Where we're heading
At Buena, we’re building software that will redefine how property management works - in Germany and beyond. Our roadmap is huge, and this role sits at the center of it.
- Depth.We’re expanding from accounting into AI-powered workflows, ticketing, communication, and owner management - rebuilding core processes from the ground up.
- Breadth.Property management touches many verticals. New product areas (brokerage, banking, maintenance, insurance) offer greenfield opportunities where you can take the lead.
- Global.Germany is only the starting point. Once we dominate this market, we plan to expand across Europe - and ultimately enter the US with a category-defining product.
What we're looking for
- 2+ years experience building and shipping production-ready web applications
- Strong skills in TypeScript, React, and Node.js (or comparable modern JS stacks)
- Ability to own features end-to-end - from idea to implementation to production
- Solid understanding of modern web architecture (APIs, state management, data flows)
- High ownership and autonomy - you can make decisions and ship without hand-holding
What you'll do
- Build and ship features end-to-end - from database to frontend.
- Own parts of the product and make architectural decisions that matter.
- Improve performance and reliability across our core systems.
- Work directly with product & design to turn real workflows into simple software.
- Shape our engineering culture as we grow (coding standards, tools, best practices)
What we offer
- Competitive salary & meaningful equity - you share in the value you help create.
- 25 days of paid vacation plus public holidays - we want you to rest and recharge.
- A premium work setup - MacBook Pro, external display, and everything you need to do your best work.
- Hybrid work with real flexibility - collaborate in our Berlin HQ, work remotely when it makes sense.
- €500 monthly housing support if you choose to live near our office.
- Daily breakfast and specialty coffee to start your day right, plus a €110 monthly lunch budget.
- €50 monthly wellness budget to support your physical and mental health.
- Monthly team events and workshops to connect, learn, and build something meaningful together.
