## About the Role

* Solid professional experience (typically 5+ years) as a fullstack developer, including working within engineering teams and owning solutions from concept to delivery
 * Strong frontend skills with React.js, TypeScript, and JavaScript, paired with solid backend experience (e.g. Kotlin, Java, or Node.js)
 * Confidence working with REST APIs and SDKs, and integrating with external systems
 * Experience mentoring or guiding less-experienced developers, and a knack for bringing structure to how a team works
 * Comfort working directly with stakeholders - you can translate business needs into technical solutions and validate them afterward
 * A strong focus on quality, clean code, testing, and continuous learning
 * Fluent written and spoken English and German - both are required, as you'll work closely with German-speaking stakeholders and customers in the region
 * A self-starter who works well both independently and as part of a team
 * You understand and appreciate diversity and inclusivity in the workplace

Nice to have

 * Experience with Go, MongoDB, Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, Terraform, Prometheus or Grafana
 * A background in professional services, consulting, or building custom, customer-facing solutions
 * Enterprise integration concepts such as SSO, SAML, OIDC, or SCIM
 * A good understanding of REST and microservices architecture

## Description

* Working with skilled and like-minded professionals in a team that values diversity and inclusivity
 * We aim to create a flexible and agile work environment that promotes the well-being and work-life balance of our employees
 * We believe that team events during working hours play a vital role in building an exceptionally effective team, and we encourage them
 * We are enthusiastic about technology and committed to using it to improve the world
 * We follow the "You build it, you run it" approach and take pride in it

The team

You'll join a newly formed team dedicated to building custom solutions that extend the Staffbase platform for our enterprise customers. We turn specific customer needs into reliable, scalable extensions - widgets, plugins, and integrations - that make our product work exactly the way each customer needs it to.

Because the team is new, there's real room to shape how we work: to set engineering standards, bring structure to our processes, and grow together. That's where you come in.

What you'll be doing

 * Own the development of custom solutions end-to-end - from technical design through implementation, testing, and release
 * Partner with stakeholders (customers, consultants, and internal teams) to define and detail use cases before development, then validate solutions and gather feedback afterward
 * Build across the stack: customer-facing UI in React and TypeScript, backend services, and integrations with Staffbase and third-party APIs
 * Mentor mid-level engineers and help bring structure, engineering standards, and good practices to a newly formed team
 * Work in a cross-functional, agile setup and produce high-quality, well-tested code
 * Give and receive valuable feedback in our code review process, and continuously learn and share knowledge with your peers
 * Work iteratively - pushing code frequently, keeping a healthy CI/CD pipeline, and automating where it helps
