Who We’re Looking ForWe’re searching for a Full-Stack Engineer, ideally with 5+ years of experience in SaaS projects. Got the skills in both frontend and backend? Perfect! Here's where your knowledge will come in handy:
Nice-to-have:
Since we work in cross-functional teams, mastering every area is not necessary. But you should have expert knowledge in at least one area. What matters most is that you share our values and are a good fit with our crew. We value personal development and provide the space for it. Strong English language skills are essential, as we regularly communicate with colleagues in the US and write documentation in English. At work, we communicate mostly in German, but we can all speak English. If you speak pirate, that wouldn’t hurt either – YYYAAAARRRRrrrrrr!
The Team and DomainsWe're currently forming another platform team (in line with Team Topologies) where you will set your anchor. Your expertise will have real impact on our crew as your internal customers. In addition to ongoing work, this team will tackle projects in the following areas:
Since our founding in 2014, we’ve been disrupting the package shipping market in the US with our software.
Our mission is to make the complex parcel shipping process as simple, user-friendly, and affordable as possible. We operate in multiple locations in the US and serve the American market exclusively. However, the development of our web app has always had its home base in Hamburg-Ottensen.
Together with our overseas colleagues, we work daily to deliver the best possible product for our users. This is what we're valued for, and it’s the wind in our sails.
Our Values & CultureAs an owner-managed company with a crisis-proof product in a growth-oriented market, we can combine high-quality standards, attention to detail, and an attractive working environment with great conditions. We believe creativity and room for personal ideas provide the optimal environment for innovation, progress, and quality. Trust and helpfulness, combined with many opportunities to take on responsibility, enable personal growth. This means working with little hierarchy and a pull, not push, approach to tasks.
This agile, self-organized way of working requires a high level of personal responsibility and enthusiasm for close teamwork. We give each other quick feedback and aren’t afraid of conflict, but always find fair, solution-oriented consensus. In doing so, we learn a lot from each other, and value diversity as opportunity.
To ensure long-term collaboration, we do everything possible to make family and work compatible.
What Doesn’t FitYou won’t be happy here if you expect complete, end-to-end processes like in large corporations. On our ship, some things are still not perfectly tied down, but we work together to improve systematically. You’ll also be unhappy if you’re a lone wolf, apathetic, or expect to be told exactly what to do. And if you happen to be a macho, fascist, or conspiracy theorist, you’ll be quickly keelhauled!
Anything Else?We haven’t listed the usual perks like free fruit, beer, foosball, or ball pits. If you’d like those, let’s chat. We either already have them or can make them happen! We offer the following:
If you think you’d be a good fit for our team, feel free to reach out!
