Job description

I am looking for a Kotlin Backend Developer (m/f/d) for a growing software company in Düsseldorf who would like to help develop modern and technically sophisticated backend solutions and continue to grow professionally in a forward-looking environment over the long term.

You can expect a young and dynamic team with short decision-making paths, plenty of technical freedom, and the opportunity to actively shape the company’s future growth in an exciting environment. You’ll work on long-term software projects, further develop interfaces and backend components, take on responsibility, and have the chance to directly contribute your ideas to the technical development process. Responsibilities

  • Development and enhancement of modern backend applications using Kotlin
  • Design, development, and integration of interfaces and REST APIs
  • Analysis and expansion of existing Java-based software components
  • Collaboration on the technical design and architecture of new features
  • Implementation and further development of AI-powered applications
  • Ensuring high software quality through testing, code reviews, and documentation
  • Close collaboration with the development team in an agile work environment

Requirements

  • Practical experience in backend development with Kotlin outside of Android development
  • Knowledge of Java 17
  • Development of modern REST APIs
  • Strong knowledge of Gradle and Maven
  • Independent, structured, and solution-oriented approach to work
  • High sense of responsibility and professional handling of confidential information
  • Willingness to collaborate on security-related software projects
  • German language skills at least at the C1 level

Benefits & conditions

  • Three days of remote work per week
  • Modern work environment in a central location in Düsseldorf
  • Free parking directly at the office
  • Flexible working hours and a 38.5-hour workweek
  • The opportunity to receive a company car
  • Plenty of creative freedom and short decision-making paths
  • Long-term career prospects in a growing company

Even if you don’t meet every requirement 100 percent, I look forward to receiving your application!
