Senior Software Engineer (m/f/d) - Employment Contract Only (No B2B)

Job description

Your mission You will join a Remote-First, AI-augmented engineering organisation in active transformation — distributed, modernising its practices, and looking for engineers who want to help shape that, not just execute within it. You contribute across the full stack from day one, bring strong engineering habits, and take collective ownership of what the team ships. This is not a role where you settle into a narrow lane. Ownership here is collective: you build, review, deploy, and support together. No one ships alone. Sounds interesting? Apply now and become part of our tranformation! You build and maintain backend services, APIs, data persistence, and frontend interfaces — design decisions are made collectively You work in small increments, integrate frequently, and keep the codebase in a releasable state at all times You design APIs with the consumer in mind: intuitive, versioned, consistent, and built to evolve. You co-own data modelling decisions with your team: schema design, query patterns, and migration strategy You write automated tests as a first-class deliverable — unit, integration, and API-level — and instrument your software for observability from day one. You improve existing code as you go — refactoring is part of delivery, not a separate activity You deploy and operate software as a team — everyone understands how the system runs in production, not just the person who last touched it You document design decisions, API contracts, and domain knowledge clearly in writing, and communicate proactively about blockers, tradeoffs, and progress You pair with teammates regularly and share effective patterns and tools — including AI workflows — with the team Code review is a team practice, not a gate. You give feedback that improves the code and the engineer, and you receive it with the same openness Your profile What you need to bring: You have 5+ years of professional software engineering with production delivery experience and a demonstrated ability to shape systems, not just implement features You bring genuine full-stack capability — backend, APIs, data layer, and frontend — with the ability to deliver a complete feature without handoff You have strong API development experience: design, implementation, versioning, and consumer-first thinking You are proficient with databases across both relational and document paradigms You practice automated testing discipline — tests are part of delivery, not an afterthought You have cloud deployment awareness: you understand how software gets from code to production You actively use AI-assisted development tooling (Copilot, Cursor, Kiro, or equivalent) You communicate clearly and effectively in writing, in English — you default to async and use synchronous time intentionally. Good to have: You have infrastructure-as-code experience (Terraform, Pulumi, CDK, or equivalent) You practice hands-on observability — you instrument what you ship You have software design awareness including SOLID principles and knowing when not to apply them You have experience with NoSQL or document stores (MongoDB, Elasticsearch, or similar) You apply security awareness in design and implementation: input validation, authentication patterns, dependency hygiene You have experience in a remote-first or distributed engineering team You are familiar with event-driven architecture or microservices patterns Why us? A role in a global logistics technology company working on software that routes and plans millions of vehicle movements across Europe and beyond A Remote-First engineering culture with meaningful async collaboration — a team that values doing the right thing over velocity metrics A real transformation to contribute to: cloud-native platform with meaningful engineering decisions still ahead Modern tooling and a culture that actively invests in AI-assisted workflows, observability, and continuous delivery Professional development and the autonomy to shape how we build software going forward Regular team events and a strong engineering community across a mid-sized, focused organisation Competitive compensation aligned with experience, reviewed regularly Here you can find our values and benefits: Further information Location: remote EU Contact Person Magdalena Riffault Senior Talent Acquisition Partner
