Job description

Help shape the future of cloud-based access solutions

At SKIDATA, we're evolving the cloud platform behind some of the world’s leading access solutions. We're looking for an experienced Senior Software Engineer (m/f/d) to bring deep software engineering expertise, influence technical direction, and help us build the next generation of our platform.

The Role

At SKIDATA, we build software that needs to perform when it matters most. Every day, our cloud services handle high volumes of transactions and must remain fast, reliable, and available around the clock. For us, software engineering is not just about writing code. It's about making the right technical decisions to deliver systems that customers can trust.

You’ll play an important role in shaping how our platform evolves. You’ll contribute ideas, influence architectural decisions, and help solve complex challenges around scalability, performance, and reliability. If you're motivated by building high-quality software, working alongside experienced engineers, and having a genuine voice in technical discussions, you’ll find both challenge and impact here.

What You’ll Do

• Technical Authority: Help shape architecture and design decisions for our Java-based cloud services, setting the standard for quality, performance, and reliability across the platform.
• Specification-Driven Development (SDD): Turn requirements into clear, testable specifications that guide design, implementation, and verification from the very start.
• Feature Ownership: Own the end-to-end design and implementation of complex, cross-cutting features in our cloud services, building in scalability and robustness from day one.
• Performance & Scalability: Drive performance and reliability initiatives so that our cloud services scale for customers around the globe.
• Cross-Team Collaboration: Partner closely with architects, developers, QA, product owners, and hosting teams to align design decisions and deliver robust, high-impact solutions.
• Engineering Excellence: Raise the technical bar through code reviews, knowledge sharing, and the promotion of best practices such as SDD, TDD, CI/CD, and modern development approaches.

What You Bring

• 8+ years of experience in software development, with a proven track record in cloud-based systems and complex distributed services.
• Deep understanding of software engineering fundamentals, including object-oriented design, object lifecycle management, parallelism, dependency injection, database transactions, and distributed systems concepts.
• Experience designing scalable, high-availability applications, with strong knowledge of database transactions, queuing concepts, and software build and release processes.
• Hands‑on experience with Specification-Driven Development (SDD) and modern software delivery practices, including TDD and CI/CD pipelines.
• Experience with container technologies (e.g., Docker), cloud infrastructure, and agile development environments, ideally in an expert, principal, or technical‑lead capacity.
• Fluent English, spoken and written; German is a plus.

What You Can Expect

• Flexible Hybrid Work Model: Achieve a better work-life balance with our adaptable hybrid working options.
• Meal Allowance: Benefit from a digital meal allowance designed to suit your preferences.
• Job Bike Leasing Program: Join our bike leasing program and enjoy a healthier, more active lifestyle.
• Transport Subsidy: Receive financial support for your Job Ticket to help with your daily travel costs.
• Extra Vacation Days: Take an optional additional week of vacation to recharge.
• Support Sustainability: Use the electric vehicle charging stations in our parking area for eco-friendly commuting.
• Global Collaboration: Work alongside an international team of specialists and share knowledge and insights across diverse backgrounds.
• Professional Growth Opportunities: Find excellent opportunities for career development and skill building.
