Job description
You're not just coding APIs - you're unlocking achievements in a high-paced, ever-changing arena.
- Be part of a small but mighty squad (currently 3 devs * soon +2).
- Knowledge-sharing culture & frequent code reviews = constant XP boost.
- Ownership of your code: monitoring, greenkeeping, improving.
- Hybrid playstyle: work remote, but meet IRL in Berlin HQ at least once a week.
- Work on complex systems where your input actually changes the meta.
Activities
- Develop and maintain microservices that connect worlds (internal & external systems).
- Command side quests (and sometimes the main questline) when the Tech Lead is away from keyboard.
- Shape the team's strategy with your strong opinions and battle-tested experience.
- Master the arts of authentication & authorization (OAuth, Auth0 integrations, specs reading = your spellbook).
- Design & optimize SQL databases like a level 99 architect (bonus points for PostgreSQL mastery).
Requirements
Must-have Powers:
- 5+ years XP as Backend/API Developer in Node.js + TypeScript.
- Legendary SQL & DB design skills (PostgreSQL = epic weapon).
- ORM wisdom (knowing both the buffs and nerfs).
- Strong in automated testing (jest/mocha, coverage quests).
- Docker, Git, JavaScript, SQL - all mastered.
Bonus Perks (Nice-to-have Items):
- AWS, Grafana, Prometheus, Graylog.
- Academic background (Computer Science, Software Engineering).
- Leadership XP (professional, not disciplinary).
