Job Teaser

What you can expect

• Lead a team of engineers designing, developing and operating integration services that connect our customers’ internal systems with Flip (e.g. HR systems, knowledge bases)
• Push forward our integration platform, a dedicated runtime environment for custom integrations (based on Kubernetes and ArgoCD).
• We work remote within international (mostly European), cross-functional agile teams.
• We develop software following modern software engineering practices (API first, code reviews, automated tests, MR environments for exploratory testing before a merge, and some tasteful experimental AI augmentation).
• We deploy (Kubernetes, Helm) and monitor (Grafana, Sentry, Mixpanel) our services within the teams, with the support of a separate team of SREs for on-call duty.
• Join customer calls together with your product manager to understand their specific problems and empower your team to build solutions that cover a majority of customer contexts.
• Take charge on technical topics that are important to you, driving significant decisions, and seeking alignment across teams within our backend guild.

What you bring to the table

We're seeking a skilled, experienced engineer ready to step up and own complex integration challenges.

Must Haves

• 5+ years of software engineering experience, working on backend systems
• You have designed, implemented, deployed and operated asynchronous backend services, ideally for data-heavy integrations with other systems
• Excellent communication skills, that enable you to directly work with customers, partners and other important stakeholders
• Relevant experience with Kotlin/Java and JVM frameworks (Spring, Micronaut)
• Interest in developing your own skills and those of your team

Nice to Haves

• Experience working in SaaS startup environments
• Experience in building SaaS integrations (and specifically with OIDC/OAuth)
• Infrastructure experience (the integration runtime is built on Kubernetes and uses a GitOps workflow)
• Fullstack development experience (some integrations have frontend components)

What we offer you

• Work mode: We’re remote-first, giving you flexibility to work from home. At the same time, we deeply value the power of in-person collaboration. Depending on the role, you’ll join occasional team events, workshops, or meetings in our Berlin or Stuttgart offices - always with plenty of notice. The exact balance will be discussed during your interview.
• Work-Life-Balance: We don't want you to grow roots to your desk chair. That's why we cover the costs of your E-Gym-Wellpass membership and offer job bike leasing.
• Celebrating success: Expect highly motivated and committed people in a relaxed working atmosphere.
• Be part of something bigger: You actively shape Flip in your role. Along the way, you are an enabler of the rapid growth process of a young tech company and grow towards your goals, fun is guaranteed.
• Happy to be a Flipster: Stay tuned for regular team events and culture days that bring us together as Flipsters.
• Working abroad: At Flip you can also work abroad in the European Union. Let's talk about remote work in the interview.
