• API Development: You design and develop reliable REST APIs to optimally connect our services with each other and with external systems. You help us make valuable data available to our stakeholders.
• Business & Stakeholder Alignment: You are in regular exchange with customers and internal stakeholders. You develop a deep understanding of our business goals and precisely translate these requirements into our software products.
• Infrastructure: You package your applications into Docker containers and confidently operate/scale them in our Kubernetes environment.

Experience And Skills You Will Need

• Professional Experience: 6 + years experience in software engineering. You are an experienced Software Engineer with solid practical experience in building complex, data-intensive backend systems.
• Architecture & Quality: You routinely apply "Clean Code" and "Clean Architecture" and have in-depth experience in designing and scaling microservice architectures.
• Programming & APIs: Excellent programming skills in Python (especially in parallel data processing)
• Database Scaling: You know exactly how to keep relational and non-relational databases performant and scalable under high load.
• Containers & Orchestration: Confident, battle-tested experience with Docker and Kubernetes.
• Business Acumen & Soft Skills: You possess strong communication skills. You enjoy discussing and presenting ideas with team members, questioning processes, and transforming requirements into technical solutions.

Nice-to-Have (Optional)

• C++ or Rust experience: Additional knowledge in software development with C++ or Rust for highly performance-critical modules.
• Absolute confidence in designing and developing interfaces using FastAPI.
