Jobbeschreibung

At Pathway Solutions GmbH , we're on a mission to automate accounting for E-Commerce and SaaS companies. Our goal is to free 10,000 entrepreneurs from the burden of manual bookkeeping so they can focus on what they do best : growing their business. We are a fast-paced, fully remote company experiencing significant customer growth, and we're looking for passionate builders to join us.

The Opportunity : Shape the Core of Our Platform

We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to be a driving force in the evolution of our core platform. You won't just be writing code; you'll be a key contributor to the architectural decisions and implementations that will shape the future of our product.

This isn't a maintenance role. You'll be taking ownership of new features from concept to deployment, tackling complex challenges in platform scalability and ensuring speed and excellence in our growing list of third-party integrations.

• Architect & Build : Design, develop, and deploy robust, scalable backend services using Java and Spring Boot 3 on the Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
• Own Features : Take full ownership of the entire development lifecycle for new platform features—from technical design and requirement clarification with product and support teams to testing and deployment.
• Solve Complex Problems : Dive deep into business logic, tackle challenging API integrations (e.g., Shopify, Stripe), and build solutions that provide real value to our customers in the accounting and e-commerce domains.
• Ensure Reliability : Proactively monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize production environments to ensure our platform is performant and reliable.
• Collaborate & Mentor : Participate in code reviews, share your knowledge with the team, and contribute to a culture of engineering excellence.
• 5+ years of professional experience in backend development, with a strong command of Java and the Spring Boot framework. Experience in AI Coding Tools & willingness to further drive AI Adoption in our Development process.
• A Structured Mindset : You excel at breaking down complex problems, clarifying requirements with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, and designing clean, well-architected solutions.
• API Expertise : Deep experience designing and consuming RESTful and / or GraphQL APIs, including complex third-party integrations.
• Cloud Proficiency : Hands‑on experience building and deploying applications on cloud platforms, preferably GCP (Compute Engine, Cloud Run, PubSub, etc.).
• Problem‑Solving Skills : Excellent debugging, troubleshooting, and analytical skills. You're comfortable navigating ambiguity and finding the root cause of an issue.
• Strong Collaboration Skills : You communicate clearly and work effectively within a team‑oriented environment. You have experience with Git, continuous deployment pipelines (like Gitlab), and agile practices like monthly scope planning and regular code reviews.
• Flexibility : Remote‑first and family‑friendly working hours – you decide when you work. No office presence required.
• Development : Coaching budget, mentoring, and a diverse team.
• Vacation : 30 days off to recharge.
• Compensation : An attractive salary package awaits you.
• Growth Curve : Take on responsibility and grow with us.

Nice-to-Have Skills

• Experience with relational databases (like MySQL) and / or NoSQL solutions.
• Familiarity with event‑driven architecture and message queues (e.g., GCP Pub / Sub, Kafka).
• Previous experience working in a fast‑paced SaaS environment.
• Domain knowledge in the accounting or e‑commerce industries.
