About the role

As a Senior Product Engineer you will take ownership of one domain of our software build new features for our customers and sometimes even for other teams.

We're looking for multiple engineers across our entire stack yet on the daily you're going to be contributing either leaning towards the frontend or the backend of our product.

You will also exchange knowledge and learnings with other developers and collaborate closely with your peers while still being autonomous and remote. Finally you will leverage the feedback from customers to build features that align closely with their needs.

What you will be doing

• Develop new features and improve existing ones in an iterative way so that they´re reliable secure scalable well-tested cost efficient and performant. And we know it always sounds easier than it might be but this is part of our job. We have to make the right tradeoffs prioritize properly and focus on impact. You know how it is. #lessbutbetter

• end2end ownership following the you-build-it-you-run-it principle: You´re part of the full lifecycle of our products i.e. from discovery through implementation releasing to operating observing and maintaining them. No one throws code over the fence of another team. From our experience full ownership is key. #fullownership

• Work remotely and collaborate in cross-functional teams with a high level of autonomy.

• This does not only mean you´re a great team player with strong communication skills it also means:

• you work very well with all the peers and stakeholders in the team and are not afraid of giving and receiving feedback. Feedback is a wonderful gift the essence to a great remote culture and the core of our growth and success. #succeedwithjoy #becordial #keepgrowing

• we all are delivery managers. As such we create transparency about the progress of our work and take care of releasing our artifacts. And sometimes we even craft some nice instructions for our colleagues in customer support to make their and our customers´ lives easier. #customerobsession #succeedwithjoy

• you care about what we build and participate proactively in ideations roadmap plannings discoveries and other team meetings. #fullownership #customerobsession

• the code you write is great to work with for current and future peers (e.g. by writing clean code following best practices principles and patterns writing tests documenting important decisions …) #keepgrowing

• Solve what matters: we don´t want you to be an engineer that just finds a solution for a problem but a product engineer that solves the issues of our customers and builds products they love. We want you to be proud of your work. Not because of overengineering but because our customers love what we build. And how would you know that? Because you´re a data-driven engineer tracking the KPIs you created to measure our success. Think like an entrepreneur. #customerobsession #thinkdesign #lessbutbetter
