Job Description
Our client is a Hamburg-based startup specializing in optimizing industrial supply chains through the use of advanced AI and big data technologies. Their innovative tools enable businesses to reduce inventory, shorten lead times, and minimize capital exposure by providing real-time adaptability across complex operations. With a focus on streamlining processes for multi-location supply chains, our client helps companies achieve greater efficiency and resilience in their logistics and operational strategies.
Position description
Unlike many companies, being a Senior Engineer at our client isn’t just a pay grade or an empty title, it’s a distinction. It means you’ve built successful products before, faced hard-to-debug production issues, and consistently delivered solid, long-term solutions. It’s about knowing how to get things done right, not just fast.
As a Senior Full-Stack Engineer, you’ll be able to own a feature end-to-end - from frontend to backend and database, and occasionally even contribute to UX decisions when needed.
You’ll join the Applications Team, working alongside experienced teammates who truly know their craft. There’s no rigid hierarchy with dedicated architects or tech leads -the expectation is that senior engineers can create strong first drafts independently and are confident enough to collaborate and refine solutions together.
You will be working on:
- A state-of-the-art software platform that helps customers save millions
- Making the product fully enterprise-ready and self-service oriented
- Delivering feature increments from frontend to backend
- Resolving bugs in a way that prevents them from recurring
- Building monitoring and testing to detect issues before customers do
- Continuously improving developer experience for faster, smoother delivery cycles
Requirements:
- Experience working on long-term, evolving products
- Strong coding skills in React, TypeScript, and Node.js (or similar technologies)
- Solid, intermediate-level experience with databases and GraphQL
- Hands-on experience with automated testing tools such as Cypress and Jest
- Ability to lead projects or major feature initiatives
- Strong communication skills and the ability to engage in constructive technical discussions to reach elegant, simple solutions
What you will find helpful:
- Previous experience with Hasura or similar GraphQL middleware
- Good understanding of CSS fundamentals (box model, flexbox, styling)
- Background in event sourcing for complex workflows
- DevOps / Cloud experience to improve internal productivity
- Experience integrating AI systems (e.g. chat, recommendations, automation)
Benefits:
At our client, people do their best work when they feel supported, connected, and empowered. You can expect:
- Competitive compensation
- 35–40 hour work week, supporting work-life balance without compromising impact
- Relocation package, including full assistance and accommodation guidance
- Visa sponsorship with end-to-end support
- Wellpass gym membership — hundreds of fitness and wellness options for just €10/month
- Job ticket with subsidized public transport
- German language courses, fully supported
- Snacks, drinks, and great coffee always available
- Modern office in Hamburg with panoramic city views
- Supportive, international team culture
- Real ownership and freedom to make meaningful impact
- Flexible working hours
- Regular team events, from lunches to offsites
