As a developer on a junior or intermediate level you will be part of the complete process of software development, giving you great opportunities to demonstrate your existing skills and acquire new ones. As a senior developer your role will be to guide and coach your team in finding the right approaches and laying out architectural foundations.
Our product development journey starts with discussing stories together with the product owner and identifying requirements together with stakeholders.

We believe in people who take ownership of their part of the product and derive satisfaction from positive feedback and happy users.
Following the architectural ideas of REST and leveraging technologies like RabbitMQ and Elasticsearch, you will build scalable, stable and easy-to-integrate microservices that empower our HTML5-Web and mobile applications and interact with a large variety of surrounding systems.
