## Description

At SKIDATA, we're evolving the cloud platform behind some of the world's leading access solutions. We're looking for an experienced Senior Software Engineer (m/f/d) to bring deep software engineering expertise, influence technical direction, and help us build the next generation of our platform.
The Rolle
At SKIDATA, we build software that needs to perform when it matters most. Every day, our cloud services handle high volumes of transactions and must remain fast, reliable, and available around the clock. For us, software engineering is not just about writing code. It's about making the right technical decisions to deliver systems that customers can trust.
You'll play an important role in shaping how our platform evolves. You'll contribute ideas, influence architectural decisions, and help solve complex challenges around scalability, performance, and reliability. If you're motivated by building high-quality software, working alongside experienced engineers, and having a genuine voice in technical discussions, you'll find both challenge and impact here.
What You'll Do

 * Technical Authority: Help shape architecture and design decisions for our Java-based cloud services, setting the standard for quality, performance, and reliability across the platform.
 * Specification-Driven Development (SDD): Turn requirements into clear, testable specifications that guide design, implementation, and verification from the very start.
 * Feature Ownership: Own the end-to-end design and implementation of complex, cross-cutting features in our cloud services, building in scalability and robustness from day one.
 * Performance & Scalability: Drive performance and reliability initiatives so that our cloud services scale for customers around the globe.
 * Cross-Team Collaboration: Partner closely with architects, developers, QA, product owners, and hosting teams to align design decisions and deliver robust, high-impact solutions.
 * Engineering Excellence: Raise the technical bar through code reviews, knowledge sharing, and the promotion of best practices such as SDD, TDD, CI/CD, and modern development approaches.
