Senior Software Engineer (f/m/d)

Cologne (hybrid) or Berlin (remote) | Permanent Contract (Full-time)

We're building the trust layer for agentic & human commerce: a Trust Authority that issues and verifies credentials for AI agents acting on behalf of consumers and shops. The protocol, the APIs and the UI - you would be a core engineer on it.

Your Key Responsibilities as a Senior Software Engineer (f/m/d):

• Design and build the APIs and services behind our Trust Authority - credential issuance, verification, refresh and revocation.

• Develop cross‑platform Web Components

• Work with open identity standards such as OAuth2 / OIDC, passkeys, Verifiable Credentials, did:web, Web Bot Auth

• Own the system design - service boundaries, data models, API contracts - and make the calls that others build on.

• Build and run it on AWS with Terraform (Lambda, ECS, API Gateway, DynamoDB, KMS), including monitoring and alerting.

• Ingest and analyse agent traffic, and turn raw signals into something we can act on.

• Own our automated testing: build the end‑to‑end, contract and visual regression suites in CI (Playwright) from scratch, so we release without manual regression checks.

• Take features from an unclear idea to production and keep them healthy.

• Strong backend engineering in Node.js / TypeScript

• Frontend experience with JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML, CSS.

• Real API and system design experience: you've designed APIs other teams depend on, and you can explain your trade-offs.

• Hands‑on AWS and infrastructure as code (Terraform). You deploy your own changes.

• Solid security fundamentals: OAuth2 / OIDC, secure API design, and the basics of signing and key management.

• You've built automated test suites others rely on, not just tests alongside your own features. Hands‑on with a modern E2E framework such as Playwright or Cypress.

• You're comfortable when the answer isn't known yet, and you decide with incomplete information.

Nice‑to‑haves:

• Keycloak, Verifiable Credentials, DIDs, WebAuthn / passkeys, or HTTP message signatures.

• Event‑driven architecture (SNS / SQS) or data pipelines.

• Web Components (Lit) - parts of our team ship UI that runs inside our customers' websites.

What we offer you:

• Hybrid work:Combine flexible remote work with team time in the Cologne office (on‑site days depending on your location)

• Workation: Temporarily work from a destination of your choice within EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein or Norway

• 28 vacation days

• 2.5 additional days off at Christmas, New Year's Eve and Carnival

• Buddy program (an experienced trustee is at your side)

• Individual learning & development opportunities (internal & external trainings, e‑learnings)

• Events (Team Events, Unit Events, etc.)

• Health Pass (free online and offline sports, fitness, and health courses)

• Permanent contract with Europe's trusted brand
