Senior Software Developer (all genders)

As a Senior Software Developer, you will contribute to the continuous development of our products and systems while always keeping the value for our customers in mind. You will build new features, improve existing functionality, and ensure that quality and stability remain consistently high.

You enjoy exploring new tools and technologies and integrating them meaningfully into our day-to-day work. You approach your daily tasks in a structured and analytical way. You quickly identify weaknesses in existing code, analyze root causes, and independently implement sustainable solutions.

At the same time, you are a strong communicator and work closely with your own team as well as with other development teams. The goal is to ensure that our solutions work seamlessly together and can be integrated smoothly.

Beyond development, you take on a technical leadership role within the team. You are the go-to person for technical questions and challenges, actively contribute to the design of technical solutions and ensure that implementations follow our architectural principles.

You will also play a key role in onboarding and mentoring new team members, helping them grow and integrate smoothly into the team. You lead or actively contribute to technical refinement sessions, support task planning and help identify opportunities to improve our systems.

In addition, you stay curious about new technologies, proactively identify promising tools and assess their potential value for our tech stack and workflow.
