornerstone of technical excellence on the team.</li></ul><p><br/></p><p><strong>Where You’ll Work</strong></p><p>You’ll join a small, cross-functional team of nine. We operate on trust and autonomy: when you own a project, you own it end-to-end — from concept to outcome. You will have the freedom to choose your approach and the responsibility to see it through.</p><p><br/></p><p>Our team includes six developers (two backend-heavy), a designer, a QA, and a Product Owner. While most of us are based in Hamburg, we span across the USA and the Middle East, building a product that bridges distance through clear communication and shared purpose.</p><p><br/></p><p>Our tech stack can be found here.</p><p><br/></p><p>If this resonates with you — if you think holistically, build thoughtfully, and take deep pride in your craft — we should talk.</p> </div>
