About the role

  • Lead a team of engineers designing, developing and operating integration services that connect our customers’ internal systems with Flip (e.g. HR systems, knowledge bases)
  • Push forward our integration platform, a dedicated runtime environment for custom integrations (based on Kubernetes and ArgoCD).
  • Our tech stack is mostly JVM-based (Kotlin, Micronaut), some components are written in Python and JavaScript.
  • We work remote within international (mostly European), cross-functional agile teams.
  • We develop software following modern software engineering practices (API first, code reviews, automated tests, MR environments for exploratory testing before a merge, and some tasteful experimental AI augmentation).
  • We deploy (Kubernetes, Helm) and monitor (Grafana, Sentry, Mixpanel) our services within the teams, with the support of a separate team of SREs for on-call duty.
  • Join customer calls together with your product manager to understand their specific problems and empower your team to build solutions that cover a majority of customer contexts.
  • Take charge on technical topics that are important to you, driving significant decisions, and seeking alignment across teams within our backend guild.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of software engineering experience, working on backend systems
  • You have designed, implemented, deployed and operated asynchronous backend services, ideally for data-heavy integrations with other systems
  • Excellent communication skills, that enable you to directly work with customers, partners and other important stakeholders
  • Relevant experience with Kotlin/Java and JVM frameworks (Spring, Micronaut)
  • Interest in developing your own skills and those of your team.
  • Experience working in SaaS startup environments
  • Experience in building SaaS integrations (and specifically with OIDC/OAuth)
  • Infrastructure experience (the integration runtime is built on Kubernetes and uses a GitOps workflow)
  • Fullstack development experience (some integrations have frontend components)
Benefits
  • We’re remote-first, giving you flexibility to work from home. At the same time, we deeply value the power of in-person collaboration. Depending on the role, you’ll join occasional team events, workshops, or meetings in our Berlin or Stuttgart offices - always with plenty of notice. The exact balance will be discussed during your interview.
  • We don't want you to grow roots to your desk chair. That's why we cover the costs of your E-Gym-Wellpass membership and offer job bike leasing.
  • Expect highly motivated and committed people in a relaxed working atmosphere.
  • You actively shape Flip in your role. Along the way, you are an enabler of the rapid growth process of a young tech company and grow towards your goals, fun is guaranteed.
  • Stay tuned for regular team events and culture days that bring us together as Flipsters.
  • At Flip you can also work abroad in the European Union. Let's talk about remote work in the interview.
