Jobbeschreibung

Company

Founded in Berlin, autarc is a 35+ person start-up who were part of Y Combinator’s S24 batch in San Francisco. Our team consists of people in Sales, Tech and Operations, with the Engineering & Product department currently 20 people, as we continue to grow throughout the year.

Role description

As a Staff Engineer, you will be part of a small squad working on improving the overall technical excellence of the company. You'll be responsible for working as part of a cross functional team that consists of other Engineers ranging from Junior to Senior, as well as a QA Engineer.

As the company expands its operations to other renewable energy sources, you’ll work on ensuring the product can scale effectively with respect to the amount of users who are using it on a daily basis.

This includes enhancing database performance, scaling infrastructure, working on countless third party integrations, focusing on quality assurance with a keen eye for testing and generally improving the Engineering team's best practices.

As a Staff Engineer within the team, you will be expected to authorise independent initiatives separate of C-suite. This means being someone who leads by example when it comes to having high standards, whilst also being a mentor that can offload information to other members of the team.

Ultimately you must be someone who has a product mindset, understanding what is needed to simply make things work.

Other responsibilities will include:

• Creating Frontend applications in React
• Focusing on flawless Frontend designs and UI
• Interacting with the Design team to improve UX
• Working on infrastructure topics
• Be hands-on in designing, coding and testing cycles for both existing and new features
• Develop B2B SaaS applications
• Have a high level of responsibility to turn ideas into performant and reliable code
• Conduct peer reviews
• Be part of leading full cycle roadmaps

From an Engineering perspective, the role is Fullstack with a 70/30 split between Frontend & Backend.

Requirements

• ~10 years of Engineering experience with proven leadership stints
• Track record in leading architecture conversations
• Hands on experience with the Javascript ecosystem, particularly React & Typescript
• Experience with a Backend language such as Typescript, Node or Python
• Background in working at B2B SaaS start-ups
• Located in Berlin and willingness to work on-site (3 days per week)
• Fluency in English with German being a huge bonus

What we offer

• Freedom to choose your own equipment (within a budget)
• 26 paid vacation days
• An annual team retreat
• The choice between Dance or JobRad for mobility
• The choice between Classpass or Urban Sports Club for fitness
• Regular team events, lunches and activities

• Screening call with Louis (Recruiter)
• Culture fit call with a Marius (CTO)
• Take home coding challenge (approx. 2-4 hours)
• Final on-site interview with Marius (CTO), Etienne (CEO) and the team
