We are seeking a Senior Backend Software Engineer to join our development team — someone who shares our belief that the best innovations come from empowered individuals and who is eager to become part of a team that values collaboration, creativity, and camaraderie.

About WeAre Rooms

WeAre Rooms is more than a VR tool—it’s a game-changing solution for visualizing and interacting with 3D models in immersive, collaborative environments. By focusing on the critical planning phases of projects like construction plants, we help prevent costly construction errors, reduce travel expenses (and CO2 emissions), and enhance communication and connection across teams.

Are you interested in bridging cutting-edge VR technology with the needs of traditional industries as well as jumping into users' perspectives? Our vision is to create tools that are as seamless to integrate as they are intuitive to use, striking the perfect balance between innovation and practicality. With a robust technology stack—Unity, Django, React, AWS and ElasticSearch — we’re building the future of virtual collaboration for the engineering world.

WeAre GmbH

Are you looking for a team that values your voice, fosters creativity, and gives you the freedom to shape the future of cutting-edge VR solutions? Welcome to our world.

We are a close-knit and dynamic VR company made up of 10 professionals : a Marketing / Sales team, a VR team and a Full Stack technical team (Backend / Frontend / DevOps). Together, we create immersive virtual reality experiences and innovative digital solutions for B2B clients in the mechanical and plant engineering industry.

We believe that work should complement life, not compete with it. We support each other through personal and professional growth, and we value open, honest communication. With flat hierarchies and a collaborative spirit, every team member contributes to designing and shaping our products. We cherish open communication, value opinions across the entire team, and celebrate personal connections. Work-life balance is a priority for us—whether it’s supporting each other through life’s changes or coming together for laughter, board games, and good food during our gatherings.

Our values (a note from the CEO & Founder)

Team spirit and collaboration are at the core of our identity; every team member is heard, valued, and respected.

We foster an environment where autonomy, accountability, and entrepreneurial thinking lead to flat hierarchies and mutual respect. While we expect commitment, passion, and a proactive approach, we strongly believe in sustainable performance rather than short-term gains.

We understand that professional success must align with personal well-being. Hence, maintaining a healthy work-life balance, where family, friends, and personal interests have their space, is essential to our culture. We aim to build lasting relationships with our team members. It's a marathon, not a sprint.

If you identify with grounded values, genuine passion, and a readiness to perform, we'd love to hear from you.

Role Overview

Do you have substantial experience in backend development with a passion for full-stack roles and enjoy problem-solving in a team and across departments? Do you find joy in structuring your code so it tests, scales, and maintains well? Do you love properly architected services? Do successful builds from your CI service put a smile on your face? Does digging through server logs and performance stats to optimize runtime and service quality sound like an adventure? And do you love to communicate and work with your teammates and customers to create a remarkable product that solves real-world problems and improves people's daily lives?
