Jobbeschreibung

We are smava – the online credit comparison platform. We make loans transparent, fair and affordable! With more than 300.000 satisfied customers, we are one of the biggest FinTech companies in Germany. Become now part of our vision to shape the digital future of the consumer loan market!

Our Development teams are distributed along the customer journey, each being completely in charge of their corresponding part of the platform and respective services and systems. They operate in an autonomous and self-managed way: we live up to our belief in effective network structures where teams are enabled to make their own decisions within our exciting roadmap. This empowers everyone to a great extent - by sharing responsibility and decision-making amongst all colleagues.

YOUR NEW TEAM

We are looking for a Senior Full-Stack Engineer to join our Credit Card team. Our mission is to deliver a seamless, transparent and customer-friendly credit card experience — from application to approval and beyond. You will play a key role in building scalable full-stack solutions that help customers access credit products with confidence and ease.

WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING

• Work in a distributed environment with TypeScript/Node.js services and a TypeScript React-based UI, running on AWS.
• Ensure our services and user interfaces operate with high stability, reliability and observability, with traffic properly managed, monitored and tracked.
• Build intuitive, seamless and high-quality customer experiences across the credit card journey.
• Design and implement new features, improve existing systems and services and optimize business-critical performance, scalability and efficiency.
• Actively contribute ideas on how artificial intelligence can improve our systems, workflows and customer experience.
• Take an active role in your team’s decision-making processes, including goals, technical concepts, timelines, architecture and technology choices.
• Work closely with the Product Owner to plan, refine and continuously develop new features within the team’s domain.
• Be deeply involved in the end-to-end development, operation and maintenance of the team’s products, following our "you build it, you run it, you own it" philosophy, including DevOps responsibilities

YOUR PROFILE

• Expert level professional experience with Node.js and TypeScript.
• Experience building, maintaining and supporting React.js applications.
• Experience scaling services to handle traffic spikes, including the use of caching strategies and optimization of MySQL queries.
• Experience working with event-driven architectures, including message-based communication and asynchronous processing using technologies such as AWS SQS and SNS.
• Expert level experience with AWS and containerized microservice infrastructures, ideally using Kubernetes and Terraform.
• Familiarity with the LGTM observability stack: Loki, Grafana, Tempo and Mimir/Prometheus.
• Proven experience driving cross-team and cross-functional technical projects.
• Experience applying an AI-first approach to the software development lifecycle, using AI-assisted tools and practices to improve development speed, code quality, testing, documentation and engineering productivity.
• Experience working with additional programming languages beyond TypeScript/JavaScript is a plus.
• A passion for engineering excellence, clear communication and knowledge sharing.
• A proactive mindset, strong sense of ownership and willingness to take responsibility in a collaborative environment.
• Experience working in agile environments, ideally in startup-like companies or scale-ups with flat hierarchies.
