The salary starts at €3,500 gross per month, along with stock options and other benefits. Working in our Bloomreach offices or from home on a full-time basis, you'll become a core part of the Engineering team.

Why should you join us?Wide and high impact – we build systems that are used by other developers or our customers. Sometimes both.Sculpting the product – we work in close cooperation with the product team so you can shape the final product.Build it and run it – we are in charge of running and maintenance of our software. That allows us to design it properly and it also brings interesting challenges. Innovation at the core – since we build the platform for other engineers, we also drive innovation in the engineering organization and decide which tools to adopt.

Then you join your teammates on a quick daily sync to figure out technical challenges, discuss design proposals or just chat with the colleagues.After the meeting, you get into “the zone” and spend a few undisturbed hours working on the new authentication framework while making sure it’s safely covered by a suite of unit tests. With a few clicks you quickly spin up a brand new instance of the system in the development cluster, deploy your change and notify the frontend engineer that it’s ready.You grab a snack and take a little break from coding. Instead, you help a fellow backend engineer from another team figure out the best way to integrate their new service with the audit logging platform. In the meantime the frontend engineer gets back to you and confirms that all the new endpoints work as expected, so you create a merge request and ask your teammates for a code review. It’s a complex piece of code, so you go through it together.After your code is approved, you merge it, automatically deploying it to the staging environment where it receives further testing by the QA team and automated integration tests before being released to production.Still interested? You can work remotely or from one of our local offices. The salary starts at €3,500 based on your experience level.
