• Bring a strong engineering perspective to the team, helping to instill software design best practices, scalable system architecture, and high-quality code standards.
• Collaborate with Engineers, SREs, and other platform stakeholders to deliver robust, maintainable, and secure infrastructure solutions tailored to the needs of both technical and non-technical internal users.
• Actively support platform scalability, observability, and testing efforts, helping to ensure services are production-ready and compliant.
• Take part in roadmap and architecture discussions, contributing your experience in backend systems and your understanding of customer-facing product constraints.
• Foster cross-functional collaboration, knowledge sharing, and mentoring within the team.

What you'll need

• At least 5 years of proven experience as a backend-focused software engineer, designing and building production-grade services and systems.
• Strong programming skills preferably with JVM-based languages like Java or Kotlin, along with familiarity with relevant backend frameworks and tooling such as Spring.
• Solid understanding of software architecture patterns (e.g., microservices, event-driven architectures, REST/gRPC APIs).
• Practical experience with cloud-native development, with strong expertise in AWS.
• Experience working with CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, and familiarity with DevOps/SRE principles.
• Appreciation for the importance of code quality, automated testing, documentation, and observability.

Nice to have

• Knowledge of Golang and Python.
• Experience with deploying and maintaining Kubernetes workloads.
• Familiarity with AI-related AWS services, particularly SageMaker, Bedrock, or similar tooling.
• Prior experience with AI/ML platforms or demonstrated eagerness to learn in this direction.

What they offer

• Premium N26 bank account subscription and subscriptions for friends and family members.
• Additional day of annual leave for each year of service.
• High degree of autonomy and access to cutting edge technologies.
