Jobbeschreibung

We are Onfy - a German pharmacy marketplace founded in 2021. We are on a mission to constantly find new and innovative ways to support your health online. We empower our customers to take their health into their own hands by providing an easy, convenient and affordable experience.

Our website www.onfy.de launched in November 2021, and since then it has developed into an online platform that offers consumers the unique ability to order and to receive health products from several pharmacies at once with low prices and fast delivery.

We are an agile, rapidly growing team of forward thinkers, and we believe in people who want to change the world of health for the better using the latest technology available.

Onfy is one of the key businesses of Joom, an international tech-centric group of e-commerce companies that was founded in 2016 in Latvia. Joom Group also includes the following businesses: Joom, a global cross-border marketplace; JoomPro, the first and only end-to-end cross-border B2B marketplace; and JoomPulse, an AI analytics tool for Mercado Livre sellers. Joom Group has offices in Latvia, China, Germany, and Brazil, with its headquarters in Lisbon, Portugal. We work as one international team, sharing knowledge and collaborating across countries, businesses and products.

We continue to evolve our product experience, making it more advanced, reliable, and engaging for users. We are looking for a Senior Backend Developer to join the Onfy team - someone with deep backend expertise who can own complex technical areas, make strong architectural decisions, and actively contribute to product discussions.

The main focus of the role is backend development. At the same time, we value T-shaped engineers. We expect the person in this role to be interested in working across platform boundaries and growing beyond frontend when it brings value to the product. We actively use AI in our engineering workflows and welcome candidates who thoughtfully apply AI tools to improve development speed, quality, and decision-making.
