Job description

Описание:

Careship helps families find reliable support in everyday life: all across Germany, through self-employed caregivers and our own employed caregivers. Behind both stands a platform we built entirely ourselves, live since August 2026: a Python backend, an internal staff portal, an app for customers and an app for caregivers. This is why we are looking for the second person in our permanent engineering duo.

Задачи:

You work as one of two engineers on our system, with a focus on the Python backend: data model, business logic, APIs and the integrations our operations run on. If full stack is your thing, the rest is open to you: the staff portal in Next.js and our two apps in React Native. You share responsibility and cover for each other, in everyday work and during vacations. You build features from the data model through the business logic to the finished API endpoint, and all the way to the screen if you want. You work on core topics like the budget engine, billing, the payroll pipeline and matching. You maintain code in production that real people use every day: our operations team, caregivers, and customers with their families. You work directly with product and the tech lead, no layers in between. You get freedom and real responsibility: the system is brand new, much of it is taking shape right now, and you help decide where it goes.

Требования:

At least 3 years of experience in professional product development, more is a plus. Solid Python experience in production, ideally with FastAPI and SQLAlchemy or comparable frameworks. Confidence with relational databases and SQL, PostgreSQL in our case. You already code with AI support as a matter of course, ideally with real enthusiasm. For us this is a requirement, because it is how we work every day. Diligence where mistakes cost money or trust: billing, payments, personal data. Fluent English. Appetite for a small team with a lot of responsibility and a direct line to the people who use your software.

Будет плюсом:

German is a plus; TypeScript, React, React Native or Next.js, if you also want to work on the frontend; App store releases and Expo EAS; Google Cloud, Google Workspace APIs, or experience with payment and e-signature integrations; Experience in regulated domains such as health, care or fintech; WebSockets and real-time features; German language skills, since our domain and our specifications are in German.

Условия:

• A brand-new system with real room to shape it: two engineers, clear specifications, no decades-old legacy, and plenty of space to keep building
• Freedom and responsibility from day one, flat hierarchies, no meeting marathons
• Real social impact: your work helps seniors get support and makes sure caregivers are paid fairly and on time
• Home office with regular shared days at our Berlin office
• Several weeks per year of fully remote work, from abroad if you like
• 30 days of paid vacation
• A new MacBook with serious power
• An annual learning budget plus two extra paid learning days
• An Urban Sports membership
• Deutschlandticket (Germany-wide public transport pass)
• Regular team events
• The annual salary for this permanent, 40-hour-per-week role is EUR 60,000–70,000 per year.
