What You’ll Be Up To:

  • Designing scalable, reliable systems with a clear focus on maintainability and long-term sustainability.
  • Driving architectural decisions, collaborating across teams to ensure solid system design and technical consistency.
  • Guiding and mentoring other engineers by working through them and prioritizing team success over individual delivery.
  • Proactively identifying technical improvements, system optimizations, and architectural opportunities—without waiting for someone to ask.
  • Supporting engineering teams with self-service infrastructure and automation (AWS, Terraform).
  • Ensuring platform reliability through best practices in monitoring, logging, and operational excellence.
  • Participating in on-call rotations and supporting the team in resolving production issues with a calm, collaborative approach.

What You’ll Bring to the Team:

  • 8+ years of experience in backend engineering, including at least a few years of technical leadership.
  • Expert-level knowledge of C# (.NET) development and solid experience with PostgreSQL (or strong SQL proficiency).
  • Deep understanding of cloud infrastructure, preferably AWS (or other major cloud platforms).
  • Strong background in designing and building distributed systems and scalable architectures.
  • A practical, balanced mindset: you care deeply about quality but know when it's time to ship.
  • Clear, concise communication skills—able to collaborate cross-functionally and explain complex ideas in simple terms.
  • A proactive attitude: you don’t wait for permission to improve things.
  • Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools (e.g., Terraform), and containerization (Docker, ECS, or Kubernetes).
  • Bonus: Familiarity with event-driven architectures (Kafka is a plus, not a must).

What We Offer:

  • A Diverse & International Team – Work alongside passionate experts from various disciplines and backgrounds, fostering a truly global perspective.
  • Flat Hierarchy & Flexible Structure – Enjoy autonomy and ownership in an environment that values collaboration over rigid hierarchies.
  • A Key Role in a Fast-Growing Startup – Be part of one of the most promising international startups in the hospitality industry, right in the heart of Munich.
  • Fair & Transparent Compensation – Benefit from a clear peer review system and career progression plan designed to reward your growth.
  • Flexible Working Style – We support flexible hours and remote work, depending on the role.
  • Engaging Team Events – Join us for cocktail club nights, team dinners, meet-ups, and the legendary Oktoberfest celebrations!
  • 30 Days of Vacation – Recharge and enjoy a generous annual leave policy.
  • Free Public Transportation in Munich – We’ve got your commute covered!
